This story was just hard to get into, not just because of the graphic and violent sex, but because there is no introduction to who the character, O, is or why she goes along with what her lover has her do. It's really baffling why this woman is so intent on getter her lover's approval and continues to say "I love you" to someone who expects her to accept his prostitution of her as well as the torturing that goes along with it.
I thought it was just an awful story, and I'm not even sure how I managed to finish it. I think mostly, I was looking for a real answer to "Why?". Why would someone, anyone, allow themselves to be degraded to by such brutal sexual treatment and then, in day-to-day activity, act as if it's all common-place? And why, would the other people in the story want to do these sorts of things to another person for pleasure?
Considering where the story takes place, it must be a French thing. I don't recommend this book, even if you are curious like I was. It was crap.
