I was shocked then angry and at the end very, very sad. It allows the listener to really absorb what is happening and the mind blowing way in which this woman accepts her fate and how in the end she is discarded like a piece of garbage.

When O has a chance to get away from the abusive behavior she chose to stay. What was one of the most memorable moments of Story of O? To think these dehumanizingactivities may go on in the world is truly disturbing. Yes, I will wait at least a year because I became outraged listening to the level of inhumanity one woman would endure in the name of 'love'. It's a powerful read and I think it's worth the listen. I finished this book about 5 days ago and still can't get the images out of mind. She gave everything away and had nothing left to give. She allowed all this and became nothing more than an owl, an object a thing to be used in any which way for love. The last scene where O is displayed for all to see as nothing more than Sir Stephen's object, his toy, his person was so tragic. It has a strange voyeuristic feel - you are watching or reading something that you shouldn't and what is happening behind closed doors isn't really meant for you, yet you can't stop listening or watching. The Story of O doesn't do a damn thing to make you feel good or try to entertain you. Don't get me wrong, I read FSOG and it's light and fluffy and shinny. It was a psychological journey and makes all the FSOG books look so trite because this story is the real deal. It was a very hypnotic listen.ĭid you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I got sucked in and thought that Kathe Mazur's voice cut through the tragedy and lulled you into 'O's' tale. She read each word slowly and deliberately. What does Käthe Mazur bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book? 'O' had zero inkling to save her self and truly and literally was a submissive. She was not so willing to bend and while O called her selfish, Jacqueline had a sense for self preservation. I found Jacqueline's character to be very interesting because she was so different from O. I don't know if I liked any of the characters. It's intense, disturbing, sad, and seductive.

Not sure if i would listen to it again but I am glad that I finally gave this audio a go.

Would you listen to Story of O again? Why?
