Dewey Decimal Number: 813.54 EAN: 9781573441568 ISBN: 1573441562 Label: Cleis Press Manufacturer: Cleis Press Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 220 Publication Date: July 26, 2002 Publisher: Cleis Press Studio: Cleis Press Editorial Review: Product Description: “I had been Jonathan’s slave for about a year when he told me he wanted to sell me at an auction. I wasn’t in any condition to respond when he told me this.” So begins Carrie’s tale of uncompromising sexual adventure. Set in San Francisco and Napa Valley, this is an erotic journey into the netherworld of slave auctions and training regimes. Imagine Story of O starring a Berkeley Ph.D. in comparative lit who moonlights as a bike messenger and has a penchant for irony, self-analysis, and anal sex. “My favorite neo-Victorian erotic romance writer ... bring on the ponies!” — Susie Bright Related Items:      see moreAverage Rating:
 Rating:  - Ok for a quick readI read this book rather quickly. It is an easy read, but there's not a lot of scenery in this book. I prefer a book that really sets a scene well and this one falls short in that department. There's not much emotion or flowery details that paint a picture to visualize while reading. It's written almost matter of fact, and in my opinion leaves the story more on the boring side. I had just finished reading "The Market Place" series when I read this book and it pales in comparison for a lifestyle story. Rating:  - Carrie's StoryStunningly written - I could almost feel the lashes and humiliation she received from Jonathon and feel her tears. There were times I cried with her. Rating:  - ...Carrie's Story takes place in San Francisco and introduces us to a college student named Carrie and her master Jonathan, who picked her up at a party. The two have an agreement of Carrie being Jonathan's play toy a few days a week and the two more or less play at master/slave for around a year. Afterwards Carrie is taken to Europe and trained and prepped for the slave auctions, despite the fact that her training has been rather poor thanks to Jonathan being lazy. More or less the same reaction as with Safe Word, but this one is all told by Carrie. Dry and clinical, interesting enough to make me finish the book, but both are a waste of money. Rating: - Good BookThis was a good story and I can't wait to read the sequel. It did well to bring me into the characters' mind. Rating:  - ewwwwwTHis was a horrible story!! I still can't get the images outta of my head. I wanted an erotic boook to read I had no idea it would be so depressing and de humanizing..HORRIBLE!!! |
The story is pointedly set in the late 1980s, years before the establishment of the WNBA, so Monica's prospects for pro ball lie exclusively in Europe, while Quincy steps into the pros at home. It's a pleasure to see a character as passionate and fully developed as Monica, and Lathan gives a fiery portrayal (she had never played ball before the film, but you'd never tell from her performance). Prince-Bythewood favors her struggle over Quincy's and opens our eyes to her unique challenges with a sharp, savvy contrast. Alfre Woodard costars as Monica's harping mom (always trying to get her to be more ladylike) and Dennis Haysbert is Quincy's philandering father. Hoops fan Spike Lee produced. --Sean Axmaker
