FyreAngel -> The MarketPlace (9/3/2007 9:33:28 PM)

So, I've just finished reading the book The MarketPlace by Laura A. Took ages to actually get my hands on the book. Book stores dont carry the series, yet they carry Ann Rice's Beauty series. Any who, i was wondering who else has read the MarketPlace series and what they thought. A little lit discussion?
I've read the Story of O and I didnt really like it. All the "love" manipulations of the girl as she got passed onto other men and then ultimetely dropped at the end (after a good ol branding) wasnt very, eh. IMO it was a weird story. The Beauty series was fantastic. It was a great fantasy. Which was enjoyable to read and even day dream about at later times. It was clearly "fantasy land" and was enjoyable as such. This MarketPlace book is quite different then the other two that i have read. Its got a solid dose of reality in it. IMO the book isnt based around kink and sex. Its based around the realities of being a slave. Life isnt all about sucking/fucking/whipping and clamping. There is ALOT more to it then that and i felt that the MarketPlace really touched on it. i loved the fact that the book wasnt based around sexual kink. Of course it had sexual tidbits here and there in it, but it wasnt the man focus.
I also thought it had great charactor development. It was 4 people and their trials and tribulations of learning how to become slaves. It dealt with their own personal baggage and what they needed improvement on. Fascinating really to watch people develop. I also enjoyed reading about each of their own myths about "the lifestyle" be dispelled.
Anyone care to discuss it?
Oh and i saw an add in the back of the book "To Love, To Obey, To Serve" and i was wondering if anyone has read that book and what they thought of it?
