laurelinwonder's review against another edition
This needs its own rating system, read about it before jumping in. This is very much in the vein of Marquis de Sade.

Another thing to add to my list in order to one day be able to say "now I have seen everything".
Story Of The Eye is a weird excursion into the abyss of sexual obsession over piss and eggs. I never thought I'd write such a sentence, but here we are.
This work takes an unconventional approach to exploring themes of sexuality, diving into the unconventional and often taboo aspects of human desire. Although it contains elements that some may find disturbing, it nonetheless provides a unique perspective that challenges societal norms.
I am not one to kink shame but this was....a lot.
"Simone slapped the sacerdotal pig, which gave him another hard-on. We stripped off all his clothes, and Simone crouched down and pissed on them like a bitch. Then she wanked and sucked the pig while I urinated in his nostrils. Finally, to top off this cold exaltation, I fucked Simone in the ass while she violently sucked his cock."
Need I say more?

A 16 year old girl came into the bookstore and I found this for her. I too read it because it was supposed to be hot.
It's not. It's just boring and pretentious.
