About this audiobook

Before we go any further, let's get this out of the way. I want you to do three things for me.

One. Do not be offended by anything you read beyond this point.
Two. Leave your inhibitions at the door.
Three, and most important. Everything you see and hear from now on must remain between us. Now, let me take you to a place you've never been before...

Film student Catherine has a secret: a long-held dream, the source of all her sexual imaginings. A dream full of desires of which she is ashamed and embarrassed. And these vivid dreams eventually find their way into her everyday life. One night, at a club, she meets at a man who leads her into a strange world. And soon she is drawn toward the Juliette Society, an exclusive secret society in which all the deepest, darkest fantasies are explored. But for those who join this world, there is no turning back.

A Hachette Audio production.

    Sasha Grey's first foray into writing is littered with classic film references, and the novel itself centers around a Kubrick-esque secret sex society. It is, predictably, replete with sexual scenarios and lurid imagery but as such it is well written avoiding the purple prose of bad harlequins or the unreadable "steamy" scenes in Fifty Shades of Grey. You'd think that the protagonist in an erotic novel written by a former pornographic actress would be a Mary Sue character, but this isn't the case. The author puts us inside her character's head and keeps us there, with her doubts and insecurities. That said, the progression of the chapters seems formulaic, bouncing from an internal monologue to a sex scene to a plot driving event sequence. Further, the twist at the end also suffers from relying on formula. Howeever, if I had to choose between this and Fifty Shades, I'd choose this. Someone who had sex professionally for years who has also read the erotic classics from De Sade, Bataille, an others obviously pulls it off better than somebody who started out writing smutty fan fiction about teenage vampires.
