Wow, what a fantastic story! I've always been a little curious about the world of BDSM but really didn't know where to go to learn more. I happened to stumble upon "Rebecca's Bottom" and was captivated from the very first pages.The characters were dynamically written, down to some small nuances of the character's actions that really brought them to life for the reader. Not being too far off from my own college days, I found the setting easy to relate to and loved the fact that Rebecca was an English major as well.But my absolute favorite part of "Rebecca's Bottom" was the fact that the author cleverly inserted some very well researched and put together background material about BDSM; a "users guide", if you will. Interspersed throughout the story were letters that Rebecca wrote in which she outlined her own curiosities about the BDSM world, from the history to some of the lifestyle's etiquette. Everything from how people in the lifestyle should react in particular social situations to (what really surprised me the most), how respect for each other plays a huge part in the success of the BDSM perspective. When I began reading this book, I thought BDSM was just about some random encounters with handcuffs and spanking. But I was fascinated to learn that there is a whole lifestyle set up in which protecting its members is paramount.It goes without saying that there is sexual content in this book. However, the scenes - though graphic - were tastefully crafted.If you have ever been curious about BDSM and want to learn a little more while also being entertained by a great story line, I would highly recommend "Rebecca's Bottom." It's a great way to learn about this lifestyle while following Rebecca's adventures from a naive college student to a mature, confident woman embracing the BDSM lifestyle. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and think you, too, will find it a quality story and an amazing guide on BDSM!!
