As She Told Anneke Jacob 9781934349991 Books

This was the most disturbing and unnerving book I have read to date. This is more than Total Power Exchange, this is Wow. A very well written story about Maia and Anders who have the kink of all kink, an owner/slave relationship that also includes role playing as an animal, in real-time. I have to admit, I wanted to dislike Anders, but I just couldn't. He was being himself throughout the relationship, was very honest and up front on his wants and needs, gave her opportunity to express her views and he gave Maia exactly what she wanted and needed. How can you not like him for it? It just so happens that Maia was also into some strange kink and she was the perfect match for Anders. I kept thinking, if they break up, both of them could never be happy because they would NEVER find their sexual match again. How could they go back to vanilla or a role playing lifestyle after this.

This was a very long story...very long. I kept waiting for the standard drama on when the end would be coming. Each humiliation, I kept thinking, she's going to end it. A very emotionally charged book that will stay on your mind for a while as you ponder about extreme TPE.

Feedback
At times it was a difficult read. When Anders was emailing, I had a hard time following who he was chatting with and the random topics they were chatting about. Some of it did not seem relevant to the story or scene. Also, some of the songs, things specific to being Danish, Canada...some of it was challenging to read.

Bottomline: Anneke Jacob is an excellent storyteller. I would read other books from her, but without the animal kink (just my preference).

As She Told Anneke Jacob 9781934349991 Books Reviews

As she is told is certainly the most controversial, but also the most disturbing book I have read this year. The book covers the fantasy of a lot of readers most male, some female about Total Power Exchange in a 24/7 relationship. The good thing about this book is that Anneke Jacob takes you slowly but inevitably step by step towards that relationship. Both from the dominant as from the submissive point of view.
And thus the reader ends with images that are well over its own limitations without putting the book down. The reviews of this book are as extreme as the contents of the book. That is understandable. If there is not a dominant or submissive bone in your body you only see what is on the surface. But below the surface Anneke Jacob shows a world that is up to and sometimes beyond your comfort zone.
Therefore I would like to recommend this book to all of those who are curious what is underneath the surface.
Ok, well done, but just not my thing. I found myself skipping over a lot of the narrative. The book came highly recommended by a long time friend who knows my interest in BDSM materials, but I lost interest and never finished the book. I can't provide anything more substantive than this, but I think the author provides a lot more of the "feelings" aspect than she does of the mechanics of what takes place. How to explain this? If you watch a film where there is lots of moaning and groaning and "thoughts" but little dialogue or visuals of what is going on, it can be boring. It's the difference between watching someone being bound and then knowing exactly how they are bound and why they can't get free as opposed to being just told they were "tied up." The need to write "touchy/feely" stuff is ok, but not for me.
Truthfully, I wasn't sure how I wanted to rate this book. I have also read Owned and Owner by Anneke Jacob and I found allot of similarities. Both are written intellectually, in the first person and both books are very disturbing on so many levels. I chose the rating based on keeping me captivated from beginning to end.

Be forewarned. This book is very a very graphic depiction of an intense BDSM relationship. As other viewers have written, both Anders and Maia found what they needed in each other. Anders need to own another human being as his slave and Maia's need to be owned. Maia expresses to Anders that she needs to be in a relationship where her choice is to have no choice at all. She wants to give him her total autonomy, completely submitting to his will. In this way she feels safe. Anders seems to understand this need. He locks her up in bondage gear while she goes to work in order to make her feel safe and connected to him and then in a crate at night, or chains to a stairwell. He even goes so far to program a GPS tracking device on her, as well as install webcams in the house. Thus, another way to control her behavior and not get outside his reach. He literally keeps her on a short leash.

What is interesting is that both Maia and Anders have discussions on how they are proceeding in their relationship. It is a slow development, to make her his fine tuned instrument. He would ask her feelings and then do whatever he wanted to with her anyway. That arrogance really annoyed me. He shared her with his close relatives and friends and made her wear a chastity belt, only allowing them the use of her mouth. She didn't want to perform for women but had no objections to the men.

Anders, as sadistic and perverse that he is did have concerns about STD's and other things that could harm his slave. What a paradox. On the one hand, his character was so anal (no pun intended) in his methodical pursuit of cleanliness and on the other hand, he left her unable to clean herself properly after using the litter box, while in a chastity belt. I still shudder and cringe at that one.....Yikes!!!!

While some others have felt this was a relationship based on love, I cannot believe that anyone would really want to give up their free will to become an object of someone else's affections. I am sarcastically using the word affection here. I don't define this as love. Anders wanted Maia in a state of lust. He wanted to make her whole life wondering if she would ever get to climax because he told her his needs were what was important and to keep her in a hyper sexual state kept her juicy for him. Lust is not love.
