This book is so well written and I liked it so much I still can't really gather myself and order my thoughts.

Mr. Benson must be one of the best novels I ever read. It's raw and offers a true insight of what BDSM really is about. With all these misconceptions around I really wanted to read something accurate, something that doesn't try to make BDSM look like what it's not. So when I came across Mr. Benson and read about John Preston I was already hooked.

I loved both Jamie and Mr. Benson, I loved the way their relationship progressed, how they got to a level of absolute trust and I really really liked all the things that were not in the book, the ones that were not explicitly told to us, but were left for us to pick up on.

While the book was written from Jamie's perspective, the epilogue told from Mr. Benson's point of view was a pleasant surprise. Everything fell much more in place then and I liked to see how Jamie and Mr. Benson perceived some of the same actions differently.

That being said, Mr. Benson is an outstanding read and I highly recommend it to anyone who might be interested.
