- How kinky?
Well, it's about power exchange within BDSM relationships. So there's an assumed amount of kink there. The book itself is mostly about rules and discipline (surprise, surprise), so I suppose it depends on what you define as kinky.
- How sexy?
This one isn't, because it's more or less a self-help book. That in no way diminishes its brilliance.
- How informative?
Very. This is where we really get going. This book is AMAZING. I have been in the lifestyle for over ten years and I learned a lot from this book. Not that I'm the most knowledgable player on the block - I might be somewhere in the middle? - but this book has so much to teach those of us who have a tendency to think, Maybe I know this stuff already. Nope! And even if you do, it never hurts to refresh the basic lessons - humility, dignity, self-improvement.
- How engaging?
Very. I read parts of it while at work, and hated to have to put it down again! The quality of the info and the standard of the writing really make you want to know what topics are going to be covered next, and what the author has to say about them. Even her phrasing made me think of things in a new light - I highlighted quite a few passages in this book for later review.
- How well executed?
Brilliant. As I mentioned, the quality of this book is really high. The author is clearly very intelligent, and knows her stuff - even if just through her own experiences. The University of Life is more important than any degree, and this author shows us that experience, and mistakes, are some of the best teachers for this lifestyle.
- Overall reaction
Fantastic. I have added it to my Key Kit, as I believe it is a seminal text in its niche. If you have any interest in discipline as a lifestyle, from any perspective, read this. It's wonderful.

I liked this author's perspective. She is submissive to one, dominant to another, which gives her a fairly thorough understanding of the dynamics at play. She is sensible, thoughtful, and reflective, and her take on discipline and rules made a lot of sense to this reader.
Well done.
Well done.

DISCPLINE is an excellent read for anyone practicing any level of BDSM. Lily uses her real life experience to help the reader learn what works and what doesn't. Not only does this allow you to see discipline at work in a dynamic, but her stories are hot as hell! A recommended read for anyone in a D/s relationship, whether you are looking to add discipline or looking to tweak your experience.
