5.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting book, March 28, 2005
This review is from: Troubles of Janice 2 (Pt. 2) (Paperback)
Colored adult graphic novel.
The first Janice book (not included) involved a twenty-two year-old Janice, who was in prison for life for the crime of abortion. One day she was informed, by the Prison Governor, that an experimental change in the law is taking place. Janice left prison with a gentleman, Viscount Vauxhall who will "rehabilitate" her. Viscount Vauxhall whips her, brands her, plays with her at orgy parties.
In this sequel, the story date is still 1766, and Janice is still in England under the control of Viscount Vauxhall.
In this second tale, Janice finds herself at an orgy party, but wearing a chastity belt. She is there to give pleasure, not to receive it. Later she is set up with a Lord Mitchcombe to become his wife (and one of the few times where the women in public are fully clothed). They marry, but all is not well.
A local reverend takes advantage of Janice, the husband finds out, and Janice, the victim, is seen as the evil one. Janice's past is revealed, and the husband treats her harshly. He sends her with the reverend back to the viscount for some adjustments (the viscount's brand V is adjusted to an M; among other things). Janice returns to her husband, who "rents" her out. Her old lover turns up . . .
Interesting clothing. The women tend to go about in public wearing long dresses and with their breasts either exposed or just barely covered.
The drawing is good; the branding is censored (along with some other odd choices). Much bondage, whipping, punishment, branding, sexual activity, and dominance.
The plot is strong, and a certain amount of work went into including hints that Janice is actually in 1766. Overall, a good story.

This review is from: Troubles of Janice 2 (Pt. 2) (Paperback)
The drawings are great and the story line is solid. If your into BDSM and graphic novels I think you'll like this one, I certainly did.
