Fifty Shades of Grey
Fifty Shades Trilogy Book One
By E.L. James
Anastasia has never found a man who
has interested her enough to even go on a date with until she meets highly
successful young entrepreneur Christian Grey, and immediately she is lost in
his dark eyes. But Christian has a dark secret, domination. As Ana soon
discovers there is more to this man than just his vast fortune she finds
herself falling in love with him but can Ana come to terms with his eccentric
desires?
I was a little weary to read this
book I had some vague idea it would just be dominatrix sex and though
interesting I love there to be a good story line. I was surprised to realize
this was actually a fun book full of witty commentary from Ana’s Subconscious
and Inner Goddess I found myself giggling. Though I must say there were a
couple of scenes I could have lived without, but E.L. James did a wonderful job
writing this novel the romance was strong and the obstacle they must face is
believable and intriguing. This book reads like a young adult novel though it
is certainly not for the faint of heart. I kept thinking to myself “It’s an
erotic, modern day, more realistic version of Beauty and the Beast.” I am
certainly curious enough to see what happens next.
Nice review! This seems to be the current book trend happening right now...guess I should pick it up anf find out what the craze is all about.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I was curious too it's been on the NY Times Bestseller list for a while now, I still don't see all the fuss but it's not as bad as I thought it would be lol.
DeleteI liked this book better than the first one. I was told that there was more plot. Which there is, but don't think there will be any less sexing it up. It just gets more "involved." At times, still repetitive like the first book.
ReplyDeleteA lot more is revealed about Christian, so we get to understand his character more. This makes him more likeable in some ways. We also learn the gravity of his emotional state.
I titled this internal conflict because we are reading it from Ana's point of view. I actually felt conflicted about the whole relationship, which is what kept me reading. Can he ever be "cured", does he even have a chance at having a normal relationship, could you ever trust him with a child, is he going to miss the stuff she can't handle??? We just don't know. All Ana's insecurities are brought to life in the middle of the book. At one point, it was so powerful I felt like I got punched in the gut. But every good story has hope.
Actually this is the first book I have started to read the second one, but was side tracked by RL :D
