Okay Fifty Shades of Grey is officially the first book to induce vomiting. One word, tampon…Marinate on that people. This book would have been so much better if the author left some of the sex scenes out. We only need a few to emphasize what a crazy a** Christian is…Crazy and BDSM do not mix and its not sexy to me. I know we find out his story but I still could not empathize with him because the author made him one step from being bipolar. It's like she tried to romanticize a mental disorder which can be done, but she did it in a very un-cute way. (example crazy done right Vishous BDB) I will give Ana credit because she did have brief moments of this man is a hot a** mess and I should probably do something about it. She is one step shy of having battered wife syndrome. I can already see people using fifty shades as their new mantra to describe people with issues. In my best valley girl impersonation, "She is sooooo fifty shades," (smh thinking about it... it is kind of catchy?). Fifty overall is a good read( In a WTH kind of way) and it truly depends on personal taste as to if you will like this book. The plot is one I always enjoy, a tortured soul looking for redemption. Fifty is a trilogy( I think) I am assuming Christians fifty shades will begin to fade little by little because Ana began slowly chipping away at some of his rules throughout the book. So Fifty Shades is a twilight fanfict that got published? You can clearly see borrowed elements (scenes) from Twilight which I feel she could have easily left out and just used her own imagination to make the story move along. The plot works fine on its own…why give people a reason to accuse you of stealing someone else's work?
I didn't love or hate Fifty Shades of Grey. I will say I am curious to know how Christian and Ana's relationship will work out.
