Synopsis:
When literature student Anastasia Steele goes to interview young entrepreneur Christian Grey, she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly, innocent Ana is startled to realize she wants this man and, despite his enigmatic reserve, finds she is desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Ana’s quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her, too—but on his own terms.
Shocked yet thrilled by Grey’s singular erotic tastes, Ana hesitates. For all the trappings of success—his multinational businesses, his vast wealth, his loving family—Grey is a man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control. When the couple embarks on a daring, passionately physical affair, Ana discovers Christian Grey’s secrets and explores her own dark desires.
Erotic, amusing, and deeply moving, the Fifty Shades Trilogy is a tale that will obsess you, possess you, and stay with you forever.
This book is intended for mature audiences.
Review:
Ok, I have to be honest, I held off reading this book as long as I could. Everyone was reading it, I mean everyone, and it was just a rebellious streak in me that refused to. Then one day it showed up in my Kindle Cloud (I have a cloud that I share with a few others) and I gave in.
For the sake of honesty, I have to say that I almost stopped reading it after the first couple of chapters. None of the "fun" stuff had happened yet to make the book appealing and the writing seemed like the work of an 9th grader barely passing Language Arts. Alas, I read on to get to the "fun" part and I don't know if I just got used to it, but the writing seemed to get better as the steam started rising.
As for the the steam...eh, it was pretty steamy, but not near what I thought it was going to be with all the hype this book got. Yes, I think Christian seems pretty yummy, I mean who doesn't love a well built billionaire? Ana kind of annoyed me, but I wish her well and hope she is less whiny in the next book.
Should you buy and read this book? If you are offended by poor grammar and steamy sex scenes...No. If you can put up with high school level writing and like fun and kinky sex scenes, by all means...Yes. It reminds me of sugar cookies, you know you shouldn't eat them but you still want them and eat them anyways.
Intended Audience: Mature, 18+ due to erotic sexual scenes.
