Book Review: Fifty Shades

Wow! I finished the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy Sunday night and it was A-MAZ-ING! 

It sort of reminded me of a modern day Pretty Woman but with more details and way steamier.

I was kicking myself when I first started reading these books because I saw them months ago on Amazon when I was online spending some Kindle gift cards. I read the cover and thought they sounded ok but I wasn’t sure about the author and I hated to waste my money when I could by books that I knew were sure things. So off I go without them in my basket and then around a month ago I saw HERE were CMae did a book review on the first book and was just raving about it. 

Well by this point I had forgotten about them but the world hadn’t, apparently they Fifty Shades trend was sweeping the nation and the books have been hot topics on talk shows, magazines, and morning news programs. 

I immediately kicked myself because once again I’m BEHIND on a trend and one that I could have been way ahead of the curve on. 

DANG!!!!

Next, time I will for sure follow my gut instinct when it comes to book buying. Hahaha

Since my self-induced butt kicking I have bought and read all three books and have told everyone and anyone who would listen about them and how they are so awesome and how they need to run out and get themselves all three.... NOW! T

he two main characters: Christian Grey, I believe is like so many men…maybe not with all the deep seated anger and self hate but for sure when the opening up and distance they put between themselves and ones that they could be vulnerable with. And Ana, well she just an innocent 21 year old girl who is looking for nothing really but finds everything.

And for anyone who isn't ready for porn crammed into pages between to covers these books aren't for you!

Book 1 synopsis provided by Amazon

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.
