I was at a park when one of the mommies from
the play date mentioned '50 shades of grey'. She said it was what all her girls
were reading. And also, that the only reason she stopped reading it at about 2
am was when she had realized that she needed to pee.
What was the book about? S&M, yep,
sadomasochism.
I knew I had to read it and I did.
It's about this young inexperienced college graduate Anastasia
Steele, who falls for Christian Grey, a handsome beyond belief mysterious business
tycoon. Besides the fact that he could fly planes, indulged in adventure
sports, had diverse taste in music and did everything big, he had an A+ where
bedroom skills were concerned. Rightly described as an erotic novel, the words
just didn't have the magic to captivate me. So yeah, she falls hard
for her disappointing love interest--this book did nothing to me.
I hadn't falled for Christian Grey like I
did for Edward. I completed the Twilight series in 5 days, and I
wanted to be Bella. I hoped and prayed for someone like Edward to come into my
life. I was excited about visiting my sister in Seattle, because Edward lived
in Forks, a small place near Seattle.
Nothing, was what I felt during the read.
I couldn't wait to finish this book since I didn't want
this book to join the list of books I got started with and never got around to
finishing. So, seven days and I am done and I hated the read.
Nothing gained and a lot of time wasted.
If you are deprived, this book might be able to help you but
otherwise it's just someone's fantasy which doesn't deserve to be made a book
about. The sales of the book is probably a result of curiosity when it comes to
the topic of S&M. After all, it is what led me to purchase this book. I
just have the e-book and man, am I glad I didn't buy a hard copy. And no, its
not mommy porn like most websites call it.
The only thing creative about this story are the last names of the
characters--Grey and Steele--both shades of grey! hah.
