I didn't like the sound of it but I also didn't want to miss out, so against my better judgement I read 50 Shades of Grey while I was on holiday.
Here's my honest review (without giving away the 'story').
I did not like it. I didn't like Ana - she seemed so weak and naive. I did not get the appeal of Christian - not description, personality or sexuality. I thought Ana's friend was the worse friend in the world for letting herself get into the situation (and the fact that she only had one friend was weird). I didn't think much happened in the story (other than lots of sex). I didn't find the sex enjoyable or pleasurable. At no point did I want to be Ana (and quite frankly I don't get why everyone on Facebook, or in the supermarket, or on their sun loungers, or on the bus wants to be in Ana's situation -at all!)
And don't even get me started on the writing. I keep finding myself about to say 'holy crap' before regaining my sanity just in time to stop myself. And teamed with all that talk of my inner goddess it makes me want to throw up. But the absolute worst offender is using the term 'my sex' instead of vagina (or any other words for lady parts). This is a girl who is happy to take part in all sorts of kinky sex acts but can't talk about it (even as an inner monologue)... Hmmm that makes a lot of sense - not!
Anyway rant over I just had to vent - thanks for listening.
Oh and one more thing... I don't want to read any more but I have a compulsion to finish what I start so do I read books two and three?
