I HAVE NOT READ THIS SERIES. But I would like to express my opinions anyways. This book has become popularized in the past few years. Generally if a book is becoming popular I become interested and want to read it. Luckily, I am smart enough to look at the summaries of the novels first so I don't start reading another novel about vampires or werewolves and angst ridden teenage girls. This is what I read on Amazon about this book.
"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 and stay with you forever. The book is intended for mature audiences."
This was all I needed to convince myself that this would be an absolutely horrible book to read, and that this book is a pornographic novel masked as good fiction. It is actually sad to think how popular it has become.
I will never read this book and I would never allow a teenage girl to read it either. Grey seems like the anti-prince that beats Edward Cullen in creepiness. The book will "obsess, possess and stay with you forever." I guess the question you have to ask yourself is, "do you really want a book like this to stay in your thoughts forever?" I choose no.
