After hearing all the hype about Fifity Shades of Gray, I admit, I succumbed to peer pressure and read it. I was a little embarassed to say I was going to read it, so, I downloaded it on my eReader (see, they are good for something). All the stories about the "Graybies" (babies born about 9 months after the book came out I believe) my curosity got the best of me. Friends told me the book was, for lack of a better term, hot. Hmm...
Well, it is a very good and interesting story. Anastasia Steele, soon to be college graduate, fills in for her friend and interviews Christian Gray for the school newspapaer. Ana is nervous and when she meets Christian, she gets worse. However, with all the awkwardness, Christian is attracted to her.
In what I would say is a bit stalker like, Christian becomes a little (lot) obsessed with Ana. She is young and naieve, he is young, handsome and rich and well...next thing you know she is in bed with him. And in the elevator, and in his special playroom.... I can't say that the book is making me all hot and bothered. I don't have much attraction any of the...activities that Christian has planned for Ana. I don't find spanking or being tied up and almost asphixiated erotic in the least, but it was entertaining.
I am currently reading the last book in the triology, but ONLY because there is another story line in there that I would like to know the ending. I can definitely see the attraction to the books. Christian is rich and he is generous. What woman wouldn't want to be swept away? These books are a little like Danielle Steele meets Zane. Good reading......
