MORE THAN 150 MILLION COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDE

When literature student Anastasia Steele interviews successful entrepreneur Christian Grey, she finds him very attractive and deeply intimidating. Convinced that their meeting went badly, she tries to put him out of her mind - until he turns up at the store where she works part-time, and invites her out.

Unworldly and innocent, Ana is shocked to find she wants this man. And, when he warns her to keep her distance, it only makes her want him more.

As they embark on a passionate love affair, Ana discovers more about her own desires, as well as the dark secrets Christian keeps hidden away from public view. . .

I cannot believe that it's possible for a 21 to 22 year old woman could have been so sheltered. Especially in this day and era. This book is a Harlequin Mills and Boon series book crossed with BDSM only the author rehashes the same problems. The author is naive about sex. It's common enough to play in the bedroom with toys gags etc. A normal 22 year old knows what spanking is. If they make a movie better make it one, there's not enought substantial content for three.

There will always be an audience for ponographic material, one just needs a pornograph to play it on, and this is usually the sexual obsessive personality's mind. I am not a prude, look for my Book when it comes out in the next few weeks, but gratuitous anything is very boring. EL James will probably make a motza, and this is more pornographic than the book itself. How that will be done it I do not know, I have yet to meet anyone that gives a positive view.

I picked up the book to see what the fuss was about, and regretted it almost immediately. The writing is atrocious and repetitive, the characters are 2d, and the sex scenes that have had women raving about were so dull that I skipped most of them in an attempt to find some of plot. The plot itself, if you take out the never ending sex scenes, you could fit on the back of a cereal box. Seriously, if you like books and literature don't waste your money on this trash!
