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 you, and stay with you forever.
My thoughts: O.K.
I’ve finally read this book, but as everybody read it already or know the
story, I won’t do the traditional and do my “synopsis” of the book. I read the
trilogy firstly because of my friend that kept telling me that I should read
it, that Christian Grey was a hot man and all and secondly because I was really
curious to know what was all the fuss about. I’m going to write about the three
books here.
When
I was reading the first book, what really caught my eyes was the plot. The
whole BDSM scenario was very unique and gave space for women to talk freely about
what they liked in bed and so. But the bad language of Mr. Grey and the stupidity
of Ana really got on my nerves! How can she trust a man that tracks her down
wherever she is, controls her and she just goes with the flow?! “Obviously
because he is rich and beautiful and a god in bed.” PLEASE! I had to stand the
whole reading until I finally got used to the bad language. If he wasn’t rich,
would you at least look at him? The only part that I agree is with the bed
part. He really seems to nail that down. The end was quite surprising because I
didn’t think that Ana would do what she did, but SHE ASKED HIM TO DO IT! For
god’s sake, if he told her that it was better not, and he’s a pro in it, then
LEAVE IT ALONE!
The
second book, I wanted to slap Ana across the face. She COULDN’T stay two pages
without telling that she loved him and would give her life for him. OKAY, I get
it, next! I grew very tired of all that thing. What really liked was that we
finally understood why Christian was like that: his past was very dark, twisted
and quite sick, in my opinion. Imagine his mom when screwing with other women?!
That explains why he goes to the therapist A LOT. He gets cute in that one.
That was the beginning of me liking the character.
Last,
but not least, the last book. I’ll have to admit it: I JUST COULDN’T FINISH.
There I said it. She is just so dump that I just couldn’t read it, despite the fact that Christian was becoming cuter and cuter. My friend
wanted to kill me. (LOL) What made me give up: the fact the book had to be
ENHANCED in other languages in order to be sold in book shops. I met a
Brazilian girl that told me that she could read it in English perfectly despite
the fact that she has a very Basic knowledge in the language. I was like
“WHAT?!” Then I found out – actually it was in the middle of the first book –
that the author made the book based in the Twilight series. Ok, I liked the
series, but couldn’t she be a little more authentic?!? The only thing authentic
in that s*** was the plot about mature content!
Well,
I have to say that I’m kind of disappointed with all that. I mean, there are SO
many great books all around the globe, but only this kind of novels get to the
level of becoming movies. I REALLY hope that they make a good movie. It’s the
least they can do right now. Let’s pray that they choose a good screenwriter
and cast to make it at LEAST worth it.
