This book has been featuring on top of the bestseller list for a couple of weeks now and I just could not resist reading it. Fifty Shades of Grey is the first book of a trilogy. It is a lifetime dream come true for the author E.L. James, from the United Kingdom, she has been dreaming of becoming an author that would write stories that people would love. After initially focusing on her family and career, she finally.
Decided it was time to write that story she has always wanted to tell. The story begins with a young 21-year-old student Anastasia Steele who is studying literature and is commissioned to interview a young billionaire, Christian Grey. She is overwhelmed by how handsome Christian is in person. She also adores his brilliance and how he intimidates her. She can not help wanting to get closer and closer to this man even though he tends to be very reserved. Surprisingly enough, her wit, spirit, and looks also make him irresistibly attracted to her. Christian wants Anastasia too, however, he has his own unique terms. Like Anastasia, I was really shocked, when I read his terms. I too would have hesitated, if I found myself in this position. As you continue to read you will start to get the feeling that Christians the environment has made him a man who is what is often called a control freak. The book takes us through a very explicit journey through their life. Despite all this, it seems that through all the abuse, Ana is able to discover deep secrets about the man of her desires, as well as of herself. I do admit this is definitely not a masterpiece of literature. The writing leaves a lot to be desired but it has a very high entertainment value. Anastasia also does not like the nature of her relationship with him. Christian, on the other hand, does not really want to open up to Ana, as he has a lot of skeletons in his closet. This first book only gives us a glimpse of what these could be. The story line is tailor-made for teenage girls, and that may explain the very simple language that she used in the book. Overall, Fifty Shades Of Grey has mystery, humor and is deeply moving. There were sections that made me blush, but I kept reading. It is very addictive and an easy book to read. Accompany Anastasia on a ride of a lifetime. Don't over think the story, just enjoy the fantasy.
