Fifty Shades

Christian Grey does not exist.

Sadly.

Or Fortunately.

I don't know which.

Have you read Fifty Shades of Grey, Darker, or Freed? Brace yourselves. It's a whirlwind. I had heard about the book, I don't even remember where now, and I knew the content was rather dirty, to put it mildly.

Here are my thoughts:

This book is very much so like Twilight in that

• We have this young, inexperienced female character who falls in love with the insanely gorgeous, insanely rich man who falls in love with her after battling demons of his own and discovering that he can't live without her, to the point where he gives up his dark, kinky ways (almost).
• This man is insanely protective of her to the point of extreme suffocation and overbearingness and she willingly allows him to be this way, considering herself in the wrong when she "disobeys" him
• He wants to share his wealth this her, and whisk her away to all these amazing places and adorn her with lavish gifts- cars, jewelry, clothes, houses, her own business, etc

This book has a great story, despite the Twilight-y feel, if you can get past the constant "love-making"

• It got to the point where I was skipping pages at a time because these scenes are sooo numerous

So, what it boils down to is, if you look past the Twilight-inspired characters and the ridiculous amounts of bedroom activity, the story that surrounds these two characters is really very good, and I do recommend this book to others. :)
