FIFTY SHADES OF GREY If I didn’t already know FIFTY SHADES OF GREY started out as TWILIGHT fanfiction, I’d like to think I could decipher the code based on the myriad of similarities between the two novels. The following are a few examples (and by all means not a comprehensive list): a virgin main character; uber-successful parents on the boyfriend’s side; divorced parents, where the daughter lives with her father; a clumsy, melodramatic, younger than her years main character; a complete hatred
*****5 +++++ My Favorite Fictional Boyfriend EVER!!!! starsRe-read with Sharon, Patty & Mel)(My 5th read)I've always enjoy reading, since a young age but a few years ago when this amazing trilogy first came out and I read it, my reading habit exploded and I went from reading 10 books a year to 100 and more, turning me into a total reading addict. If I'm honest I have to say that the writing style of these books is not all that great but the story plot and the character of Christian Grey were not...

E.L. JAMES: ME:E.L.! HEY! High-five, giirrrrrl!Whoa. I missed.You'll probably want to ice that.Yeah! SO! I am so glad I ran into you! What a coincidence! This is only the fourth building I’ve tried, and I mean… I’ve only been riding the elevators for what, two? Three hours?E.L. JAMES: ME:You know what? DOESN’T matter.So listen… about the casting for the “Fifty Shades of Grey” movie? Yeah, I was just wondering if you received the six or seventeen audition tapes I sent over to all three of y...
EMOTION VS REASONFor a while I doubted myself, my opinion and my feelings about this series. In a way, that is why I couldn't bring myself to write a review about the Fifty Shades Trilogy. I really don’t like doubting myself. I don’t like that insecurity and unstable ground because there is a conflict between what society has made you learned, what you yourself have learned and what your subconscious is felling.I realized, in this case, to be at peace with myself I needed to separate mind and em...
Reading this novel was a bittersweet experience. I couldn’t get enough; I wanted to rush through this entire novel and absorb it all as quickly as possible. On the other hand, I wanted to take my sweet time and drag things out because I never wanted it to end. I’m devastated that this series wrapped up, and I have hopes (fingers crossed) that this won’t be the last we see of Christian Grey. I could read about Christian and Ana forever. (Christian may be the perfect man to star in a never-ending
It’s pretty hard to ignore all the hype and controversy surrounding E.L James’s FIFTY SHADES trilogy. Mind blowing how many people are talking about the books…since the 1st book, FIFTY SHADES OF GREY was released at the beginning of Apr 2012, it’s absolutely incredible the number of reviews I have seen. Amazon has almost 6000 posted reviews and probably twice as much on their discussion boards!!!!! I am an insatiable, voracious avid reader and over the years and the amount of reading I know what...
This trilogy really did not live up to the hype. It is poorly written and I struggled to get lost in the story or motivate myself to complete the books. The characters were very one dimensional and the plot of the story was extremely weak. There was so much repetition ie eye rolling, lip biting, blushing, twitchy palming that at times i wanted to throw the book out of the window. Ana going from an innocent level headed virgin to a needy sex maniac in the space of a few days was totally unbelieva...
**0.? stars**"'...I get the one no one's ever written in. Puked on, by the look of page fifty-two, but-'"-J.K.Rowling (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince)Okay. The covers really give you a sophisticated feeling, the kind of a neo-noir thriller. And I do see that as a betrayal. Why I didn't think of reading the synopsis from the back-cover beforehand still remains a mystery to me. Thank heavens I didn't spend anything on the books, except my time, which, though I procrastinate a lot, I still
