This is coming from my phone so I apologize for the lack of prettiness. I'm sure most of you have heard of the popular book series 50 Shades of Grey. Like every woman out there, I too had interest in the dominat/submissive twist the trilogy offered. The books became harder to read the more Anastasia and Christian fell in love (for me personally.) Here's some complaints I had:
**Spoiler Alert!
1. First off, I think most people are unaware of where the book and story came from. It was originally on a fan site for Twilight with the characters beings Edward and Bella. There was concern with the sexual material so James (author of 50 Shades) put it on her own website. I hate that it was based off these two characters. It made the love story and the obsession in the book almost exactly like the Twilight series.
2. The Back Stories: I think James had some really good back story ideas. I love that Elena plays a part and I really enjoyed the drama and suspense Lelia brought. But I feel like I want more. I want to know why Lelia has gone off the deep end (mind you I've only gotten through the second book, so this point may be invalid.)
3. Been There, Done That: now I like the Dom/sub think James has going on in these books. What I'm really tired of is the average girl who is down on herself getting the Greek God of a man who thinks she makes the world turn. How many times have we seen this? It's not so much that the average girl gets the handsome, rich, sex crazed CEO but how unrealistic it is that he would put up with all her bullshit. I just wish James would have stuck with the Dom/sub plot a little bit more.
So there you have it, my two sense on 50 Shades Trilogy. If you want to read these books, I found the 2nd and 3rd books at Costco for 9.99 each. The first one may be a little bit harder to find in stores but chances are one of your female family members or friends probably has it.
Have a 50 Shade day,
