I did not like it at all. In fact, the only reason I am giving it two stars instead of one is the sex. Quite honestly I have never read anything quite that graphic before, so it was a new experience for me. <br><br>This book is very poorly written. There is hardly any plot to speak of; all emphasis is given to the hardcore sex. <i>Fifty Shades of Grey</i> reads like a piece of Twilight fan-fiction, start to finish. It feels as though Nicholas Sparks and Stephenie Meyer got together to write porn.<br><br>"But, Megan, why does this book read like Twilight?" you may ask. "There aren't any vampires!" you may exclaim. Allow me to explain. A young, plain woman, without any special abilities or features, without any life experience, becomes the object of desire by and older, extremely wealthy man who has ulterior motives. The male in this scenario struggles with his desire for the female because he doesn't want to hurt her (but really, he does), while the female just cannot possibly fathom what Mr. Rich-Super Sexy-Mysterious-Pursuer is hiding from her. Vampire? Sadist? Doesn't matter. As soon as the flaccid female character finds out what Mr. Rich-Super Sexy-Mysterious-Pursuer is hiding, she is remarkably OK with it. Sure, she struggles with it a bit, but ultimately she caves because he is Mr. Rich-Super Sexy-Mysterious-Pursuer! "You want to bite my neck and suck my blood so I can be your possession forever? OK!" "You want to beat the shit out of me for your own sexual gratification? OK!"<br><br>Really? How is this book not Twilight for adults? <br><br>Now, please allow me to share with you some of the dialogue from <i>Fifty Shades of Grey</i>: <br><br>“Laters, baby.” (Yes. Mr. Rich-Super Sexy-Mysterious-Pursuer, the powerful CEO of a major company, actually says this). <br><br>“'No, Anastasia it doesn’t. Firstly, I don’t make love. I fuck… hard. Secondly, there’s a lot more paperwork to do, and thirdly, you don’t yet know what you’re in for. You could still run for the hills. Come, I want to show you my playroom.' My mouth drops open. Fuck hard! Holy shit, that sounds so… hot."<br><br>"Jeez, he looks so freaking hot." (Really, E.L. James? This is the best you can do?)<br><br>“So you've just slept with him, given him your virginity, a man who doesn't love you. In fact, he has odd ideas about you, wants to make you some sort of kinky sex slave.” (How is this OK!?!?)<br><br>Personally, my own "inner goddess" was horrified while reading <i>Fifty Shades</i>. It actually made me squeamish. Why on earth are female authors creating weak female characters, then glorifying them? Is this really what we want the female youth of today to turn into? <br><br>Call me old fashioned, but I find much more sexual intrigue in books like <i>Jane Eyre</i> or <i>Lady Chatterly's Lover</i> where a slight glance, or a passing touch, contain more sexual tension than any quick act of hardcore sex. <span class="rating">( <img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/ss4.gif"> )</span></div><div id="rfd_275624568" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_275624568"> </span> </span><span class="reviewFlags"> <img id="rfi1_275624568" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"> <img id="rfi2_275624568" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"><span id="rfrf_275624568"> </span></span></span> <span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/bookjockeymeg" target="_top">bookjockeymeg</a> | Nov 21, 2024 | <a href="/review/275624568"><img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/permalink.gif" width="16" height="7"></a></span> </div></div></div><div class="bookReview"><div class="bookReview_content"><div id="brtext_275572604" class="commentText brslop"><div class="brev_cover"><a href="/work/11347028" data-workid="11347028" class="" ><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0345803485.01._SX100_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" srcset="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0345803485.01._SX200_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 2x, https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0345803485.01._SX300_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 3x" class="bookReview_cover cover" /></a></div><div class="commentHeader"></div>1.5 stars for Ana on page 351 and for every appearance of Kate.

I wanted to see for myself. I must admit that I was positively surprised. I liked the way the book was written, I liked the humor of the main character Ana. Yes, there were times when I could not understand why she did what she did, but that did not matter for me. The part if the bdsm was much less important than I thought. It played its role, but it was not the main thing of the book, in a way. Of course it is important, but it is more the underlying story that matters most. For me, the writer gave mea bonding with the characters and it is a real pageturner, I just wanted to keep reading.
