Okay, so I just started reading Fifty Shades of Grey, again for the twentieth time. (I love this trilogy.) I figured since it is a popular set of books that either people are praising or bashing, I would put into what I think. I will only discuss what I have read so far. (I'm on chapter 9)
The reason I love this trilogy so much isn't because of all the kinky stuff that happens in the book. What I really love is that the main character that this book follows, Anastasia Steele, is almost just like only a few years younger. Everything about her reminds me of myself, except for the fact that I have two children so my body isn't what it use to be. Although, the only difference about our physical image is that she has blue eyes and mine are hazel. Everything else from the brown hair to the clumsiness is me.
When you have a book you can relate to it makes all the better. It doesn't matter if it is poorly written. It doesn't matter that your life isn't quite the same as the character(s) in the book, I certainly did no marry some multi-billionaire. If I had I probably wouldn't be sharing this right now with you.
So just because E. L. James may have, in some peoples opinion, written her very first novel ever poorly, doesn't mean that people aren't going to like.
1. You have to have a taste for romance novel. (Which I do)
2. You have to have an open mind about BDSM. (It's not all bad. It is not consider rape as long as it is between 2 consenting adult. If you don't consent to it then it is considered rape. Ana did so get over it.)
3. Just because things don't sound right to you doesn't mean it isn't good for someone else.
Please stop judging those of us who choose to read what we like. It isn't a banned book. Personally, I don't know why a book should be banned in the first place. If it is about something that someone doesn't want the whole world knowing, then it is probably something that shouldn't have been done in the first place.
I am an avid reader. If it I read the synopsis and it sounds good, I'm going to buy that book just to read it.
I also enjoy this book because it makes me laugh. It may not be some comedian that wrote this, but the way it is described the way characters do thing, or the faces and thoughts they have makes me laugh. If a writer can write a book to keep me interested, I'm all for that.
Now that i have put my the first of my many two cents into this book, I must end it here for now. My house looks as if a tornado, known as my two kids, ripped through it. I must straighten up before my lovely daughter's teacher arrives for her weekly visit.
Thank you for reading. Leave comments if you would like. I will also take any ideas for books to read. Once again thank you.
