Review on Fifty Shades of Grey

Hello again. Hah. Well, I took the time to read a book in a day and half. I think we all know what it is and yes, it's the hype book of the year- the book everyone talks about- Fifty Shades of Grey.


Summary of the book:

When literature student, Anastasia Steele interviews successful entrepreneur Christian Grey, she finds him very attractive and deeply intimidating. Convinced that their meeting went badly, she tries to put him out of her mind- until he turns up at the store where she works part-time, and invites her out.

Unworldly and innocent, Ana is shocked to find she wants this man. And, when he warns her to keep her distance, it only makes her want him more. But Grey is tormented by inner demons, and consumed by the need to control. As they embark on a passionate love affair. Ana discovers more about her own desires, as well as the dark secrets Grey keeps hidden away from public view.

My thoughts on it?

Haha, where should I even start? Well I was warned by many of my friends about this book to be honest. I do admit it's very sexy and erotic at the same time (not enough to actually arouse me, oh my) I think the plot sort of eases the erotic-ness a little. Some say it's the erotic version of Twilight which I kindda agree in that sense though Christian Grey beats the shit out of Edward Cullen hands down. I have a problem when it comes to female characters and Ana is seriously one fucked up virgin. I mean, I really didn't like her role in this book. At times, I find myself feeling the urge to slap her rather than indulging in the steamy scenes as far as it goes. In this case, I would say the author portrayed her inexperience nature quite well. I might have to say I am just bias about this but I am guessing that's just how the author described her. I can't give away too much for those who haven't read it yet. 

The plot seems a little enigmatic to be honest. The ending was rather quite abrupt and fucked but I like that. I mean it just pulls in the reader into wanting to know more about the next part of the book. That, I give a thumbs up. Christian Grey is definitely a dark, erotic and enigmatic character of a man. Control freak of a nature I say. Again, I won't say too much but this is all I can give.

Overall to rate the book? Hmm. I give it a 6.5 to 7 out of 10? 

Maybe I am just not accustomed to read such mature and erotic books yet but so far, this seems quite promising so far. Again, I say. This book definitely is Twilight Porn.
