Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James
4.0
SYNOPSIS:
Fifty Shades was originally written as a fan fiction of twilight, when I found this out I was intrigued but it wasn't until my mother in law recommended it that I actually picked it up. It tells the story of Anastasia Steele, a young woman fresh out of college who interviews Christian Grey, a rich billionaire and CEO of Grey Enterprises. Anastasia has never been attracted to a man until she lays eye's upon the beautiful Christian Grey. He returns his feelings and pretty soon Anastasia finds himself in his apartment where Christian has a secret, a secret that may be a little to much for Anastasia to handle...
REVIEW:
Fifty shades of grey is fifty shades of naughty! The first day when I picked it up I read quite a lot but then when it came time to all the err... sexual activity it became a bit unbearable and there were times when I had to put the book down... for a few days. It started to feel more like a porno then a romance novel. The other thing that bothered me a bit was how Anastasia had never found a man attractive, a woman of 22 years of age. Of course its not impossible but it is highly unlikely to happen in real life so it made that story a little unrealistic. Other than that it was a great read and tells a great story which is why I give fifty shades of grey 4 out of 5 stars. (I would have given it 3 1/2 but there are no halves here =(
AGE RATING AND RECOMMENDED TO:
Obviously this book is for mature audiences only. I recommend this book to those that like to read fan fiction and to those that read penthouse books (hahaha)
