“Amazing Reading”

I must admit that I have seen your book around for a while and many of my friends have read it and raved about it but I didn’t even give you a look until this week but I am so glad I did. I see that your story is classified as erotica but I’m afraid I do not agree with this and I would class it as romance. Yes there is BDSM in your story and very hot scenes of you and Miss Steele but for me it is a love story. I have read a couple of erotica books before and they are nothing like yours. Unlike the others, which seemed to be just about sex, your book has a plot and a story that needs telling. Have you ever read a book Mr Grey and wished that you had written it and that it was your words on the page? Well that is how I feel about this book, I absolutely love it. I love the authors words and style of writing, it has bewitched me. Could this be the best book that I have ever read? You know what, I think it could be. This book has completely taken over my life, a first for me I must say. I have even listened to Spem In Alium by Thomas Tallis this morning. You know, the music you make Ana listen to when you…well I won’t go into that here.I need to go now and give my life away to you again in book 2 Fifty Shades Darker. I hope I find out more about you Sir and why you are fifty shades of f**ked up. So until next time Mr Grey I bid you farewell.

50 Shades of Grey supposedly started off as fan fiction, based on the Twilight series. While James had every opportunity to create a stronger, more emotionally developed protagonist, she created a world to which the boundaries of sexual delinquency, love, and relationships are blurred beyond distinction. While Twilight is flawed in its writing style, at least the story line paints a picture of loving and committed relationships – something that is completely butchered in 50 Shades of Grey. Being the curious little bird that I am, I will keep reading and will drink again to a wicked storyline that had me flushing crimson on the subway – fingers crossed it isn’t a disappointment, but at least I know what to expect.

I’m happy that i started my book reading journey with 50 shades of grey. Mark my words this book is addictive. Right now i have just finished reading 5 chapters but each line & each sentence in this book is written properly/the way it should be. So i have decided to first finish book & then watch movie because in movie scenes are not as great as book plus fast & not well directed( i have seen some scene of movie while reading this book)

Could have been a very well written Love story if the other …umm…. elements were not so over the top. those could well have been avoided or rather toned down….Great entertainment value even if no literary acclaim. I would pick up a great story any day rather a literary acclaimed one that bores the death out of me and have to leave it after a few to hundred pages. Loved the central characters.. Steele – Grey – heady combination! The pull, the denial, the anguish, are so very well depicted in simple lucid everyday language; no wonder it has found the impressive readership around the world.Immediately bought the other 2 in the series to complete the trilogy in one go. Finished reading all 3 before writing review for each of them

The novel, fifty shades of grey, by EL James is somewhat hard to describe. The writing is good although verbose. Reading the book was like watching a high class blue movie. Descriptions occasionally goes all over. I did not like the book, not because it describes kinky sex in graphic details, but the way it is written.I often felt it is meant for perverts. Regret, I cannot recommend it to anyone.
