| Shades of Grey.... |
So I just finished the " Fifty Shades" trilogy and knowing that I am not the only one that has read it I wanted to get some oppinion on a few things.....
1. Do you think Ana was trying to change Christian, or just get him to see what she and all the others see in him?
2. As far as details.... could it have been more or less detailed when describing the sexual encounters?
3. For the Dom/Sub couples out there that have read it... How accurate is it to that life style?
4. Did it end the way that you expected it to? How would you like for it to have ended?
5. Do you think that a set of books will come out that will be based more from christian's point of view?
6. Non Dom/Sub couples.... do you think that you find your self wanting to explore that life style more?
7. How has it effected your sex life?
I ( and even my husband) have enjoyed the book and what pleasuers have come from it! |

| Actually, it was a twilight fan fiction that got reworked into a novel by removing the vampires... |

For that type and are surprised that its not like the book.
I just feel as though people that half ass talk about things/subjects/events/ect to people that know more about it then they do just come off as dumbasses that are too lazy to do the required research in learning about that topic. I also do not see how a lot of other novels even gay novels have been published with less sex descriptions and or scenes have been labeled as erotic but this? Nada.
I just don't see this book as being a Best seller but then again this is just my opinion, and I would suggest Stephen King did it with his book, “Gerald’s Game”, and Anne Rice did it with the Sleeping Beauty novels. These are two well known authors who have been writting a long time and have learned their subjects well enough to write about them. |

*Personal Opinion and some spoilers ahead*
Personally, I’d read the first few pages of Fifty Shades of Grey and already I was laughing. Laughing so hard it hurt. I have read my share of romances-erotica and such. But this..Was it a joke? Its like a dirtier version of Twilight, with little to hang on to.
Basically the plot is as follows. Anastasia is a naive, innocent – but breathtakingly beautiful - college grad who has made her way through college without ever having kissed a man or EVER being drunk. These two – quite frankly unbelievable – facts set the scene for the ludicrous events to come. How and the hell can you be that beautiful but not have experienced anything? Either she is a hugh cock tease or she lives on a really high hill-but that is neither here nor there and is my opinion. Your in college, your going to have to do something wild even if it is just a damn kiss.
Within about three pages and one date he has “taken her”, shown her round his S&M dungeon, handed her a contract to be his Submissive AND they’re discussing safe words, hard and soft limits, whips and punishments AS THOUGH ALL THIS WERE PERFECTLY NORMAL for an innocent 21 year old virgin. *tsk
I felt like the book was written by a teenage girl. You know the way a teenage girl talks? Well, that’s how the narrator talks throughout this entire book. She blushes, flushes, and is embarrassed so much that it's pretty much ALL she does. So repetitive and completely unnecessary. She also loves the phrases crap, holy crap, double crap, triple crap, oh shit and holy shit. And again goes on to say these words and phrases over and over and over. If you take out all of that from the story your down to like 30 pages of a still unapealling plot.
There is an assumption that the reason he’s kinky is because he is damaged, because he had a rough childhood. Which in reality people in that lifestyle are not even damaged and that is a bad image that is being protrayed. As for as the character chris might reflect a widespread belief that BDSM relationships are inherently abusive. In result it might even confuse people that link BDSM with sexual sadism, which again is not true. No one in the BDSM community would go near such an individual (chris), as it's not remotely a setup for a healthy relationship of any kind. That's what bothers me about the books more than the bad writing - the suggestion that people who enjoy dominating others and/or inflicting pain do so because they are psychologically damaged. My Dominant is one of the most loving and emotionally grounded people I know, and he is disgusted by the portrayal of BDSM set forth in these books.
I do not believe nor have a heard of any experienced Dom ever just picking an unexperienced (in the lifestyle or even sex) Sub, out of the blue and I wouldn’t give a contract to someone so inexperienced — it would be irresponsible!
Now for a woman or a couple that are just exploring and know nothing of the lifestyle and just want to spice things up-If you want to spend the money you read it but its not really worth the buy in my opinion and I could not get past the first book. I find her words are very basic and her descriptions are left to the imagination. I have read very good well written novels where you could pratically taste the sex, I could not even tell the flavor here.
For people that have not tried it and are looking to try this type of excitement I would recommend they learn more and do their research considering this book is fairly fictional and does not state many facts.
I do not want to come off as bashing the author and I'm glad that you posted this, because many women have read it and think that Dom/Sub relations are exactly like that and they go looking fo |
