Fifty Shades of Grey
(Fifty Shades #1)
by E.L. James
"When literature student
Anastasia Steele goes to interview young entrepreneur Christian Grey,
she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The
unworldly, innocent Ana is startled to realize she wants this man and,
despite his enigmatic reserve, finds she is desperate to get close to
him. Unable to resist Ana’s quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit,
Grey admits he wants her, too—but on his own terms.
Shocked yet thrilled by Grey’s singular erotic tastes, Ana hesitates. For all the trappings of success—his multinational businesses, his vast wealth, his loving family—Grey is a man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control. When the couple embarks on a daring, passionately physical affair, Ana discovers Christian Grey’s secrets and explores her own dark desires.
Erotic, amusing, and deeply moving, the Fifty Shades Trilogy is a tale that will obsess you, possess you, and stay with you forever.
This book is intended for mature audiences."

Recently, this book has attracted much attention on my country. I even saw one of my teachers on the news buying one and talking about it!
However the reviews I read were not conclusive. Some people love it and others hate it:

-"Wow. Wow, wow, wow. I still feel somewhat under the spell of this book. I'm so ... beguiled by it ;-) (book allusion). It was honestly an amazing read - and one
which I meant to just skim a few sample pages of, but ended up buying
and then staying up the entire night to finish."
-"This book was unbelievably horrible. I mean, really. I hated this book.This
was a poorly written, utterly ridiculous, never ending mess as a fan
fiction. The writing
is insipid and juvenile. The characters are static, one dimensional,
and unbelievably vacuous"
Probably I won't give this a try...
Tja, die Geschmäcker sind verschieden und das ist wohl auch gut so...

What teacher did you see buying this book? One I know? xD
ReplyDeleteMy mother bought it so I'm planning on reading it so I too can have an opinion about it. Though I've already read a little bit and I have to agree that the writing is not good, like in Twilight
not my type of book.
