50 Shades of Grey by E L James

50 shades of grey is a very controversial book. I had not even heard of it till I found it on Goodreads and thought it sounded good. Then my sister made the comment of how she is reading it and how it was pretty steamy. Now my sister who hasn't read a book in 2 years and the fact she is excited to read the series got me wanting to read it. Then the next day I heard on the radio how they wanted to pull the book of the shelves because of the smut. Well after that I had to rush home and order it off of Amazon. Honestly after reading it I don't know what the big fuss is about.


Anastasia Steele is getting ready to graduate college in Vancouver, Washington. She is a virgin who has never touch her self or really has even had a real boyfriend.  Her bestfriend/roommate needs her to go interview some billionaire. Enter Christian Grey. Grey is so good looking that everyone women seems to want him. Yet he has dark secrets that very few people know about. 


Grey's dark secrets is he is in to bondage,dominance and submission. Sorry if I am ruining the book for you guys but that is all it is about. There is more sex in this book then actual story lines. What story line that is in the book I do like. Ana is funny and stubborn. Sometimes I want to kick her in the butt with some choices she makes but she is still learning. Greys character is as he says "fifty shades fucked up." What the reader gets to learn in this book about him, I would agree. That is one of the main things that will keep me going to read the other two books. I wanna know more about Grey's past.  I also like the fact once again the book is in my home area of portland/vancouver and even Seattle. I don't think the author did as horrible right as some people have been posting. I also do not think it's a five star book.   People have over reacted to this book. I don't see why they want to pull this book off the shelves. There are worse movies and books out there on the shelves. I think people need a book to over react with. If you want a book with lots of sex then this is your book. I think if it had a little more story with a little less sex the book would be better. As it is I give it a C-
