Fifty Shades of Grey

Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was suggested to me by the person at the bookshop. It was strange because she said it was new and hot, but i had never heard of it before. While i found the character of Christian Grey quite intriguing, the character of Ana was very weak. When i started reading the book there was no mention of her age, so i thought that she was a young 18 year old woman at the most. When it was revealed that she was 21 I was shocked. Her language was very mature but the things she had and had not experienced were unbelieveable. Sure there some people that don't have sex before they are 21 but in this day and age i found it a little unreal.For the most part i enjoyed reading the book but when there was 100 pages left the story really fell to pieces. I found the last 100 pages very daunting and i was thinking, "Come on, ANA, like for real?" As the book continued it was like her character became more ridiculous as it went along. Then the ending even though it was kind of expected Ana acted like a total retard. She loves the guy but doesn't love the BDSM he participates in. After the belting experience not only would i be running for the hills but i would be screaming FUCK YOU. So sure for 414 pages the book was great the last 100 not so much. I am probably going to get the next one though since i want to know what Ana does. Is Grey really out of the picture? My guess is probably not, he just won't go to great lengths with the BDSM with Ana. We'll have to see though............
