"When literature student Anastasia Steele is drafted to interview the
successful young entrepreneur Christian Grey for her campus magazine,
she finds him attractive, enigmatic and intimidating. Convinced their
meeting went badly, she tries to put Grey out of her mind - until he
happens to turn up at the out-of-town hardware store where she works
part-time. Erotic, amusing, and deeply moving, the Fifty Shades Trilogy
is a tale that will obsess you, possess you, and stay with you forever." (from Amazon.com)Jeanne's note: This doesn't fit any of our LitWits categories, but one person included it in their list. Whether or not you decide to read what is being referred to as "Mommy porn" or not, this should be interesting to discuss.
I had to read this book since everyone was talking about it. Not a genre I've ever read. I was surprised that the main characters were so young! I had heard that the writing was not good and I'll have to agree with that. I got annoyed with the repetition of 'Ana looks at her hands', 'Ana bites her lip', 'Ana rolls her eyes', those Inner Goddesses, calling each other by 'Miss Steele' and 'Mr.Grey'. I've read enough. Actually pretty eye-opening for me. I don't want to read the next 2 books, but I want someone to tell me how it all turns out!
