Book Review- 50 Shades Trilogy

What's The Hype?

50 Shades of Grey became quickly a very popular trilogy to read. More so with women readers than men, though there are plenty of men out there that have read it. Below is my personal review on the series as I read them about 2 months ago. This is strictly my own opinion and has not been swayed by other opinions rather I am trying to give you a detailed run down of the books with out giving away the story.

**********************************************************************************

I loved these books! I can't say that I loved one more than the other, but that it was hard to end one book and not immediately pick up the next book. E.L.James did a fabulous job on these books by not just detail in the story and character development but they were very well written. Due to the subject type you can't typically get them in a library, and currently you can't loan them out on amazon. I would suggest that if romance/erotica is not your normal reading genre to get sample readings on line of these books and even see if you can borrow the first book from a friend. I say that because the erotic part of the book is not for everyone, so while you may appreciate the writing, the content may very well turn you off on the books.

The story takes place with a girl that is still a virgin and generally speaking innocent when it comes to relationships because by choice she has put dating in the back of her mind, preferring to sit down with her English romance novels. While this girl may be a rare thing to find in her senior year of college today like shown in the book, I can say I don't think she is an impossible character to imagine out and about in the world today.
She meets the other main character Christan while doing an interview of him for her roommate.
In short they end up "running" in to each other again, and slowly get to know each other. Before she knows it she is letting those hormones she has ignored come to the surface and lets them take over.

There is Sex , lots of sex. Specifically he is a Dominant and was her to be his submissive. It doesn't quite plan out how he wants but he ended up very happy with the situation. The reasoning for him being a Dominant is very much due to his childhood, and memories that for ever haunt his dreams. In the last book those horrible memories can be safely said to be put at ease and they do both find their happy ending. They also find a middle ground for what they both want in the bedroom.
