Yet another book worth writing a brief review on. Now this review is a tab bit different because I really can’t say much about the book lest I give too much information away. I can say however that reading this book, much like one of its characters, leaves your mind wandering into a world that you know exists but never knew was as severe and extreme as all that. A world that involves contractual agreements, much negotiation, open communication, trust, and rules and conditions which you are required to abide by and fullfill.
I once saw a review on TV about the book and how it was considered one of the sexiest books of our time, but I never paid much attention to that and simpy ignored the TV programme altogether. Having read the 517 page novel in just 2 nights I can attest to that notion. IT IS AMAZING. An author so descriptive and articulate in her craft deserves much mention, praise and all the accolades that are bestowed upon her. E L James writing allows you to envision every scenario and emotion that she writes about, often leaving you gasping in amazement.
Some compare these books (the trilogy is made up of Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed) to the Twilight trilogy and while the storyline may carry similarities, these books are much easier to relate to because they’re about human beings who have certain unusual, but earthly, desires. Werewolves and vampires on the other hand.....hmmmm well there aren’t any in my neighbourhood so my obvious guess is that they are of a different, fictional world *sarcasm*, so me relating to them AT ALL?? Eh……Need I say more….Catch my drift?
The basic storyline revolves around a steamy relationship between a successful and handsome billionaire and a college graduate, and the book focuses on events and revelations around that. Again without giving too much away, I can say that oddly enough and strange as it may seem, you do sympathise with one of the characters especially when you get to realize that there is a very profound underlying reason that explains why they are the way they are, and why they desire what they do. I for one cannot wait to dig my fingers into the next book in the trilogy, which is Fifty Shades Darker. Happy reading everybody.
