I really enjoyed this book. It was very entertaining and that's one of the main reasons we read book.
I liked the characters: Ana is very independent and witty which was
fun to read. I could easily relate to her struggles to reconcile her
heart and her brain. I liked the way she talked about her inner goddess
and her conscience like they were other people giving advise and
opinions. And she had some very funny observations, like calling him
“Fifty Shades of Screwed Up.”
I liked Christian Grey: He was flawed but trying to find a way to
cope with his issues. He wasn't just buying companionship; He was
developing compatible partners. He was very honest and forth coming with
his needs and never tricked or coerced Ana into anything.
The sex was good too. Not just the vanilla sex but the BDSM too. I
thought it was presented very fairly which is very unusual for most
stories. It was lighter than I'd expected but accurately presented.
The plot was not very complex or deep but it wasn't that kind of story.
I've seen several reviews that disparage this book and I have to
attribute that to envy. This book broke through to the main-stream and
they, the disparagers, are just being petulant because E.L. succeeded
and they didn't.
Well worth the read. I've already started the sequel, Fifty Shades Darker.
