With all the hip about this book or books I decided to read them. If you are expecting this hot steamy love scenes, you might want to read another books.
With all the talk about a woman submitting to the BDSM lifestyle I really was expecting a bit more. But without giving away too much of the book I will just say, this is a lesson about a man overcoming his need to control stemming from a much deep psychological level and the woman that helps feed his desire to control without losing herself.
It is not the story that all the publicity indicated it was.
It was an interesting romance novel read, at least the first book and the first 25 pages of the second. After that it was mindless dribble to fill another six hundred pages. The author did not capitalize on several opportunities to provide the twist in the book, the one that all good love stories have along with movies. It is why we read and watch them.
It will keep you reading to find the plot twist, but if you are anything like me by the third book you just want the on and on to end.
Fifty Shades of Grey
Fifty Shades of Darker
Fifty Shades of Freed
Understand these are written in first person from Anastasia's point of view. At the end of Book 3 there is a slight perspective from Christan Grey. This is great insight which just lend to my thought it should have been written in third person. And there is only a tidbit of his point of viewer and that I just didn't understand the point of adding it. Unless this is where the 4th book will begin.
As with other reviews I have to say there is several redundant phrases used. But it only starts to be a real issue in the second and third book when you start getting annoyed.
I hope you enjoy the books much more than I did, I was just wishing the end would come by the last 100 pages of Fifty Shades of Freed.
And while looking for an except from the "contract" I found that if you look online there are several places to get the full book free as it was an e-book before getting picked up by a publishing house.
