Mr Grey… 50 Shades of perfect

So to start of with. I’m not a reader, I do not read, at all!! I bought myself a book when we were waiting at the airport in December and believe me; I have not even finished the first 3 chapters. That’s how much I hate reading, though it seemed fit at the time.

Well, for some or other reason, I have found a liking in reading. My first ever trilogy books. Ok, not for some or another reason, I know the reason very well (I blush). Maybe because of the hype behind the book, or because the hot guy in it (in my mind off course), maybe because of the naughty part or maybe just maybe because of a man called Mr Christian Grey, yes definitely because of Mr Christian Grey (I go into daydreaming). Oh how I wish I could climb into this book and live there forever.

Several weeks ago, I received facebook notifications, news releases and much talk about “Have you heard of the book 50 Shades of Grey? “ So my dearest, I think most of you know what I am talking about and if you don’t, well, jeez… shame on you. Off course I am talking about Fifty shades of Grey.

Fifty Shades of Grey is a 2011 erotic novel by British author E. L. James. Set largely in Seattle, it is the first installment in a trilogy that traces the deepening relationship between a college graduate, Anastasia Steele, and a young business magnate, Christian Grey. It is notable for its explicitly erotic scenes featuring elements of sexual practices involving bondage/discipline, dominance/submission, and sadism/masochism.

The second and third volumes are titled Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed, respectively. Fifty Shades of Grey has topped best-seller lists around the world, including the United Kingdom and the United States. The series has sold 40 million copies worldwide, with book rights having been sold in 37 countries, and set the record as the fastest-selling paperback of all time.

So I am going to give you a little teaser of the books and what you can expect. So if after this you still don't want to read it.. well just saying that you are missing out...on a lot!

50 Shades of Grey 

When literature student Anastasia Steele goes to interview young entrepreneur Christian Grey, she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly, innocent Ana is startled to realize she wants this man and, despite his enigmatic reserve, finds she is desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Ana’s quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her, too—but on his own terms.

Shocked yet thrilled by Grey’s singular erotic tastes, Ana hesitates. For all the trappings of success—his multinational businesses, his vast wealth, his loving family—Grey is a man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control. When the couple embarks on a daring, passionately physical affair, Ana discovers Christian Grey’s secrets and explores her own dark desires.

Erotic, amusing, and deeply moving, the Fifty Shades Trilogy is a tale that will obsess you, possess you, and stay with you forever.

50 Shades Darker

Daunted by the singular tastes and dark secrets of the beautiful, tormented young entrepreneur Christian Grey, Anastasia Steele has broken off their relationship to start a new career with a Seattle publishing house. 

But desire for Christian still dominates her every waking thought, and when he proposes a new arrangement, Anastasia cannot resist. They rekindle their searing sensual affair, and Anastasia learns more about the harrowing past of her damaged, driven and demanding Fifty Shades. 

While Christian wrestles with his inner demons, Anastasia must confront the anger and envy of the women who came before her, and make the most important decision of her life.

50 Shades Freed

When unworldly student Anastasia Steele first encountered the driven and dazzling young entrepreneur Christian Grey it sparked a sensual affair that changed both of their lives irrevocably. Shocked, intrigued, and, ultimately, repelled by Christian’s singular erotic tastes, Ana demands a deeper commitment. Determined to keep her, Christian agrees.

Now, Ana and Christian have it all—love, passion, intimacy, wealth, and a world of possibilities for their future. But Ana knows that loving her Fifty Shades will not be easy, and that being together will pose challenges that neither of them would anticipate. Ana must somehow learn to share Christian’s opulent lifestyle without sacrificing her own identity. And Christian must overcome his compulsion to control as he wrestles with the demons of a tormented past.

Just when it seems that their strength together will eclipse any obstacle, misfortune, malice, and fate conspire to make Ana’s deepest fears turn to reality.

Critical reception of the novel has been mixed. Yes, at first I also thought, no this is wrong, on so many levels but I couldn’t stop reading. Christian’s dirty talk made me turn 50 shades of red! Some people will love, other’s will hide their love and some will hate. Well, I am not ashamed to say that I am in “the love” section off course. 

People are literally obsessed. I mean literally and I thought that I was bad. They made themselves charm bracelets and necklaces of these fictional books. That's how crazy people are.

Spanking, wrist cuffs, and dirty talk that’s fit for a porno, that’s what you will find in this book. Much of Grey’s appeal is its Cinderella story—the rich-man-sweeps-innocent-beauty-off-her-feet female fantasy. And as in so many romance novels, beneath the hero’s domineering layer there’s a vulnerability that only the heroine can penetrate, though not without some emotional manipulation.

So here is a few of my favorite quotes from the books.

This is me, Ana. All of me...and I'm all yours. What do I have to do to make you realize that? To make you see that I want you any way I can get you. That I love you.” 
― E.L. James, Fifty Shades Darker

Don’t leave me,” he whispers.
“Oh, for crying out loud—no! I am not going to go!” I shout and it’s cathartic. There, I’ve said it. I am not leaving.
“Really?” His eyes widen.
“What can I do to make you understand I will not run? What can I say?”
He gazes at me, revealing his fear and anguish again. He swallows. “There is one thing you can do.”
“What?” I snap.
“Marry me,” he whispers.” 
― E.L. James, Fifty Shades Darker

“We aim to please Miss Steele” 
― E.L. James, Fifty Shades of Grey

“Why don't you like to be touched" Ana whispered, staring up into soft grey eyes.
"Because I'm fifty shades of fucked-up, Anastasia” 
― E.L. James, Fifty Shades of Grey

“I'd like to bite that lip.” 
― E.L. James, Fifty Shades of Grey

“Are you smirking at me, Mr. Grey?” I ask sweetly. Pompous ass.” 
― E.L. James, Fifty Shades of Grey

This video is definitely in my believe a great trailer to as how the movie will be and off course my choice is Matt Bomer. The hot, gray eyed, smirkish boy.

So please, I beg of you to go and read the book. It will change you, literally change you! For now I think I will not find a book that will compare to this glorious edition, but perhaps I can read it again in a month or so. (I blush)

Sorry but I will have to leave you know. Mr Christian Grey and a glass of wine is awaiting me.

Laters everyone

Till we meet again
