50 Shades Of Grey.

Hey again, just reviewing a book this time.


Now, where to begin. I think most of us know of this book, most women have read it too, I've been researching and I discovered that '50 Shades of Grey' is the bestselling book in the world, outselling other book series, such as Harry Potter.

I had the misfortune of reading all 3 (A friend dragged me into it, she was ashamed) however, back to the review... Now, I had begun to read the first book and it was all so sweet, how Christian treated Anna like a princess, who would have thought this book was about to have such a unexpected twist?!

I had finished the first book and in no way at all did I enjoy the thoughts it had left me with, however, I'd read the first book and well, what’s the point in not reading one if you won't read them all, and that’s what I did, it didn't take me long at all, I had the first 2 books down in 2 days, the last book however took me about a week, It was rather boring and dragged on, I thought they could have ended it at 2. So after reading all 3, I gave them back to my friend and ever since the book hasn't stopped haunting me since, everywhere I go all I hear is 'Omg I want a Christian Grey' at one point even one of my teachers said it. (That my friend is a SCARY thought.)

So, what are my opinions?

Well, if you ask me, I would tell you not to read this book, there is no deep reason for it from myself, I just disliked them, and I never really imagined Christian to be 'A knight in Shining armour' must just be me, but what I will say on behalf of others is this book is basically 'Mummy Porn' excuse my language.

I've been reading up on articles and I know for a fact that the feminists dislike this book; they think it drags the women down in society, and that it's strange because the character 'Anna' easily gave herself away to a man she barely knows. I think the feminists also realise that the writer E.L.James must have tried some of the things in this book to be able to write about them in such detail. Another thing I've noticed is that when I go to Asda or any local supermarket, in the book isle I've noticed other types of this genre, each time I've read the blurb and I've known, just because of how it says 'She's introduced to a new world' this type of quote explains it all.


50 Shades has created a book revolution, and women must be getting desperate to keep buying them, (no offence ladies but that type of book shouldn't be sold in shops, maybe the top shelf in corner shops)
This book basically portrays how men are dominant and to add, Christian Grey is the top of the top, he is controlling man who owns his own business. This just portrays the Patriarchal Society...

Another point.

In Media I remember watching Twilight in lesson (Another appalling book, but that’s for another time ;D)
However, I remember watching Twilight and then it clicked, there are so many links between this book and this film.

A few examples



Anna moves to a cold country- in Twilight so does Bella

Anna's best friend is in love with her-  in Twilight Jacob is in love with Bella

Anna goes on Holiday to visit her mum who is in a warm country-  Bella does the same

Christian follows Anna to this holiday- Edward goes with Bella

Christian always makes Anna eat-  in Twilight Edward tells Bella to eat

Just a few, but I could name a few more...

So, an end to the blog, in my opinion, 50 Shades of Grey is no other than a copy of Twilight which just involves more sex and less fangs, the writer makes the book confusing by how it's not linear and Christian is no other than a control freak who likes wine. That’s it for now.

Enjoy. :)
