Book review: Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy

In my brief research, I came to know that the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy was originally a Twilight fan fiction, which got popular and the names of main characters are changed to Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele, instead of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan. Jeez, thank goodness for that. And since the story is too long, therefore it is separated into 3 books.

I admit, I am a fan of the Twilight sequel. Althought people make fun of it because the movie turned out stupid. But I really really wanted to check out what's the damn hype of Fifty. So yea, I'm in love with Christian Grey right now, something like how I went head over heels for Edward Cullen. *ahem* Please note the past tense.

Well, the story went like this: Ana Steele went for an interview when her roommate (who was assigned for the task) fell sick, and met the multi-millionaire, drop-dead gorgeous Christian Grey, who is an entrepreneur and owns his own company at the age of 27, living life on the luxury line, and god-damn successful. As when he proposes an unusual deal/contract/arrangements after making an impression that he is indeed interested in her, she realizes that he is deep-down "tormented by a demon". But she could not resist him, and decides to go along and explore her own dark desires.

I gotta admit, this is like reading porn. And I learnt a lot about BDSM too. No kidding. I enjoyed this trilogy though, also another books I cound't stop reading. Not to mention my lecturer saw me reading it minutes before the finals exam when I was supposed to be studying. I find that the first book is more on the romance and sex. And that it gets more intense and full of dramas in the second (Fifty Shades Darker) and third book (Fifty Shades Freed). Not many will be interested in this kind of books, but Fifty is interesting. Well done, EL James.

I heard Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy topped Harry Potter as the fastest best-selling books. Well, I guess sex sells.

Gotta go now. Laters, baby.

Slowly I'm pulling you near,
Sayin', shh, babe don't make too much noise,
There's a lot of peoples who live around here."
