Rubbish
-
I read this book curious what all the fuss was about.
A simple word for a simple book? Juvenile. I was actually getting angry toward the end. The characters were not even slightly developed. It could have been two robots agreeing to kinky sex.

Meh - lots of reasons not to get this
-
Amazingly poor use of the English vocabulary - how many times can an author use the words clamber and hitch? Every other exclamatory phrase was the same. Ever heard of a thesaurus?
As for the theme, it wasn't bad, just very predictable...
The narration, however, was horrible. She made Ana sound like a SoCal valley girl, not merely innocent a/o inexperienced, but rather stupid. It made me keep rolling my eyes!
Her voice just couldn't reach the depths of a proper man's voice, as so many other female narrators can do. That truly diminished the sensuality of Christian Grey and trivialized the story.

Beter Than Expected !
- Okay I like so many people have talked about this book and the up coming movie however never read it . So I took the chance and listened to it and I have to say it was much belter than I thought it would be . I of course was expecting nothing but sex , but the book is much more the story intriguing and the narration was perfect ! Give it a go before you go see the movie
