fifty shades of grey review

'Fifty shades of Grey Trilogy' By E.L. James -Review

 

Fifty shades trilogy- E.L. James

 

*** Please note that these books are not suitable for younger readers as they are erotic and contain a lot of sexual content***

 

 

As nearly all of my readers would have heard; the fifty shades trilogy is being made into movies to be released on valentines day... kind of appropriate don't you think?

 

Now there are three distinct stages to this story; the sexual stage, the character stage and then finally the plot. As every adult who has access to any internet and/or contact with others will know that this series is based on dominance and submission in the bedroom; which as a sexual preference is becoming more accepted and popular because of works like this.

 

Little to say this trilogy sparked a revolution in both sexual and literature acceptance; it opened up a word or sexuality that many did not even know existed however it led to a literal flood of erotic books being published. Like people were waiting for a book to be successful before being brave enough to attempt it themselves; and this may not be the authors but rather publishers that have never before published work like this, and we can thank the amazing E.L. James for this amazing change in views. It got that popular that the largest bookstore across the UK had to dedicate whole bookshelves for erotic books only; obviously far away from young adult and children books!

 

Well back to the series; I think the sexual element of the books were incredibly written; true many people believe that they don't represent the real thing... but do we want all books to sound like real life... 'he grunted and fell asleep' doesn't quite have the desired effect.... but I don't think the books rely on the sexual element.

 

True without the conspiracy of the forbidden love there wouldn't be the start of the story but my favourite book was 'Fifty Shades Freed' because it contained the least sex of the three books but with real focus on the story and it was truly an amazing plot.

 

The characters drove me crazy sometimes... like the female lead was infuriating at times... but the rest of the times she complimented the story perfectly. Now Mr Grey... hummm... I think he was written in such a way that encompasses everything anyone envisions as their perfect partner. This is because there is enough detail to get you started; but there are enough gaps that your forced to use your imagination! But this has led to some concern as to the effect of the movie... it will remove the readers need for imagination; after seeing the movie every scene they read will be with the actors face and not the face they originally saw!!!!! Beware it will never be the same again!!!!

 

Overall I give this series 4.5/5 because she was REALLY infuriating at times!!!!
