hen 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.

Review of 'Fifty Shades of Grey (Fifty Shades, #1)' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

It's not romantic, and it's only sexy until they start having sex. After that it's repetitive and depressing. Best character of the book is the roommate who wants to throw Mr. Emotional Abuse out on his ass.
I bought this book because it's the first time I'd ever heard of fan fiction being published for money. But after this book, I reckon publishing will remain difficult for fanfic authors.
