Fifty Shades

I have to admit it, this summers buzz got to me.
And the buzz I'm talking about is the "Fifty Shades" books by E. L. James.
Norwegian newspapers have written about these books a lot, and they are not out in Norwegian yet.

So i downloaded them on my Kindle.

I have read all three this summer, and must admit it: the books are good.
I have to say though, I don't find them erotic at all.
They are much (WAY!!) too explicit to be erotic.
This is more "wham, bam, thank you m'am".

What I really liked about the books is how the relationship between multi billion dollar Christian Grey and young inecent Anastacia Steel evolves.
They start out with him as the Dom. Laying out the rules (how to behave as a sub), and him not wanting a relationship at all.
As he says in the book: "I don't do relationships. I fuck!"

But then it turns out that Anastacia is not the perfect sub, she has her own set of mind and a blabbering mouth. Not a good quality for a sub.

Strangely enough this is what attracts Christian to her, and why he opens up and changes.

Add a little crime as well, and you have a good story.


I do get that some may find this erotic and exciting, to me it's borderline porn.
It's now one of the best selling books in the UK and Amazon, and I think it has passed Harry Potter on the list as well.
I've heard that they want to film the books, and it will be exciting to see how they will film some of the sceenes and not end up as a porn film.

Anyways, the books are a good read
