Fifty Shades of Grey
by E L James
genre: erotica
Synopsis from Goodreads
When 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.
Review
This book contains mature material, but the review does not. I’m very uncomfortable assigning a rating to erotica novels. Ordinarily, I wouldn’t even review them at all, keeping them a guilty pleasure tucked away in the back of my bookshelf, so there won’t be any commentary on the more mature aspects of this book. However, I am not policing the comments even though I would prefer everyone keep it clean.
