In chapter 15, Ana arrives to work late. Her boss gives her a letter to work on, but Ana decides to e-mail Christian from her work computer instead. Previously, Christian had explained to her that any e-mail sent from her workstation could be visible to others at her company and even went so far as to erase e-mail from her computer in order to make ( Read more... )

I hate these people, you guys. I just hate them so much. It sucks because I think that some of the smut in these chapters might actually be pretty decent, not great, but an improvement on what we've already read, over and over. Still, I can't make myself interested because I am plagued by fantasies of Ana and Christian accidentally falling into a ( Read more... )

You guys, I see another story in this and it's so awesome that I am going to have to write it. Seriously. And we'll make the sex hotter. And less messy ( Read more... )

Fifty Shades of Grey is a story that has been told many times before. You can read a thousand different versions of the "emotionally unavailable rich guy with a past sweeps innocent young woman off her feet and she teaches him to love" over at the pit of voles told with whichever fandom characters you prefer or with your favorite fandom dude and ( Read more... )

PSA- I don't have a problem with people saying, "I am not reading Fifty Shades because from what I've heard, I would not enjoy it." That's fine. Heck, if you want to get into a discussion, feel free to reference what you've heard and where you heard it and how you're reacting to it. Just don't stick your nose up in the air and tell me that you hate ( Read more... )

I am done with this book! Honestly, I was expecting to want to keep reading. Okay, so the plot isn't all that great, but after all the talk about butts and so forth, it seems like there's some sexcapades in the future but I just don't care. I also hear that the second book is better, but I think that I might prefer reading the second Twilight book ( Read more... )

As of chapter 16, we're getting into the BDSM part of this BDSM novel and things get disconcerting. What we are told by Anastasia is completely different from what we are shown. It's jarring and leaves me with the feeling that we're supposed to think that Anastasia is possessed or insane and the story will center on her realization that she is in ( Read more... )

You know what, I kind of like Anastasia in these chapters. For the first time, I'm thinking that this girl could do a lot better than Christian and that he knows it. It's almost as if he's using sex and gifts to distract her from the fact that she's smart enough to find herself a guy who is just as cute as he and doesn't have all the weird ( Read more... )

When I was a teenager, I read a book called Exit to Eden by Anne Rice. I think it was originally published under her other pen name, but there had been a movie version and Anne Rice was huge at the time, so they published copies with that name on them. Anyway, the basic plot is that a guy goes to an island that is a BDSM playground as a slave where ( Read more... )

So, for reasons of crazy, I committed to read Chapters 1-5 of Fifty Shades of Grey by today. I actually made it through chapter 8 because that's how long it takes for anything to happen in this book. The story was originally written as a Twilight fic and it reads exactly like a Twilight fic. In fact, if this thing wasn't well known in that fan ( Read more... )
