Wait! Don't go there, yet!
I know most of you are gonna say the words controversial, too much sex, erotic, rated PG, poorly written, Twilight-y, and every word relating negative about it. Yes, those words describe the book. Too much sex everywhere. This trilogy could be one heck of some sex education. Someone even gave it a genre: literotica (literature and erotic combined).
But!
Ever considered the story? At first, I was curious about this book and that's what made me read it. I was warned by my roommate (who hasn't read it yet) that this is one controversial book because of its eroticism. I gave it a go since critics everywhere also piqued my curiosity. For a very conservative person like myself, I decided that if the first book is too much (and doesn't enchant me to go on) I would just stop there. But the first book actually left me hanging and makes me keep on asking the question WHY?. So, onto the 2nd book... and the 3rd book. And done!
The 2nd book made me cry... twice! The 1st book was like an introduction to Christian Grey's lifestyle so it wasn't that very inspiring to read. But the ending was very hanging, like I should read the 2nd book because if I don't, nothing would make sense. The 2nd book shows Christian's vulnerabilities. That was something that made me cry. The 3rd book was what completed Christian's inner conflict. Christian's conflict was revealed little by little in the whole trilogy that's why I kept reading because as I go on, Christian reveals another puzzle piece of his past until in the end, it was complete and it made me understand his situation as why he is like that.
As I stated above, I'm a very conservative person, meaning, I don't like very erotic books even though I'm at legal age to read them. But then, make this trilogy an exception because it wasn't all about the sex parts. It's the story underneath. I just skipped the gory details of the sex parts. And just like every other book I've read, there's always a lesson or more that I'd obtained from it.
But I'm busy as of the moment. I only sneaked a post this time. So that means my next post will be the things that I got from the trilogy. Right now, I recommend you read the books, as in the whole trilogy. Don't stop, just keep on reading and you'll know understand why.
Until next time!
Feel the love!
