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.

Erotic, amusing, and deeply moving, the Fifty Shades Trilogy is a tale that will obsess you, possess you, and stay with you forever.

This book is intended for mature audiences.

    Pleasantly Surprised

    I had read a lot of negative reviews about this book, so I was hesitant to read it. I'm glad I did. I can see why some people dislike it though, as it can be a bit vulgar at times. It's one of those books that you have to take it as it is. I am glad I gave it a chance!

    I didn't give it a negative review because of the vulgarity. I'm vulgarily fluent in 7 languages myself. I gave it a negative review because the writing is Gawdawful horrible drivel. It reads like the kind of fan-fiction 15yr old girls write about themselves and Justine Bieber, only E L James uses a spellchecker. Considering it began as derivitive fan-fiction based on "Twilight", which itself was written for the teen female market (and to a lesser extent the semi-literate American adult market), it's not surprising just how badly written this thing is. Such ridiculous concepts of BDSM, unrealistic portrayals of sex (c'mon, how many people have THAT MANY simultaneous climaxes with their partner? Really.), etc.
