She takes her time to scrutinize me, as if seeing me for the first time. Pain-riven eyes focus on mine, her look intense, questioning. “Finally she responds, slowly turning in my arms to face me. Mutual attraction leads them to attempt to forge a relationship despite the fact that they may be completely incompatible.
Then he meets Anastasia, the one girl he can’t get out of his head, though both of them are skeptical about her ability to fulfill the submissive roll that Christian believes he needs in a partner.
And it helped me finally figure out what I thought about Fifty Shades, and boy do I have a lot of thoughts now.Ībout the book: Rich CEO and self-titled Sadist Christian Grey leads a satisfying if somewhat boring life as he runs his giant company and acts as a sexual Dominant in his spare time. It was Christian that I liked, as a character. This second time through, and so soon after reading Kepnes’ Hidden Bodies, I decided I like reading about emotionally unhinged and slightly violent men. When I first read it, I went through so fast that I couldn’t quite articulate my opinions of it, or put my finger on what I liked/disliked exactly. I’ve been having an awful month, though, and I didn’t want to make it more awful by forcing myself to resist reading whatever I felt like reading, so in the midst of a rereading binge I spent some time flipping through the Fifty Shades trilogy. I’d heard bad reviews, my best friend who agrees on almost all books with me hated all things Fifty Shades, and I had mixed feelings about the trilogy already, so I didn’t think I needed to read Grey at all. James’ Fifty Shades series (I’d read the others already) but I was not. I remember thinking when it came out that it bugged me a little not to read the final addition to E. Part of me can’t believe I finally read this book. After much deliberation, I’ve decided to share my review of it here, as well as some general thoughts about guilty pleasure books. James’ Grey fits all of those categories, and I ended up reading it anyway. Do you read books you don’t like admitting to? What draws you in to a book you only want to read secretly? What makes a book embarrassing to read? Sometimes it’s poor reviews, unpopularity among your friends, taboo content, or something that’s just out of your reading norm. Today we’re talking about: guilty pleasures.
