"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."
this is the first book in the most talked about series lately. honestly, it lives up to what it says in the book cover: "erotic, amusing, and deeply moving".
their love story's moving, it made me feel "kilig" and wanted a guy like christian, rich, handsome, powerful, sweet, loving, etc.
i loved most in the book was christian and anna's text, chat exchanges. it was all amusing and really showed their real personalities.
most of all, the book is erotic, with mature/adult content. this is from christian's other personality. his unusual sexual practices that made me think twice that he's not that a perfect guy at all. i'm actually scared of that part of him.
overall, the book's good. i skipped some parts of the sexual portions of the book since it could get too descriptive of the actual acts of bondage/discipline, dominance/submission, sadism/masochism (BDSM). maybe the main reason the book's much talked about is just because it tackled the bdsm concept but still was able to incorporate romance into it.
