I learned about this book from Delamar, one-third of the The Morning Rush trio of RX 93.1. She talked about it a number of times over their radio show and her two co-DJs were teasing her about it. She even read a snippet of it on air.
I got curious and started googling about it. What I found out made me cringe. BDSM? For real? I didn't even know what the heck it means at first so it led me to more wikipedia browsing. I have read a lot of books with intimate moments but BDSM? I wasn't sure if I was ready to venture into that realm.
But my curiosity got the better of me so I got myself copies of the books and well, I finished all three in a week!
Okay, I must admit I did not read ALL of it. Especially the BDSM parts. It was way too much for me.
But I must say, I did enjoy the story of Ana and Christian (their real story minus all the BDSM crap). I like the first book the most especially the first few chapters when they first met and Ana's hormones just went haywire. I enjoyed how E.L. James build the intensity of their attraction to each other.
Then Christian revealed The Red Room of Pain and you realize he ain't that perfect dreamy guy after all. He's got issues, major ones!
Book 2 and 3 were a bit dragging for my taste. I feel like the story was
stretched way too long when it could have fit into 2 books at the most.
But who stops at sequels these days? Trilogy is the way to go, right?
Despite all that, though, I still went thru all three books. Another thing I liked most was the email exchanges between the main characters. There were sweet and funny moments in this written conversations. Ana tends to be more communicative when she's writing down what she says and I kind of relate to that.
The books lives up to its reputation of being a "mommy porn". Intimate parts were aplenty! I mean there were too much action that it gets old after some time. It was an erotica novel after all. The thing is, this was my first time to read something from this category so I am totally clueless as to how much "action" really goes into this kind of literature.
So would I recommend this book? Yes but keep it out of reach of children and teenagers! Puhleez! There is still a nice love story underneath all that queer stuff and you can always skip it as I did. Enjoy!
Laters, baby. =)
