Fifty Shades Trilogy
If you want to spare yourself the pain of reading all three books but wants to know the quality of them, do read the reviews by this lady. I laughed so hard reading them, and sadly I have to agree with most of what she wrote:
For my part, Fifty Shades Freed managed to redeem itself in a VERY minor way towards the end when Christian Grey was more open about his background - covering Mrs Robinson (the cougar who introduced him to BDSM) and the foster home he stayed in briefly before adoption. That's it. Nothing else was really worth reading. I pretty much wasted a few hours of my life everyday just to read those portions. If there is one good thing about the books - Christian Grey (or E.L James for that matter) has really good taste in classical music, which explains my 50 Shades songlist on iTunes now. Hahaha. My favourites are Chopin Opus 28 No. 4 and Flower Duet from Lakme.
Other than that, I have no idea how this series outsold Harry Potter on Amazon UK. Maybe Grey is really sexy and attractive in many ways, I don't know. I thought the mood swings (hence the name 50 shades) were crazy and is likely to put a strain on any relationships no matter how rich he is. To a certain extent, only the bossiness is attractive at times (times when he had everything taken care off without being told). Besides that, I think most women might suffer a nervous breakdown with that much controlling no matter how Adonis-like he is with sculpted back muscles, smouldering grey eyes and how his pants always hang around his hip in a sexual way (I can't even imagine that).

I read that there are plans to make this into a movie. Hopefully, the screenwriters can make this book meatier in terms of storyline. If they are going to stay loyal to the book, they might as well just make it a pornographic film not meant for mass distribution. Hahaha. Maybe they should combine the three books into one movie. Or maybe they should just scrap the entire plan of even making it into a movie. I mean Twilight movies were shit (I'm sure the books are too but I didn't read them so..I ain't judging). Oh wait, I didn't watch Twilight movies too, because none managed to hold my attention for more than 5 minutes when they were on re-runs on HBO.
Anyhow, I'm so glad I'm done with the trilogy and I can move on to books with healthier contents and better writing. Damn, or at least a book that allows me to learn some new words or knowledge. No I'm not really keen on learning more about BDSM stuff, plus E.L James didn't write them in a detailed fashion anyway.
