 Goodreads Synopsis:When literature student Anastasia Steele is drafted to interview the successful young entrepreneur Christian Grey for her campus magazine, she finds him attractive, enigmatic and intimidating. Convinced their meeting went badly, she tries to put Grey out of her mind - until he happens to turn up at the out-of-town hardware store where she works part-time.

The unworldly, innocent Ana is shocked to realize she wants this man, and when he warns her to keep her distance it only makes her more desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Ana’s quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her - 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 adoptive family – Grey is a man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control. When the couple embarks on a passionate, physical and daring affair, Ana learns more about her own dark desires, as well as the Christian Grey hidden away from public scrutiny.

Can their relationship transcend physical passion? Will Ana find it in herself to submit to the self-indulgent Master? And if she does, will she still love what she finds?

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

This is Actor Matt Bomer.

This is how I imagined Christian Grey 

My Review:This is the first Erotic-Romance i read. I got to say that it wasn't as bad as i thought it was going to be. It could of been better. I'm not too impressed....But the authors writing skills in my opinion, were a little off,she had improper use of words, which made it a little confusing to understand.

The Characters:
Anastasia Steele: flat and static
Christian Grey: flat and static
Katherine Kavanagh: round and dynamic

I did not like the Ana Character shes Confused, Immature, Weak, and maybe Schizophrenic since she had her subconscious and her " Inner Goddess" as she says. Of course she's beautiful, but her and over thinking things she did not see that. I didn't like how she said " oh my" it really annoyed me. I also did not like that when she was give advice for her mother or friends she would ignore it and follow of what her " inner goddess was thinking. Umm hello!!! are you stupid!!

Kate, i don't have much to say about her. She did not annoy me. Shes a great friend of Anas. But again Ana never listened to her and completely ignored her advice.

Now last but not least, Mr. Fifty Shades of Fucked up. Christian Grey what can i say about this guy... Of course he's good looking or as Ana says he's so hott! But i don't like his personality. He's a Control Freak, A Stalker,And Abusive. I did not like how he thought that Ana being a Virgin was " Situation" as what he calls it. And he had to quickly fix it. Umm excuse me, if i were Ana Steele i would of said Fuck No, slap him, and left. But noo! she stayed and pretty much melted by his good looks and "charm".

Overall:
I don't hate this book or like it. I'm in between. For example this book is like a catchy and terrible song. Yes you might not like it but you can't stop listening to it when it starts playing. The book got a little better through out the ending. I'm going to read the second book and write a review on it.

- I can't believe that this story was the erotic- fan fiction of Twilight but just the names are changed. A friend of mine made a joke that it sounded just like the Twilight story. And i told her that its based on one of the Twilight's Fan fiction stories.
