But if I recall, she had no choice in an OGBYN. He wanted her to see his OBGYN. She should have a choice in a doctor since it’s her body. And that was not the only reason I listed for why I think he treats her like property. You mention she has more choice in birth control. But he chose the doctor he wanted to examine her, and I’m sure do a pap smear. <br /><br />As far as my mentioning that I didn’t like the language, and listing examples of why, that’s what you do when you write an argument. You list examples to back up your argument. And yes I heard the writing wasn’t great before reading it, but instead of taking other people’s word for it, I wanted to see for myself. That’s what critical thinkers do. <br /><br />As for the e-mail address, I’m confused about that portion of your response because your writing isn’t clear. <br /><br />The book sucked. No person in their right mind would lose their virginity in a BDSM sex act. People into BDSM are usually more sexually experienced. Most people I know who are into BDSM say the is not a true reflection of that kind of relationship. If you want to read real BDSM check out Push The Button by Feminista Jones.

But I can't wait to see the movie. Although, I'm not sure if the guy playing Christian is hot enough for me.

Continuing...
What I really me...Oh, I'm sorry. <br />Continuing...<br />What I really meant to say was " it wouldn't be enough to classify this girl". <br /><br />With that said, I really think that Grey is a whole lot of hot ... That guy needed a woman, not a girl... Poor Christian... <br />It's true that he's a creep , but he's a hot creep, I would take that for a spin.

Thank you f...First, I'm glad I'm not alone. Thank you for that. <br /><br />I bought the book two years ago. Read the first ten pages and wanted to puck. <br />Anastasia annoyed me so badly I couldn't keep on reading. <br />Two years later and I finally finished the first book, honestly , I don't think I would buy the other two. <br />Two years ago I threw my book somewhere inside my closet and promised to sell it. I forgot to do so. <br />Now I had a dramatic foot surgery and am recovering... I found the book and thought " why not?" <br />Yes, it took me a serious foot surgery and inability to walk to want to finish this book. All because of Anastasia. <br />Childish, irritating, immature, demanding and annoying would be enough to classify this girl. I say girl because a woman wouldn't be as annoying as she is.

I decided to read this book after all the hype but didnt get around to it until just now..after watching the trailer it motivated me even more to read it! I really don't like ana and the book is repetitive in her voice with the "holy moses" and "don't bite your lip" by christian.. I don't like how she continued to be skeptical about agreeing for a big chunk of the book..she knew it and was just so desperate!

I just have a problem with someone who wants a man to touch her so bad, that she'll settle for a painful touch. <br />As for the language, the book started off as Twilight fan fiction. So I'm not sure what's her target audience. Age 15-65 is a very big gap. She's writing about adult issues but Anastasia acts like 15 year old. I agree there are some entertaining parts of the book.

Anastasia yes is very annoying ...The book is great. Anastasia yes is very annoying at first. But her character develops and gets a little stronger in part two. <br /><br />And Christian is controlling, but there isn't anything that's in not sexy about it lol. He protects her. Cares about her. All the material things he bought her in part one appeared initially to be a sense of control, but really...when you make appr. $100,000 an hour (revealed in part two I think) buying a girl an ipad and laptop is nothing. <br /><br />She breaks through many of his insecurities. He lets down his guard for her. And later on he gives up all his NDA stuff, etc. because he wants just her. Anastasia appears weak, but she's actually strong. Only someone with her challening patience and strength can handle someone like Grey.<br /><br />BUT I do agree the language is very elementary and repetitive. But you have to keep in mind the author's target audience ranges from ages 15-65. All women. And I personally don't have time to read a book and dicitonary to understand a good storyline! LOL<br /><br />Overall, the book is definitely worth reading. For me it's not a "can't put down-stay in the house all day and read"...it needs much drama and suspense to do that for me. But it's definitely given me much entertainment recently.<br /><br />Excuse any typos.LeeUnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457712359004161559.post-12919899014727581382012-07-31T17:56:23.565-07:002012-07-31T17:56:23.565-07:00I heard about the trilogy, but I haven't been ...I heard about the trilogy, but I haven't been inspired to read it. I was wondering what all the hype was about.<br /><br />I'm a fan of BDSM, but I always feel like it's handled in a way that makes a lot of people misunderstand how the power dynamic works.<br /><br />The way you describe the female character absolutely makes me not want to read the book, as she is a woman who absolutely should NOT be involved in such a relationship; at least not until she's had time to learn herself. Your description of her character makes me want to hurl.<br /><br />So no, in spite of my appreciation for the subject matter, I won't bother with the book. Thanks for reviewing it and taking one for the team.Amaya Radjanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06018534467097974996noreply@blogger.com
