Passion, love, and a tiny bit of forbidden lust. This is what the book is all about. You can love it, you can hate it, but the controversy that became iconic in the eyes of millions simply can’t be dismissed and not admired. It raises the eyebrows while raising the body temperature. Better not underestimate the book because it will simply amaze you and correlate with your hidden desires so much that you will want more no matter what. Bondage, dominance and even BDSM, these can also be a part of something that becomes loved and idolized and Fifty Shades of Grey will show you exactly why that is the case here.
The book is a prime example of what the fan fiction is capable of. E.L. James, the author of the book has inspired by the strength and possibilities of fan fiction. This has led her to practicing and writing her first stories. The passion grew in size and turned out into a modern bestseller known by the name of 50 Shades of Grey. Some call it a copy of Twilight, others claim that it has surpassed the predecessor by a mile.
The original book is a very recent addition to our libraries as it was released in 2011, only two years after James started writing it. The result could not have been better. 125 million copies were sold in 2015, imagine what the figures are today. The author has definitely hit the soft spot of half the planet, regardless of the reader’s gender. The book is written in erotic romance style and sets up quite a standard itself.
The plot circulates around two people with ridiculously different backgrounds yet so close to one another. Their names are Anastasia and Christian, of course. The female protagonist is young, doesn’t lack in beauty yet is somewhat shy and quiet. She is asked to interview Christian, a very wealthy man with strange but strong and appealing aura. Both are single and get instantly attracted to one another. Anastasia, however, thinks that she is not pretty enough for a man of his stature. Despite that, Christian always seeks to meet the young girl and sends her presents.
James shows how two completely different people get drawn to one another. But that is only the first impression. Girl as shy as Anastasia may get scared of Christian’s hidden desires. The wealthy young man has wicked desires. In fact. He is a fan of domination and submission with all the fun stuff like BDSM. This is the key point of the book’s story and we watch closely how the two interact with each other. Will she break bad and accept his true nature? Or will he be willing to stamp on his desires to follow his heart? This is what the book is about and it does great to entertain reader by holding the pressure high. Among other attractions, of course.
The book is the first installment of the trilogy devoted to this erotic romance novel. The popularity of the book grew to such immense size that each of the three books either was adapted into a movie or will be in recent years. The book has made James a worldwide popular person, even iconic to many readers. Her ability to connect deep story of understanding and love with something wilder and sexual was the game changer in this case.
The legacy of the book lives on and the fans still can’t keep calm about the plot, constantly making new alterations and additions to the original story. Some even aim higher and create unique novels based on the original one. This is what popularity means and 50 Shades of Grey deserves every inch of it.
“My wife will have the Twinings English breakfast tea, bag out, and I’ll have a coffee with skim milk, please.”
Christian is his usual commanding self.
“Oh, I wouldn’t do that, luv,” says the waitress affably. “The coffee here is shocking. I’d have tea if I were you, this being a tea room.” Continue reading “Betty’s Tea Room” »
