Fifty Shades of Grey book 1 - book discontinued by Vintage Books - review by jaimie1984

With so many people raving about this book I just KNEW I had to pick up a copy! As I was acquiring this book I couldn't contain my excitement, I felt like it was Christmas and I felt rather naughty buying it too! But alas, I knew I had to read the book, so that's exactly what I did!

I was expecting this book to be completely raunchy. I wanted it to go into grave detail about the sexual aspects of the BDSM world and was sadly let down. While it did explain limits...both soft and hard, it didn't really give me more insight into the kinky world of BDSM. However, even though it wasn't very detailed it did turn me on!

The story line is fantastic with an up and down love line between Ana and Christian. Christian is every woman's dream...he's young, sexy, mysterious, dominant, beyond rich, and full of sexual knowledge. Ana is a young woman who doesn't even know what BDSM is. She's your "girl-next-door", innocent, oblivious to the evils in the world, compassionate, and loving. Once these two characters meet, the whirl-wind love affair takes off. The reader will feel the ups and downs with Ana, your heart will go out to both characters, you'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll root for this couple to make it!

It is a must read in my opinion! Don't expect to learn about BDSM through this book. If that is what you're looking for, then you're better off not reading 50 Shades Of Grey. If you're looking for a love story that makes you fall in love with the main characters, then this is for you. I can honestly say that you will not be able to put this book down!

Make sure to have a toy handy as this story will turn you on, often!
