Last week, searching for a book to read, several of my co-workers and I were discussing an up and coming popular book that is getting a lot of hype. My curiosity peaked.
When literature student Anastasia Steele goes to interview young entrepreneur Christian Grey, she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly, innocent Ana is startled to realize she wants this man and, despite his enigmatic reserve, finds she is desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Ana’s quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her, too—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 family—Grey is a man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control. When the couple embarks on a daring, passionately physical affair, Ana discovers Christian Grey’s secrets and explores her own dark desires.
When reading the synopsis, I still had no idea what this book was really about. I believe, if books can be rated ‘X’ this would classify. Or at least, rated R for Sexual Conduct. But, with all that said, it was a quick, easy read and it kept me wanting to read more and see what’s about to happen next. While reading it, I imagined that the Christian Grey was Sam Page. It made the book even more enjoyable to visualize with this hottie ;) The ending definitely got me hooked, and I can't wait to jump into the 2nd book of this trilogy to see what's going to happen next.
My rating: A+ for this.
Oh- and I also found out, 2 days after I’m reading the book, they are going to turn this into a movie!!! Possibly considering casting Damian from Vampire Diaries as Christian Grey. That will work for me too. Enjoy!!

I feel like everyone is reading this right now! I need to get on the ball!
I am reading it now too. HOLY CRAP! I had no idea how X rated it really is! Its amazing though. I can't seem to put it down.
I’m about halfway through the first book and have the second and third on my nightstand. I can’t wait to see how they’ll turn them into movies. It would have to be X rated!
I'm visiting from BUB’s book club linkup!
This book has been everywhere lately. It's not the type of book I normally read, but I'm curious enough that I want to pick it up!
I'm about 75% through the first book and I'm not hooked like everyone else yet!
