Fifty Shades Of Grey: Book One of the Fifty Shades Trilogy (Fifty Shades of Grey Series, 1)

"And in this quiet moment as I close my eyes, spent and sated, I think I'm in the eye of the storm. And in spite of all he's said, and what he hasn't said, I don't think I have ever been so happy."

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.

I loved the movies and i loved the first book. I like how it’s different from the movies and we get to see more in depth of how Ana is really feeling. In my opinion, a true love story comes from Ana and Christian.

Well this first book was just basically the introduction...it seemed very vulgar at first but it does get better. I like the character development as well as how smooth the book transitions from scene to scene.

The writing isn't good. The main character seems dimwitted and annoying. The romantic interest is a walking cliche, but at least he's a little interesting. The plot is kind of bad too. The end is especially poor.
