When the books first came out and were launched I decided I was going to stay away from them as I do not usually like to do things because the media recommends it or other people "hype" over something.
But when a friend of mine lent me the first book to try and encourage me to start reading again...I finished the first book in two days! Yip 510 odd pages in two evenings.
Now for me this is an all time record. My boyfriend and I have been dating for 2 years and the only thing he has seen me read is Facebook and Twitter.
Now I wasn't enthralled in the books because of the "mommy porn" as the media has called it or the sex scenes ( I actually found those pretty boring and repetitive) but the way EL James writes her books. She somehow manages to capture you ( the reader) into the book and it feels as if you are living the story. Now, for me, that is something extraordinary as alot of authors do not possess this kind of writing skill.
I am going to admit though that by the third book some of the scenes or paragraphs are a bit cheesy and repetitive but it is light reading that captures your imagination and fantasy...that is important for a women to keep alive!
I am looking forward to reading more of her books.
Do yourself a favour and give the books a chance and make your own decisions on the books.
