I guess the simple answer is that it was the perfect combination of female fantasy and light erotica that made it acceptable enough to go mainstream.
The first is: why was this book so popular? I was surprised when a friend of mine, who would not go near erotica on her own and usually reads pretty good literature, told me she’d read this book. I really don’t have anything else to add about this book, but I do have two questions. Christian Grey explains to Anna why he is obsessed with her by saying, “you disarm me totally, Miss Steele.
In addition, the relationship between Christian and Anna has no substance. I think it was supposed to be some kind of foreplay, because it served no other purpose–even Anastasia knew it was unenforceable. I also got really tired of all the talk about Christian’s BDSM contract. James does not understand what a subconscious is characters are constantly smirking and rolling their eyes and Anastasia Grey is often portrayed as a child. Many things about this book irritated me exceedingly: E.L. He’s into BDSM and she is not (at first). Anastasia is an ordinary girl about to graduate from college when she meets Christian Grey, an unbelievably sexy, rich, powerful man who is immediately obsessed with her. I doubt anyone in America is ignorant of the basic plot at this point. Sure, the writing was bad and the story line was unbelievable and boring, but every once in a while Anastasia did something amusing or it was kind of sexy. I had such low expectations coming into this book that I can honestly say it wasn’t as godawful as I was expecting. I figured, at the very least, Fifty Shades would be a quick and easy read. However, I am impressed by most of the other choices and I’m definitely a completist. I realize this list is pretty arbitrary, and nothing says that more than their inclusion of Fifty Shades of Grey (2011) by E.L. One of these is to read 50 Books That Every Woman Should Read Before She Turns 40. I am facing my fortieth birthday by setting out a number of different goals.
