50 Shades of Interesting....

Ok...so I read it...and I read all three of them in about a weeks time....and it wasn't (totally) just because of the erotic literature....I think it actually had a really good story line...

SPOILER ALERT:  Do not read if you are going to read all three books and don't want it ruined....

Handsome rich young man meets an attractive college graduate and falls head over heals for her.  Mix in a stalker ex-"girlfriend" and a psycho old foster brother....and you have a pretty good story line.   That's not to say that the other parts weren't good, there are certainly some things that I have learned and had to look-up, but I don't think that the world should only focus on that aspect of the book.  What about looking at the power of what a good woman can do?  Christian was one messed up man, and Ana's love and patience, (and her stunning good looks) were able to transform him totally.  That's romantic.  That's true love.  Sure, it didn't hurt the story line that Christian has eleventy billion dollars and could spoil the crap out of her....but what one of wouldn't look at that part of the story line and be just a little jealous?  It's classic Cinderella (mixed in with whips and chains....totally relevant to the times...)

Just saying....don't diss it until you read it....it's made me think about a few things....(ok....maybe about a lot of things but not all of them are X rated...)
