Fifty Shades ... Oh My!

I have recently finished reading the Fifty Shades trilogy by E. L. James.  I think the majority of the female population have read or are reading these saucy books!  I first heard about them when they were being reviewed by the Today show quite a while ago.
I ordered them over the internet but they were taking so long to come that I ended up buying them through i books ... which worked out quite well as I could read them inconspicuously on my phone :)

The Setting

The stories are set mainly in Seattle USA

The Characters

Anastasia Steele is a young, inexperienced uni graduate.
Christian Grey is a mega rich, extremely handsome CEO with a BDSM addiction.

The Story

Christian tries to convince Anna to become his 'submissive' and enter into a dark world of bondage, domination and sadism.  Anna, however, manages to show him another way and ends up stealing his heart.

My Thoughts

Being an avid reader and a bit of a book nerd, I have to say that the writing was not that good.  I found the story line to be pretty flaky (although it did get a little better by the third instalment).  The author used the same phrases repeatedly and all the naughty business got a bit too much at times.
Despite this, I did read them all and did like them ... something different!  I reckon I would give them a 7 out of 10!
