LATERS, BABY! :P

I just finished reading Fifty Shades Freed.

What follows cannot exactly be rated PG.

If you haven't read it yet, or you have no idea what it is about, well yeah, it's got a lot of sexual content. I started reading Fifty Shades of Grey (Book 1 of the series) not realizing how bright-hued this ish is. Now that I am done reading the series, let me share with you how I feel about it.

Yes, I'm one those reader who couldn't put it down. I think Ms. E.L James did a wonderful job with the story line. Yay to her! But the writing? Quite frankly, for me it started to get a bit drudging. I don't wanna say drudging because deep in my heart was pounding for most of it. Probably the writing itself wasn't creative enough? I mean how many fucking times can a guy, "press his lips into a hard line" and how many times can he, "raise his eyebrows, surprised" and how many times can she say, "Oh my". All those effing lines were in the book atleast a couple of times each. And the one that really annoyed me was how quickly the author ran out of ways to describe orgasm.

As we all know it was originally a Twilight fanfic, like why the fuck? Fucking Twilight you guys! :P Obviously, I'm not fond of Twilight in general anymore, I gave this series a chance coz  had been hearing good stuffs about it. Yet after awhile, I realized, the more I searched for this tag, the more I started to notice that there were few posts saying good stuffs about the book. Then I realized something, when people say bad experience, they tend to dwell on it and let everyone know how horrible it is and to stay away from it. But when something is good, they don't really say anything. Based on that, I'm gonna say that this series was actually pretty good. There, yes, I said it. When reading it and you are fully aware that it was originally a fanfic, I was able to behold the similarities between the main characters in this series with those in Twilight.

Anastacia Steele = Bella Swan

Christian Grey = Edward Cullen

Kate Kavanaugh = Alice Cullen

Mia Grey = Rosalie Cullen

Elliot Grey = Emmett Cullen

Ethan Kavanaugh = Jasper Cullen

Dr. Grace Trevelyen = Esmee Cullen

Carrick Grey = Carlisle Cullen

I know that the whole concept of the story was BDSM/erotica, but was it really necessary for them to be at it constantly? I mean, one thing that was pretty annoying side was the fact that literally, every pages, Ana and Christian would be going crazy exploring each other's anatomy. LOL. The author could have toned that down a bit but now the more I think about it, the more I like it. HA! Is that bad? :P

I started reading the series first week of May and had been reading non-stop whenever I got a chance. (though I stopped reading after the second book to give way to Roth's Insurgent) I fell inlove with Christian Grey because of how fragile he was and how confused he was. I must admit I was in tears by the end of the last book. Christian Grey, Ana's Fifty Shades, was finally a whole person. He was no longer the Christian Grey who was shattered into thousands of pieces, the one who needed to be rescued. No matter how much he denied it, he was compassionate, love and child-like optimism at times. I was happy to find out that he had finally accepted that he was worthy of love.

I don't know, but it's probably just me, but the entire time I was reading this series, from the very first book, I picture Christian Grey as Ian Somerhalder. <3
