Quando Anastasia Steele, graziosa e ingenua studentessa americana di 21 anni, incontra Christian Grey, giovane imprenditore miliardario, si accorge di essere attratta irresistibilmente da quest’uomo bellissimo e misterioso e di volerlo a tutti i costi. Incapace a sua volta di resisterle, anche lui deve ammettere di desiderarla, ma alle sue condizioni. Presto Anastasia scoprirà che Grey ha gusti erotici e pratiche sessuali decisamente singolari ed è un uomo tormentato dai suoi demoni e consumato dal bisogno di controllo. Nello scoprire l’animo enigmatico di Grey, Anastasia conoscerà per la prima volta i suoi più oscuri desideri.

I am reading this because of the hype. I guess, I am done with this kinds of books.
Reading this book was one of the most painful and infuriating experiences of my life. Before I read it, I thought maybe it would dispel some of the myths about BDSM, but I was very wrong. Some might ay it's fantasy, but an obssessive, posessive, manipulative control freak pursuing and seducing a virginal, shallow, naive and insecure woman into a relationship that she's clearly uncomfortable with is not my idea of a fantasy. In fact, it's down right frightening to me. The sex scenes were far too numorous, and writen so that a horny eighth-grader would appreciate them. I've read far better amature errotic literature. i've read the synapses of the other books in the trilogy, so I don't have to waste my time reading them. I just hope people who don't know any better don't think that all people who are emotionally scarred end up not only adopting the …

I just hope people who don't know any better don't think that all people who are emotionally scarred end up not only adopting the BDSM lifestyle, but coersing someone who clearly isn't mentally ready for such an experience. There's enough stigma associated with BDSM without this book adding to it.
