Book 25, 26 & 27 of 52: Fifty Shades of Grey

I was hoping to read an all-time classic to mark the mid-point of my book a week journey. Instead, I did just the opposite and picked up the Fifty Shades of Grey series (aka "Smut") that almost everyone has read but me. I have now officially ventured into the steamy genre known as "erotica", or as one of my co-workers put it "soft porn". All I can say is that once I started reading this I appreciated it was on my kobo, so no one knew what I was reading.

All I knew starting this book was that there was a lot of sex. The first book was the most "erotic" of the three, but maybe I felt this way because by book two I was used to it. Thankfully I had no expectations of spectacular writing (it was really quite bad!), and if I wasn't such a fast reader I may not have had the patience to withstand the horrible writing. Book one didn't seem to have much of a story line other than boy meets girl and boy and girl have a lot of sex -- some of it quite hilarious and awkward. But at least in book two and three the story gets more interesting, as do the characters.

Enjoy these books for what they are -- a good, sex-filled, escape from your everyday life....unless of course you're married to your own Mr. Grey and don't need an escape. ;)
