I've met Ms. Anastasia Steele and Mr. Christian Grey in such a short while, succumbing myself in their love story and all their "kinky fuckery," and still seemingly wanting to know more than their abhorrent-to-some sexual affairs, to what depths their love would take them. I don't claim to be naive-in-a-nun-kind-of-way. But I do know that their sexual intimacy is on some level I could not even begin to imagine myself doing. I am just a simple and plain sexual being.
I would not want to discuss the book in a literary sort of way because I don't know how to be a critic, nor do I see myself as one. I only hold my own in terms of personal opinions. It may be sexually liberating and educational to some but I could say that it is not a literary masterpiece, that I claim and quite sure of. But it is nevertheless a masterpiece in its own way, the fact that it is considered by most a page-turner. It is lustful and passionate, and I enjoyed and respect it. And it will definitely hold its place in a bookshelf.
This is a personal thought: Fifty shades, even in its all sexiness, should NOT be a suggested read to minors, not even to non-married legally aged persons. Sexually mind blowing, that it is. It also exudes a feeling of independence, a distorted sense. And we all know that a teenager holding a Fifty shades book does not, and never will, look intelligently sexy. It is because we all know, every legal aged person knows, that it is during teenage years where we crave for acceptance and pride, a phase in our lives where we get curious and enjoy novelty. Of course the feeling is heavenly but they could easily get distracted... You know. We all know where those mixed emotions could lead to. And I believe that this could also hold true for non-adolescent single individuals, always eager to learn new things and more.
Hush now. I would not dwell on that. Cautious as I am with regards to this book in lending it to minors and its sexual content, I still see it as a good book, depicting a man and a woman's character, and that of love. A man is indeed a Christian Grey in all its subtlety. They enjoy a sense of control and dominance. They value power and achievements. On the other hand, a woman is naturally meek and mild and fickle-minded Ana. We give importance to love and relationships. Both beings value characteristics on directly opposite sides of the pole. But given that they try to mend and work things out, they could, in fact, gain equilibrium, balance, Yin and Yang. It's the fateful collision of Mars and Venus. Cliched and overly romantic, it's the magical work of cherubim Cupid.
Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy is a remarkable read but should be treated with prudence and under adult supervision. It is a rated-R.
It's erotic, sensual and beautiful... in all its shades of fifty.
