Many times I wanted to put the book down, sometimes due to boredom, and other times through simple disgust.ĥ0 Shades of Grey has become the fastest selling paperback of all time, as well as being a popular e-book. Unfortunately, this unease about actually purchasing and reading never left me. My intrigue began when many women of all ages (I am 19) started asking about and buying 50 Shades of Grey at the department store where I work.Īfter reading the blurb and some reviews online, I found the prospect of reading a book filled with BDSM-style sex confronting, but still intriguing in a strange, slightly shameful way, actually similar to how the female protagonist of 50 Shades reacts to the idea of exploring the new world of BDSM. I was ambivalent about reading this controversial best selling work by E L James, the first in a trilogy of similarly best selling books, yet I felt, without being fully able to explain why, that I had an obligation to read it. E L James, Fifty Shades of Grey, Vintage, 2012
