Fifty Shades

Ok I finally finished reading the trilogy e-books of Fifty Shades. I know i know it is so last year, but better late than never!

The only reason I started reading the book was because it seems like alot of peeps I know has read it and there was quite a few shades of comments or reviews about the book that finally intrigue me enough to know what is it all about. (Anyway very free also lah!)

So, when I first started reading the e-book, I know nothing about the characters or how and what the story is about. Ok thats a lie! I know it has some sexual contents BUT not on what kind of sexual contents.

Anyway, when I started reading, I thought the 2 main characters were almost similar to Bella and Edward from Twilight. Both Bella and Ana were shy, no confidence, no sense of fashion and virgins when it comes to relationship. Both Edward (swoons!!!) and Christian were damn too rich too be true, good looking with girls falling on their feet, overprotective kind of guys. Heck, initially I thought it was another vampire falling in love with a mortal kind of story.

However, I was interested really on how the characters evolve in their relationship together. Of course the sexual contents were interesting. I learn a lot about sexual things that I have never known before. It is very interesting how this domineering and submissive sex can be. I would rather however take a vanilla sex anytime than to try out all the pain to get pleasure. But I don't mind my vanilla sex with some chocolate sauce or whip cream ;)

But it was how the relationship between Ana and Christian that kept me reading. In fact I was so into sharing the story with hubby (not the sexual content part lah).  But being a guy of course he not interested.

There are certain parts of the book when I feel frustrated reading about the characters. I mean, I can't understand how Ana can be so weak and just refuse to tell Christian off from controlling her especially when it comes to her career wise. When I commented to hubby, all he can say is "She is not like you lah."

Seriously? You mean there are women who likes to be dominated? Of course, I am aware that there are some husbands who does dominate their wives (whether sexually or not, I don't want to know!) And I am aware that there are still wives who are very submissive to their husbands even despite gotten hurt, they are still loyal and submissive. How they can be like that is still a big question to me! Luckily, I live in a world and a generation where women, most of the time have their own rights or almost equal to men. If not, I could not imagine what/how my life would turn out to be!
