Yes I gave in and read it.
Everyone was talking about it and I was starting to feel left out. No I didn't care for it. It was redundant and the main character, Anna, got on my nerves. Stop biting your lip! Stop whining! Be proud or excited or relieved to hear that you're the exception! I've heard the second and third books are better so I'm on the list (# 90 in the St. Louis Public Library queue to be exact) to read them too. Just because I need to know how they end, even if they aren't written much better than the first book. We'll see how they turn out...
If you don't already know what they're about, read more or buy it
here.
I just finished reading this trilogy and I do NOT understand what the hype is about. Not only did Ana bug the CRAP out of me the whole time, but I really fail to see how most women are enamored with Christian, the Overbearing Control Freak.
ReplyDeleteThe second and third books are definitely better (although still not the best books I've ever read). I'm like you - I had to finish reading them because I needed to know how the story ended, but I was glad they were finished so that I could move on with my life. :)
