Fifty Shades of Grey: Trilogy

I recently tore through these three very popular books, I went in thinking that I was going to be dripping with excitement within the first few pages. Boy, was I disappointed. Firstly, yes they may have alluded to some "kinky" things in the books but nothing too over the top happens. I was firmly led to believe that these books would sexually satisfy me. In reality, I fell as if the author took a personal journey we can all see.
She starts writing in a style more consistent with a fan fiction website than a well-published book; but by the time you wrap up the trilogy you realize that she learned a lot from herself and how to write and that gives me hope that maybe if she tried to do it again the results would be better. Her lack of vocabulary skills seems evident throughout all of the books though by the half-hazardly thrown in wording.
I am not going to even touch the feminist side of how these books promote rape. I think rape is a horrible problem in society but I don't personally see any "rapey" things going on.
All in all I think the books are less for the smut than they are for the interesting character struggle and development I see in Christian Grey. That is what kept me reading to the end. The struggle of a man who was shown the darkest of lives and, through love, sees change into the light.


P.S. I think I will come back and elaborate and extend this post but for now this will do. And yes I realize all of my grammatical mistakes. I am really tired and just don't feel very motivated towards semi colons right now.
