Welcome back to another review!
Sigh.....
I hate to start a blog post like that, but sometimes you just have to be real. What I almost hate even more is the review I am bringing you. Maybe hate is a strong word. I guess I should explain...
"Grey" is the Christian Grey version of "Fifty Shades of Grey." Before I started blogging, I read the fifty shades trilogy. I bought the first one on my Nook and refused to spend my own money on the rest so I opted on borrowing them from a friend of a friend. Probably wondering why I even bothered finishing the series but I wanted to do just that, finish. I can't just invest some time in a story and not find out how it ends. That's just wrong.
When "Grey" came out, I'm not going to lie I was a little intrigued. There's no denying that Christian Grey is beyond alluring. He seems intoxicating. BUT he also seems like a really "fucked up son of a bitch." (If you read that book you will get why that is in quotes) There is so much I despise about Christian, Anastasia and all the books combined. I flat out almost refused to continue reading "Grey" when I first started it. I was so tempted to just call it off, but like I said, I have to finish. And hate to make this post all about my anger towards these books, but I aim to write reviews whether good or bad. This one happens to be the worst.
Christian Grey is everything I hate in a man. Over-possesive, domineering, control freak and out right egotistical. I can't stand how he "needs" to cause physical pain to women to live his life. I'm sorry but there is no way that that can be acceptable to anyone or be an acceptable way to live. I know that technically he doesn't want relationships he wants submissives, but I find it absolutely appalling. And Anastasia is the opposite of a heroine in this book. Shes such a naive little brat who makes no sense, who also happens to have the perfect body and looks. Honey, no one is perfect. It makes me sick. The whole BDSM lifestyle is nothing short of horrifying and I want no part of it.
If you've read the trilogy then you know what "Grey" is about. I will admit that it was enlightening to see this perspective, mainly for the fact that I now have validation that Christian Grey is the worst fictional character of all time.
Sorry....
not sorry.
