First of all ill keep this post clean and not turn it into a spoiler for those of you who want to read it. For those of you who blush at the books content or are going I cant believe youd read that ill say this " I'm a grown ass woman I can read what I want!" So anyway Im on page 457 almost done with book one on day 4 and am in love! Its a highly entertaining piece that crosses tons of boundries and i can only hope for more from the other books. That being said Ive noticed many similarities with Twilight. Not that thats a bad thing because I enjoy the Twilight books. It just kept picking at me that alot sounded the same. Rich guy and normal girl. Girls mom is divorced and remarried living in hot state, Georga, while Ana and her dad live in Washington. And a few other things. So i did my research on wikkapedia and came up with this:
Background The "Fifty Shades" trilogy was developed from a"Twilight" fan fiction originally titled "Master of the Universe" and published episodically on fan-fiction websites under the pen name "Snowqueens Icedragon". The piece featured characters named after Stephenie Meyer 's characters in "Twilight",Edward Cullen and Bella Swan . After comments concerning the sexual nature of the material, James removed the story from the fan-fiction websites and published it on her own website, FiftyShades.com. Later she rewrote "Master of the Universe" as an original piece, with the principal characters renamed Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele and removed it from her website prior to publication.[6] Meyer commented on the series, saying "that's really not my genre, not my thing ... Good on her—she's doing well. That's great!"[7] This reworked and extended version of "Master of the Universe" was split into three parts. The first, titled "Fifty Shades of Grey", was released as an e-book and a print-on-demand paperback in May 2011 by The Writers' Coffee Shop, a virtual publisher based in Australia. The second volume,"Fifty Shades Darker", was released in September 2011; and, the third, "Fifty Shades Freed", followed in January 2012. The Writers' Coffee Shop had a restricted marketing budget and relied largely on book blogs for early publicity, but sales of the novel were boosted by word-of-mouth recommendation.
With that being said .....ROCK ON for EL James! Truthfully as much as i love Twilight the books are written alot like a teenagers fan fiction. 50 shades of grey is in my opinion is very well written and better than twilight. Probably bc the main charicters dont waye to have sex until the ladt book chapter ten! Im really excited to see what happens to Ana and Christian in the next two books . Haley
