"Grey - Fifty Shades of Grey as told by Christian" by E L James

The cover taken from my tab

Grey...few years back, it was a simple boring colour (though i did like that particular color - still remembered a skirt that i owned during that time...n after thinking hard, i still like the color now). But these few years back, grey is much associated with the well-written series by E L James. I have to admit, i thought the author was a man, but to my surprise, it is a woman (i enjoy reading but i don't really pay a lot of attention to the author). It was a separate world - between the world in the book and the real life of the author and i like to keep both separated. Anyway, i just finished the 4th book...i woke up around 2.30am this morning and read thru till 5am. I bought it few days ago, after searching high and low on almost every bookstores here, i even checked out the one in the airport to vain. I was contemplating to get a copy from Amazon, but considering the price and the pain (i can't wait for 1month delivery plus custom stuff), i finally settled for the Google playbooks version (i still prefer the old-fashioned paperback though). Since i am still tight up with my project, i could only read several pages at night and it made me desperate...yes, i am very impatient...but you hardly can blame me ^.^

So back to the controversial Grey (btw i still havent watched the movie - it was banned here)...some people love it...some loathe it...some doesn't even wanna read it...some like it but afraid or ashamed to admit. While me...i like it sooo very much ^.^  Ok, don't get me wrong...i like the book but about the BDSM...ehm...i don't think i am cut for it (i avoid pain as much as i could - otherwise i would have had lots of tattoo on my skin by now wkwkwk). But the book-lover-freak inside me is screaming for joy when i read Grey series. I love the first 3books (Grey, Darker and Freed )which tell the stories from Ana's point of view but i found this Grey book, Grey's point of view - astonishing. Maybe because it is rare to read a fiction from male lead' point of view. I read a bit of Edward Cullen from incomplete and unofficial Midnight Sun, i like the witty story of Evan in Tangled series (by Emma Chase), and this Grey book is an mind-opener.

It is refreshing to get 'into' Christian Grey's head...to know what ticks him, which button moves him and how his mind works. It really fascinates me to get a glimpse of what was going on in a men' head, especially a fifty-shades-f*cked-up-guy-like-Grey. Well, at least Grey had successfully occupied my nights *winking*

 
PS. Pls bear with me - i know there are lot of typo here - since i'm blogging using my mobile, but i am just too lazy (and sleepy) to cross every t and dot every i   :-)
