Since I made a long rant about BDSM and this book, I decided to get a hold of a copy of Shades of Grey and start reading it for myself to scrutinize if it is indeed 'unhealthy' bdsm like some people have said.
So lets start with chapter 1. Spoilers ahead kids.
The book is written by a bristish lady about a Washington University lit student. It opens with the main character having self image problems, looking in a mirror, feeling inadequate and just going out the door anyway. She is on a quest for her ill roommate to give a millionaire executive a interview for their school newspaper. She drives to Seattle, and notices many sexy blonde secretaries (something many insecure girls notice). She has a very heated conversation and feels sexually attracted to the executive (who is late 20s), and they have a conversation about control. She makes ridiculous conclusions, and he actually describes what is considered in the BDSM community as a healthy dom perspective on life. He feels he has the power and knowledge to help lead people to their full potential, and that is how he runs his life and buisness. So far the only unwanted touching that seems to have happened is that he put her coat on her when she was leaving in a manner that is still considered gentlemanly.
So overall my opinion of chapter one is:
-Main character is relateable
-Main guy is pretty much text book ideal healthy dom
-Writing is far superior to Twilight
-I Want to read more....
