    Greenbone, I think you'll enjoy book 3. It brought the story full circle for me.

    I went to the bookstore like a month ago and these books were all over, I just went to buy a gift and the guy who works there was telling me that they were like the biggest thing right now... So I decided to give it a shot, I bought the first book without knowing anything but what said on itīs back. Long story short, I already read the three of them!

    I must say that I liked them! Every aspect of them!
    Now leaving aside the kinky sx thing, the story of Christian Grey is very touching, of course I hated him sometimes, but I canīt help feeling bad for him and his childhood and adolescence, those terrible things actually happen in real life, more than we know, and that really touched my heart. I loved that someone so unexperienced and shy like Ana came to his life and touched his heart, and gave him a new perspective of life, love and hope. He never stops being who he is, but he changed in many ways because he fell in love and he felt the happiness he never had.

    If they make a movie, I know itīs not going to happen... But I wish they will focus in everything except the kinky sx part, showing it of course, but in an artistic kinda way, I donīt know how to explain... I mean, they donīt have to be so "graphical" because at least for me there are many more important things than those scenes.

    Just finished book number 3. fantastic series! Book 3 definitely helped bring everything back together but I think book 2 is my favorite. Not sure why...? Oh well. All of it was fantastic. Although I do hate being able to see what areas were taken from TW...is that weird? Am I the only one that recognized that?

    I donīt think is weird, I felt the same! There were many many similarities, at first I was mad about that, it was much later that I found out it was based on TW in the first place! At the end, it has itīs own thing, quite different than anything Iīve read before! I loved them!

    TwilightTink and I loved this book so much we started a book forum for discussing it. We named it Inner Goddess because we loved listening to her Inner Goddess in the book. It was wonderful comic relief and so great to see so many women starting to find their own inner goddess. You can check us out if you like, but it is a breaks a few TM rules about topic discussions and pictures. www.innergoddess.freeforums.org
