Why would I devote the limited amount of time I have for reading for pleasure to a series like this?īut as the dialogue about Fifty Shades of Grey increased, both in the media and amongst my friends, my curiosity was piqued. I found the relationships between Edward and Bella and Bella and Jacob to be patronizing and emotionally abusive, and I also thought the writing was pedestrian at best and boring to read. I have read all of the Twilight books and I did not enjoy them. When I first heard about Fifty Shades of Grey and learned they began as Twilight fanfiction, I swore I would not read them. I am admitting this because I feel the need to share my opinions about what I consider to be the incredibly - and dangerously - abusive relationship portrayed in the books. I set my Kindle to count how many times the word "gasp" is used in the third book and the total was more than 70). I have read all three books in the Fifty Shades of Grey series.I am not admitting this because I am ashamed of my sexual desires or even because I feel the need to rant and rave about the poor writing quality of these books.
