Fifty shades of grey Article by PinkPanther A friend of mine sent a message telling me about fifty shades of grey the book, I think that was two years ago and I had no idea what the book was about so she told me that she will send me the ebook which she never did. A year later am busy browsing on the internet searching for some shades of grey drawing and the search engine gives me different results on shades of grey including fifty shades of grey. Then I remembered that my friend told me that I should read the book, so I click on the link and forgot why I was browsing in the first place because now am focused on the book. Luckily the link was an online free library with so many books to keep you busy, anyway back to fifty I got comfortable with a cup of coffee trying to warm myself because it was winter and for the record South African winter can be hash not what am used to in Zambia. Chapter one am slowly getting into the book and hoping that its interesting, I reach a point where I think Christian is annoying because Ana thinks so too during the interview. Fast forward to his Condo am confused and asking myself why she has to sign the NDA and there's the contract so am thinking is he a psycho.....moving forward to the "red room of pain" Ana describes the room and all the BDSM 35 toys and whips and flogs, all the sex kinky things that christian does to her. At this stage am totally confused so I decide to do a research of my own that's when I discovered about the world of BDSM....am like wow so people actually do this. Fast forward again I read the book and do more research on BDSM somethings are interesting but some are scary, I finished reading the first book in two days moved on to the second and third book well that's because I was on a vacation with a lot of time to waste and I must say Christian and Ana were good company. When the movie came out I was curious about the "red room of pain" so I watched it with a friend, to be honest I was not impressed. I think the book was way better than the movie but I still hope the next one will be good because am so going to watch it just so that I can compare.
