    About the Book

    When literature student Anastasia Steele goes to interview young entrepreneur Christian Grey, she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly, innocent Ana is startled to realize she wants this man and, despite his enigmatic reserve, finds she is desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Ana’s quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her, too—but on his own terms.
     
    Shocked yet thrilled by Grey’s singular erotic tastes, Ana hesitates. For all the trappings of success—his multinational businesses, his vast wealth, his loving family—Grey is a man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control. When the couple embarks on a daring, passionately physical affair, Ana discovers Christian Grey’s secrets and explores her own dark desires. …

i'm shocked this book made it to the bestsellers lists and that women were brazen enough to walk up to counters and buy it. take away the first 30 or so pages, and the emails that are clustered in intervals and the whole thing is sex. bad sex at that.
where to start? the main character - anastasia (ok, the names are ridiculous - a kid in grade 5 would name her main character anastasia steele. ugg) - is a twenty-something virgin who is inexplicable attracted to said grey. he's a victim of some type, which is supposed to explain his sadism (and maybe supposed soften our judgement of him?) but no amount of plot reasoning can excuse a guy who list gynelogical equipment, nipple clamping, and various fistings in his contracts.
in many ways it's like Twilight - with it's whole only-with-you theme (in this case, mr grey …

This is a review of a rework.

As far as fan fiction is concerned, 50 Shades of Grey and Master of the Universe (based on the Twilight Saga) are essentially the same. A major difference is that Edward and Bella’s names have been changed to Christian and Anastasia, respectively. My knowledge of this comes from the fact that I have both and that I switch between them occasionally while reading with no difficulty.

To me, it seems obvious. There is no difference in the mannerisms of the characters. There are even similarities between the things they say and what the original characters said. Especially Edward’s “dazzle” line and asking Bella to trust him. Besides being incompetent in the romantic dependency, her mother remarried. Edward’s troubled past still motivates Bella to save him from himself. The only difference now is that Edward can hit Bella when she strays too far.
