They meet when she interviews him for the college newspaper, and he pursues her relentlessly while trying to transform her into yet another of his rigidly controlled sexual submissives. I had tried the first book a couple of years ago, and didn't get very far.įifty Shades of Grey is about a brilliant, wealthy businessman, Christian Grey, who can only express himself sexually within BDSM relationships, and his affair with his complete opposite, a vanilla virgin college student named Anastasia Steele. Honestly, I had no clue what it was actually about, other than that it was erotica, the books were monster bestsellers, and a lot of people seemed to actively hate it.

I was so captivated and freaked by his exceptionally well acted turn as a serial killer in The Fall that when I was alone one evening and noticed that the movie Fifty Shades of Grey was available free on demand, I succumbed to curiosity.
