Fifty Shades of Grey

I liked this book. Anastasia Steele clearly has some issues of her own. I mean I don't think I could've started my sex life off on such rough terms. But hey she liked it. It's very obvious that Christian Grey is messed up. I mean he likes to have all this kinky sex stuff, but doesn't want to be touched. He just has serious issues. I don't even know how Anastasia dealt with it, but I guess she would since Grey is her first. Some parts of this story confused me because I just don't see why Ana didn't run for the hills. But then I had to remind myself that Ana is not me, and I am not Ana. For some reason the end made me cry. I guess I'm a little emotional today, but I just couldn't stop crying once she realized how bad he was hurting her and how fucked up he was. I guess I just felt bad for her. I probably would have gave this book 5 stars if it didn't end with her crawling into bed hugging a balloon. I just couldn't deal. I mean I know the balloon had a significance to her, but who hugs balloons when they're sad. I think maybe Grey could have bought Ana a stuffed airplane, you know something soft and cuddly, and I probably would have respected this ending more. But I was just like grow up Ana and stop hugging balloons.
