Unlike the movie I have not seen ... or just a start streaming (which I dropped because I did not like at all) ... I much preferred the book because bcp more details. one imagines the characters. We live through them ... I devoured volume 1 in 4 days. "I attack" 2 tonight ... to know the result. It is not that "BDSM" as some say. I think I would have been disappointed by the film because too much detail in the book, which makes it attractive from the rest, love, misunderstanding, fear on the part of "Anasthasia" and the pshychologique suffering from the "great Christian Grey" with certainly deviances pkoi but we understand in the end and we just want to read on to see why ... (I will not reveal what you why because it is vague in Volume 1). I recommend this book. I liked and yet I did not see the criticism because it is not my style at all !!! Like what ... See for yourself but for that you need to read it ^^
