As the blurb says: 
 Romantic, liberating and totally addictive, this is a novel that will obsess you, possess you, and stay with you forever 
 This is completely true. It's a romance story just not a traditional one which is what makes it different and unique. 
 I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book! I love how that its not just about the sex as many see it to be. It's not just pure smut. This novel has a story line, a life. 
 The pace of the book was perfect. It didn't feel rushed or too descriptive. I didn't feel overwhelmed with detail. 
 The banter between Christian and Ana was brilliant. How could you not love their emails to each other? I'm interested in seeing how that translates to film. 
 One of the things I really enjoyed about this book is that you can tell that the characters are smart and well educated by the descriptive words used and the conversations between the characters have. I don't know how many times I have had to look up the meaning of certain words. And this is what makes it different from other books that I have read.... normally we're told a character is smart by the mentioning of good grades etc. but there's no back up but here there is!! We can clearly see just how knowledgeable these characters are by their choice of words and phrasing. It also gives them more of a personality and sets them out from other characters.
