** spoiler alert ** 
 I finished it, THANK GOD! I've now officially read every word of 50 Shades of Grey, and i can say with certainty that i hated it. The only thing i liked was the ending, because ***SPOILER ALERT*** both fucked-up Christian and dumbass Anna end up suffering for their stupidity. To be honest i feel more sorry for Christian--even though i hate him a lot--because he's legitimately psychologically messed up and has always been suffering for it, and he really did try to warn Anna that he was no good for her. But i have no sympathy for Anna. She had so very many opportunities to take his word for it and GO. But no, she had to drag it out and make it that much worse for herself. Fucking idiot. 
 I really don't want to read the other books. I just want to leave off here with them both crying themselves to sleep at night and imagine that Ana puts this behind her and finds some healthy men who respect her body & mind to have normal, satisfying relationships with, and Christian continues psychotherapy and finds some nice masochists to have his stupid fun with. I think probably Taylor would be a good submissive life partner for him, if only Christian would swing that way. 
 I just DON'T GET IT. Why do women like this book?! The sex isn't that hot. It's so unrealistic! It just left me going "huh?!" I didn't get drawn in to the fantasy at all. And the parts where Christian is all "your body is MINE!" just made me want to kick the motherfucker in the balls. I mean, i can understand fantasizing about a dominant sexual partner. But this guy goes waaaaaaaay too far, and i think it's anything but sexy. If a guy treated me that way i wouldn't be eating out of his hand, oozing with desire; i'd be warning every woman in the city that he's a psychopath. (And it would seem that all those women would flock to him, since i'm among a minority who hated this book.) 
 I'm so, so desperate to talk to some woman out there about this book. Please tell me why you liked it, because i am simply perplexed.
