CHRISTIAN GREY WITHOUT THE SEX . . .

Or the money or the rakishly good looks . . .  

Let's start with "Have you read THE book?"  You know, THE book that is the talk of everyone every where. . .   "Fifty Shades of Grey" is the book of the year that ALL the ladies are talking about. If you haven't read it you really need to get on the wagon and join the rest of the female population.
Basically the book(s) (there are 3 of them in the series) are totally trash and really sort of boring. We have the uber rich, super handsome, totally awesome and young Christian Grey who falls for naive and totally innocent Anastasia Steel. (And who in hell names their daughter Anastasia anyway? Don't they know when the kid has to write her name in kindergarten she will be the last one in the class to get finished!)  Oh, did I mention that Christian is a total mental mess with all sorts of issues.  He is also more sexually adept with unbelievable stamina and control than is realistically possible.  Believe me there is no man alive who could match this guy and no woman alive who could keep up with him.

I am finally reading the last book in the trilogy and am looking forward to moving on. I started the books because I needed to know first hand what the hype was all about. One you start you just have to keep going because you cannot believe Christian and Ana will come up with MORE ways to do IT. It has taken me 4 months to get half way through book three. There is only so much you can take at one time.

BUT . . .    when you stop reading and start thinking about this guy Christian Grey and you start stripping away the sex, the money, the good looks you are left with  . . .

the men we married!   Think about it. Christian Grey is one REALLY F----D up guy.   He has issues from his child hood, especially his "crack whore" mother.  My husband has childhood issues from his Brooklyn Irish Catholic mother.  (Not really so different if you think about it)  Christian Grey has problems with being touched.  Christian Grey has trouble not getting his own way. Christian Grey has issues about being in charge.

Seriously ladies, think about it!  Peal away all the great things about this character and what are you left with?  How very disappointing!
