Fifty shades of grey tries out feminism to try to have more depth with open relationships when guy really just a rich white megalomaniac that sleeps with every woman he can while manipulating one to the point that she cannot be without him and another that really just needs to go see a therapist …. It to mention the erotica inspired parts of the book we’re the same over and over that they read as if they didn’t want to be written at all, was writing them really the authors idea of a poor “sex will make this book sell” marketing strategy that they were forced into which would be quite ironic with the general theme of the novel

the characters were interesting/entertaining, the plot was not, so i think that a 3 star rate is fine.

The whole book is pretty much about the male gaze and feeling validated by men.

Hmm this is an example of a literary fiction novel where the purpose was lost on me. I’m assuming the author was trying to be satirical and make a point about gender and power dynamics, but instead of being clever or articulate, it came off digressive and incoherent. It was hard to follow what she was trying to say, or even if she was trying to say anything at all. Instead of any insightful observations or thought-provoking dialogue, there was just a ton of ramblings of a rich, young, skinny white girl.
I didn’t hate it because I can tell that the author is a talented writer. But it also reads as something that the author tried really hard to make provocative and controversial just for the sake of being ~groundbreaking~
