Firstly, a lot have been said about it already and I don't plan to waste my time writing a review that would surely gather me a lot of 1 star ratings on my work.
Then, this trilogy (yes, to my eternal shame, I've read all three in a dazed state of shock) has irked me enough to make sure its review would be another thesis about "sexual violence against children & women" or "the violation of children's and women's human rights". Yes! Another, because I have written two theses about those themes already and it seems to me that nothing have changed in more than 23 years... Much on the contrary, IMHO, the approach - and the behaviour - of the general population to this serious theme has been careening down the hill, especially due to fictional books like this, which impact on a huge percentage of female teenage, NA & adult population way of thinking and reacting. And no, I am not a feminist, nor I have a problem with those who engage in a BDSM relationship and, yes! I read and write erotic romances, among other genres.
Also, this book has seriously made me doubt the sanity of more than 70 million of people - especially the women that bought and promoted it - I know, I know, it's fiction, but it's damaging fiction - and I still can't understand the reason it has caused such a commotion. I have even participated in a group formed by sociologists, psychologists, psychiatrists and fellows lawyers, who were seriously concerned with the consequences of those ideas on future generations comportment. Well, our conclusion was very unpleasant. Unfortunately.
So, for those who want my opinion, I recommend the reading of all the one star reviews which are serious about the issues treated on this trilogy as if they were a desirable behavior to be pursued.
