Say "no" to romance novels


This trilogy was by far the WORST trilogy of books I have ever read in my life. Romance novels are terrible, terrible pieces of work. Don't ever pick them up. Ever...

Although you're probably wondering why I read all three? My friends, this is a good question that I frequently asked myself while reading these books.

The main character, Christian Grey, was a very interesting person. Lots of money, dark past, yadda yadda yadda. The reason I finished the series was to see whether this man's life had a happy ending or not. I wanted him to be happy because I want everyone to be happy. I wanted to know that this man could find some sort of relief from the demons that plagued him. I'm pleased to say that the ending was happy, but at such a cost to my psyche!!!

I wanted to find out why this man had such demons and why he was so sad. But there were too many sexual scenes, too many bad words, and the books were very poorly written.

I will admit that I was smitten with Grey, but then I remind myself: SELF! THESE BOOKS ARE NOT REAL. No relationship is that way. No person thinks that way. That could never happen.

Another interesting thing... this book gave me bad feelings. I felt like I was peeping on someone else's relationship and I felt quite guilty. Only when I got down on my knees and prayed did I realize why I had these bad feelings: these books do not come from my Heavenly Father. Marriage, family, and intimacy are sacred and should not be taken lightly. This book threw them around as if they were nothing, and I hated that.

So... needless to say, I will never read anything classified as a "romance" ever again. That is all.
