"Fifty Shades of Grey" author E.L. James recently released a new novel titled "Grey," which is written from the point of view of Christian Grey. Now some critics are claiming that the book is not good especially for women.
In the past, James' "Fifty Shades" trilogy sold over 100 million copies worldwide. This, according to multiple publications, can be considered a massive success and something that rarely happens in books and authors.
However, James' release of "Grey" is being questioned by critics. After it was revealed that the book will still chronicle the same story except told from the point of view of Christian Grey, there are some fans suggesting that the book was unnecessary.
"Fifty Shades of Grey" went through several levels of censorship before it was finally approved for the big screen. Now the upcoming release of its sequel "Fifty Shades Darker" is expected to go through the same process.
Meanwhile, according to TIME, James' decision to hire her husband as a screenwriter for "Fifty Shades Darker" can be regarded as creepy. Not only will the book feature a man dominating a woman in bed, it also features a man physically hurting a woman to satisfy his pleasure.
With this, there is a chance that "Grey" will also be adapted for the big screen and fans are worried that the film will serve women no good. If James' husband Niall Leonard will also be tasked to write the story for the film, there's a chance that it will be filled with too much testosterone that is not good for women.
In other news, fans who have read the copy of "Grey" have mixed reactions on the story. According to US Weekly, there are at least 21 cringe-worthy lines from James' new book. For instance, one of the lines featured in the book read, "Part of me wants to spank the shyness out of her."
