L. James, published a highly controversial novel about erotic romance. Fifty Shades of Grey is the first in the Fifty Shades trilogy, published in 2011, with the second and third volumes, Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed, published in 2012. The trilogy follows a maturing relationship between characters, Anastasia Steele, a college graduate, and Christian Grey, a young, billionaire businessman. The novel is noted for it&#8217;s explicit mental visual of sexual practices involving &#8220;bondage\/discipline, dominance\/submission, and sadomasochism (BDSM)&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The series has sold over 100 million copies worldwide. It set a record in James&#8217;s own country, the United Kingdom, as the fastest selling paperback of all time. Critics have given mixed reviews of the novel with the sexual content and less than perfect prose. However, the film adaptation is due out on Valentine&#8217;s Day 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Fifty Shades of Grey, the movie, is directed by Sam-Taylor Johnson. The novel, which became a global phenomenon, .stars <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm1946193\/\" title=\"James Dornan\" target=\"_blank\">Jamie Dornan<\/a> as Christian Grey, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0424848\/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1\" title=\"Dakota Johnson\" target=\"_blank\">Dakota Johnson<\/a> as Anastasia Steele. The other two novels in the trilogy have been confirmed to be upcoming sequels to the current movie. The rumor is that Dorman and Johnson (daughter of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, and in her first major role) did not get along very well, so there is a question of whether they will star in the sequels.<\/p>\n<p>Get your digital <a href=\"https:\/\/www.audiobooksnow.com\/audiobook\/fifty-shades-of-grey\/319200\/\" title=\"Fifty Shades of Grey\" target=\"_blank\">audio<\/a> copy today!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>British author, E.
