What if you find
yourself entranced by someone who's just too different from you?
This is the conflict
in E.L. James's "50 Shades of Grey" which in a matter of
three months has emerged to be one of literary world's
"controversial" books. Some people think that the book is
merely a Twilight ripoff
only with different characters in a normal vampire-free world. Others
think that the trilogy is titillating but still lacks depth. There are those
who see the books as nothing but over-hyped and adjective-repeating novels. I
have so-so feelings for the trilogy (although I loved the last book, Freed) but for it to
generate these buzz-kills, it means that it is interesting in its own way.
I
think one of the factors that makes the book so gripping is Christian Grey
himself. He's this man whose tortured past fuels him to be a controlling person
in so many ways particularly behind closed doors.
The author herself
confirmed that there's an upcoming movie adaptation. Even if there's no word
yet about the characters, the cast will definitely
make or break the movie. Speculations about the actor who's gonna play Mr. Grey
are rife. I'm not in any way a casting director but surely it's fun to
take a guess.

Doesn't
he look dapper in a suit? Every inch of him radiates the appeal of a
business
magnate.
