Fifty Shades Freed by El James.
Finally, the most patient (or, perhaps, loyal) readers get to the last part of the Ana/Christian love story. Sometimes you really have hard time trudging through the text which becomes more boring as you read it further. Sex scenes are pretty much the same. Detailed descriptions disgust a reader profoundly. And above all this, you can't avoid the feeling that El James has run out of ideas. She simply has nothing to tell. She just continues writing with accordance to her script: sex scene - romatic event - turmoil - sex scene - tragedy - sex - sex - turmoil - etc. Readers can even sense the author's brain-tension. She is really desperate to find something else to write about. She finds this/things eventually, and at some point the book starts being entertaining. But not for long because the plot's pattern is predictable and mediocre.I mentioned in one of my previous notes the widely accepted opinion concerning the language El James uses in her books. The fact is the language didn't evolve in the slightest. It is as poor as it is in the very first book. The plethora of swear words on every page is worth mentioning, but other issues seem more prominent. There are so many typical phrases and cliches, that at some point irritation erupts out of you. Here are few examples: "Laters, baby", "Because I can", "What am I going to do with you", "Don't bite your lip", "Stop pouting", "I roll my eyes", "Are you mad at me?", "Good point, well made". These expressions pop out every now and then in every single book. In the middle of the second one (or perhaps even earlier) you start wondering whether or not El James' imagination works only in the sex-scene department.
Coming to the close the whole story seems like a peculiar cross-breed of physiology, thriller and a classic love story with a happily ever after. Looking back there is an impression of having a lot of rubbish inside your head. Only the first book, despite it's shocking content, has unique issues. All others were written with the purpose of selling as many copies as possible using the success of "Fifty Shades of Grey".
