Review: Bridget Jones: The edge of Reason

Bridget Jones: The edge of Reason

This book tells what happens in the life of Bridget Jones, the main character. She lives in London and she has already started a relationship with a boy called Mark. Rebecca was creating doubts between the couple. Finally she got il. But Bridget had a big problems in Thailand aduanas and Mark helps her to go out from prision. And, at the end,  Bridget got back with Mark.

Personal Experiences

Ino one hand, I think I resemble to Bridget in mental aspects: she do unexpected thigs and she lives the moment. When Bridget has a romantic problem, she thinks a lot about it and she ask for advice to her friends. The main character is also very independent and sentimental.

The story makes me think a little bit in my personal live but not to much, because Bridget is a little desaster in love.

Personal Opinion

I really love the book but I think that the story is simple and the plot doesn't push forwards because it explains the same information and circle arround at the same information.

Recommendation

I recommend this book because It's very dynamic to read and sometimes has a funny parts.

Review

50 Shades of Grey

Anastasia "Anna" Steele, a student in literature who lives with her best friend, Katherine Kavanagh, who writes for the student newspaper at the university. 

Katherine grabs a cold and persuades Anne to take his place in a job interview. Then she meets the interviewer, Christian Grey, a young rich and successful entrepreneur. 

Ana is immediately attracted him, but so is intimidating. A few days later Grey appears on the hardware where Ana works and purchase rare articles like plastic flanges, ropes ... The relationship between these grows. 

Grey comments to Ana that he would like to have sex with Ana, but to practice it was necessary Ana signed a confidentiality agreement and sign another of domination where there can not be a romantic relationship, just a purely sexual.

So Ana signed: Here starts a master-submissive relationship that is very strange and revelatory to her relationship begins. But Grey never saw Anna prepared to maintain extremely sadomasochistic relationship with him, so I always mantain certain limits. 

Finally Ana, after a discursión asks Grey to punish her with a belt in order to check if she could withstand the harshness of sadomasochistic sex. During the punishment Ana feels ridiculed, attacked and sad and she decides to leave Grey.

Personal Opinion
I read the book in summer, I don't have It very present. But I remember I loved it because the author leaves many issues unresolved and  she has created a dark shadow around Grey. This was what hooked me to this story, among others. It's highly recommended, but I don't understand why lately is causing such a stir because it's a common erotic novel.
