50 Shades of Grey

I am going to be a buzz kill. Before I get any further in this book I want to make my first observation.

Ana has lived with her (step)dad in the Northwestern region of our country. She chose not to live with her mom when she got remarried and the mom now lives in the Southeast. The story is from her point of view and we her the idle rumblings of her head and her self doubt. In addition she is clumsy.

Christian is adopted and I believe one of his adoptive parents is a physician. He also has a brother than is far more boisterous and jovial than he is. Who wouldn't be. Christian seems a bit intense and maybe a little sullen or brooding -thankfully just a little.

And in the beginning of the story when Ana our heroin is out on the town (kind of for the first time) she finds herself i a wee bit of a predicament. Who should appear out of no where to save her? Christian.

Am I the only on that sees screaming similarities here? Of course I know the book takes a darker turn. At that point I will start making comparisons to the OTHER vampire author if you catch my drift.

No work out tonight. Some linguine and white clam sauce to beef up a little on carbs before tomorrows ventures. Sun is up around 630. You know where I will be.
