Fifty Shades Darker (Fifty Shades, Bk 2)

I'm sure I don't have to go through what the plot is about for PBS readers- so I'll spare you. However, I will say that I'm not entirely sure it was better than the first there was more action and I appreciated the shopping trips and the characters going out to dinner, etc. Anything as long as they didn't start having meaningless sex. I really really just got tired of reading about sex. I almost found myself half skipping the sex scenes. Some reviewers were right. It was meaningless and didn't move the story along, it was like she ( EL James) was just trying to fill up five hundred pages. Having said all that I did fall in love with Christian Grey. I guess the characters calling each other by last names is a British thing which we all know the author is from there- so that didn't annoy me. I will also say as a psychologist that she did get the psychosis correct when she analyzed Christian's mental state.
