- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Sasha Grey's first foray into writing is littered with classic film references, and the novel itself centers around a Kubrick-esque secret sex society. It is, predictably, replete with sexual scenarios and lurid imagery but as such it is well written avoiding the purple prose of bad harlequins or the unreadable "steamy" scenes in Fifty Shades of Grey. You'd think that the protagonist in an erotic novel written by a former pornographic actress would be a Mary Sue character, but this isn't the case. The author puts us inside her character's head and keeps us there, with her doubts and insecurities. That said, the progression of the chapters seems formulaic, bouncing from an internal monologue to a sex scene to a plot driving event sequence. Further, the twist at the end also suffers from relying on formula. Howeever, if I had to choose between this and Fifty Shades, I'd choose this. Someone who had sex professionally for years who has also read the erotic classics from De Sade, Bataille, an others obviously pulls it off better than somebody who started out writing smutty fan fiction about teenage vampires.
