Fifty Shades of Grey: First Chapters, First Impressions

I have entered a world where everyone is "smartly dressed"--no, make that "very smartly dressed"--and where a woman's knee-length boots are "sensible." It's also a world where a writer can write this sentence:

     "It's a stunning vista, and I'm momentarily paralyzed by the view."

and then follow that sentence with

      "Wow."

Wow.
