    I cannot tell if I like this book or hate it, yet I cannot put it down. The main characters annoy me to no end. I dislike the dialog and find it very far fetched..yet something keeps me coming back.

    Finished the series a few weeks ago & loved it - once I got past the fact that it's poorly written. I liked the development of Christian's character a lot - he's one #@*!?ed up individual with a heart of gold. Christian Grey beats sparkly vampire any day of the week.

    I didn't find the sexual situations "abusive" - as some in the national media (Dr. Drew!) have claimed. In fact, there's a whole lot more "vanilla" encounters than BDSM ones. And the BDSM encounters in the book weren't all that intense, in my opinion. Maybe I'm desensitized or something - my husband works at a porn store, so I've seen a LOT.

    It would be interesting to know how many of the women that are all gaga over this book think that if their husbands watch porn its cheating and/or disrespectfull im sure a good number.:laugh:

    Not me. He works away, so we both need a little something to keep the motor running while we're :wink:

    Not here. We have an extensive porn collection and I LOVE watching it with my husband. He also shares his email "Morn Porn" with me. Anyone who thinks their husband watching porn is considered cheating needs to look at themselves and wonder WHY they feel this way or better yet: Why not snuggle up with him while he's indulging? You might learn something. :flowerforyou:

    This book is bad. Poorly written. Its a big contradiction. I'm on second book and just don't get why people like this.
    Both characters are annoying. And the sex is completely farfetched. Honestly, read something worthwhile.

    LOL! The farfetched sex is the whole point of it!! Why am I going to waste my time reading something that's not hot and vanilla? I write erotic fiction and my husband gets to benefit from the raunchy sex that I write. The whole point is the fantasy.

    I almost bought it just last night but some of the customer reviews were REALLY bad so I settled on something else. Although, from the posts on here describing the raunchy sex, I'm not gonna lie... i'm kind of rethinking my decision :bigsmile:

    I'm on chapter 5 of the second book. I LOVE them! I can't put it down. Aside from the Nicholas Sparks books I've never read anything as fast as these.
