    I read them all and have mixed feelings. The story itself was ok; not great. The main characters were irritating to me. And the sex scenes got boring. I started skipping them because it was the same thing over and over.

    I've wanted to read this so bad! My boyfriend wasn't super pumped when I said I wanted to ready it though. He didn't want me reading some porn novel without him. lol. Is it really that bad? I have only heard good things about it...

    I loved them!! <3 I'm very interested in how they will turn this series into a movie that can be seen in the theatres...It will have to skip all the good parts!

    Oh and my choice for Mr Grey is totally Colin Egglesfield. *droooooool* ha! Who is yours?

    I just had to google this Colin Egglesfield you mentioned. Oh MY!!!! Why have I not EVER seen this beautiful specimen before now. Yes, I have to agree with you, he'd be a perfect Christian Grey. Oh my!!! Just got a little warm, that's all :blushing:

    He's in that movie, Something Borrowed. It wasn't that great of a movie but he's the lead guy....worth it for that. I could see him as Christian.

    The first and second books were great! I'm in the midst of reading the third.

    I'm usually not into novels like 50 Shades, but I've really been enjoying them! :bigsmile:

    The only part that really annoys me is that she "ALWAYS" has an O. Really??? LOL

    I wish he would always wear his ripped jeans too. LOL. I have him pictured in my mind.

    I did think about him myself, but he doesn't seem strong enough to play the Dominant Christian...

    I am reading them and I have to say three things niggle me.

    1. they are VERY repetitive - "foil packet" "inner goddess" - blah blah blah.

    2. there is a general impression, throughout book 2 that Christian is only kinky because he is damaged, this seems pretty kink negative to me

    3. What kink there is, is very, very tame. A bit of spanking and some love eggs, really! I do that most weeknights. :-P

    I'll finish them, because i am interested to see if the kink-negativity works itself out, but I have a horrid feeling that they will marry, have children and live vanilla for evermore.

    I love you. This is exactly how I felt. I am done with them and have been for a while, but I have to say- I wasn't thrilled with the story.

    LOVE 50 Shades of Grey!!! I'm on the 3rd book. I read the first one very quickly. I even stayed up all night one Saturday night reading it! Lol! Then finished the 2nd pretty quick too. I think they are very good, very hot, and I like the humor in them too. But they are definitely not for everyone.

    I just started it and I have to voice some of my annoyances (mind you I am not very far into it):

    1. While I totally believe that a twenty something year old can still be a virgin what I fail to believe is that she's never been kissed properly, she's never been turned on and she's never masturbated.

    2. I'm getting a little tired of hearing about how he makes things move down there

    3. I found it comical that she was all "OMG is that DESIRE that I feel down there?!

    For the love of god use some raunchy, nasty words to describe it!

    I'm writing my first erotic fiction novel and trust me. The words and the sex is a lot hotter and raunchier than what I've read so far.

    Or maybe I'm just a wicked dirty girl. :wink:

    Yes a little repetitive but the images are so good in my mind. Then again, maybe I too am just a wicked dirty girl!!
