    Appropriate for non-prudish adults: yes, appropriate for teens: no.

    The books are ok, not great but not bad. If' you're read the first Twilight, take out the vampire/werewolf stuff and add in BDSM and you basically have the story. IMO, there are many books that are much better out there but 50 Shades is certainly the fad right now.

    whats BDSM?

    Well, when a man and a woman love each other very much and want to express that love in a slightly less vanilla manner than usual, they may participate in BDSM.

    Every time I go to the pool I see at least 5 women reading that book. I have no idea what it's about it, but I don't pay attention to the fads. I read books that sound interesting to me. Just because something is super popular does not make it good. Just look at Twilight. My god.

    Now THAT is some f*cked up reading right there! If you want BDSM and good writing, go for the Sleeping Beauty Trilogy. NOT my thing though... at all.

    If by 10x worse, you mean 10x better, yes, I agree.

    It's a really good series (for the most part) and you won't be able to put it down. Although I think it's the same idea as Twilight in the sense it centers around some plain-jane, vulnerable, innocent girl and the guy has a dark, sadistic side that's appealing and dangerous.

    Is it appropriate? That depends. For younger audiences, no it isn't. It's basically like some BDSM porno for about 1/3 (possibly more) of the book.

    It was a good read, however I found it to be immature and too much of the Twilight factor played into it. If you liked Twilight, you'll probably like the 50 Shades series


    I read online that the author wrote the books because she thought the Twilight books didn't have enough sex in them.

    Worst? It is more explicit...but it's better written than Shades.

    I highly recomend The Beauty Series as well though.

    It's that dark room in the corner of your local smut shop, the one that smells like leather and looks like fun.
