    I didnt even find it that shocking so I am wondering what that says about me. I kept thinking, when we will get to the part that is going to make me blush and it didnt happen. By the 3rd book I found it so repetitive . I mean didnt she get chaffed from all that action?

    The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty is 10x worse than 50 Shades of Grey.

    Hmmm.... is it atleast better written? As in not using the same phrases and adjectives multiple times in a row?

    Anything HAS to be better written than 50 Shades. Seriously. And you aren't kidding about the same phrases over and over again..."Oh my poor fifty" and I was REALLY tired of hearing about what her "inner goddess" was doing by the end of the first book. I mean seriously...who has an inner goddess that glares and does back flips? LoL

    I completely agree with this. Again, I loved the steamy scenes and the email exchanges.

    But:
    Wanton.
    Oh My.
    Laters, Baby.
    Inner Goddess.
    REPEAT!!

    I can't get down with the butt plug pony play, etc in SB Trilogy. :grumble: To each their own, it was just a bit much for me to handle.

    I don't even see how it can be compared to 50 Shades, honestly. One is repetitive lightly graphic mommy porn (and horribly written, even by the authors admission). The other is full out sex slave erotica (and yes, very well written).

    i'm glad we're friends.

    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?


    You don't need to read this book for the following reasons:

    1. You like Twilight
    2. You don't know what BDSM is
    3. It's a horribly written book
    4. Magic Mike is almost out
    5. You like Twilight

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA. I just spit out my water laughing.

    Couldn't agree more. She was a virgin that never masturbated and orgasm-ed in minutes from her first encounter.

    Oh, yeah, sorry... spoiler and stuff.

    And by that you mean 10x better. And 100x better written.

    I thought this said "50 Shades of Gay". Now I'm seriously dissapointed.


    In all seriousness, the reason it's like a "poorly written Twilight" is because it IS A POORLY WRITTEN TWILIGHT. It was written as an INTERNET FAN FICTION of Twilight. The names were changed to avoid copyright issues. *facepalm* So if you like melodramatic women with self esteem issues clincing to overbearing and controlling men with some porn/lol/ thrown in - this book is for you!

    i just have to step up on this for a min - i am a fanfic writer and not ALL fanfic is bad. is there some srs crap out there written by confused 12 yo's? yes. but there's also a LOT of really exceptionally-written, well-characterized, beautiful stories. and most of them have porn. i'm talking the GOOD porn.

    i have been in competiton for awards where the writing level was so amazing that i couldn't believe my pure, dumb luck at being in consideration.

    50 Shades isn't well-written, it's the bad porn, and i have no idea how it got published.

    but just b/c something starts as fanfic does NOT mean that it's not good.

    I really enjoy fan fiction. That's why I was excited about this, but it just didn't seem good to me.

    I have read some GREAT Harry Potter and Buffy (I'm a huge huge dork) fan fictions!! Some of my favorite "steamy reads" have come from this genre! :wink:

    I couldn't get into this book because the story was so awful and unbelievable. I guess it would make a good humor book because the "plot?" is laughable.

    But I guess that's like most pornos.. you don't watch for the story, just like people don't read this book for the story.

    Maybe then the sucess of this book is a good thing. I for one had never heard of fanfiction. Maybe it will create bigger opportunities for Fanfic writers, no?
