Just take a good think and think if REALLY want a misogynistic, sexually abusive man. Really? Okay.0

I'd rather rip my own arm off and beat myself to death with it than read those books. There's plenty of free, well written erotica out there if you want to read something while you get your jollies. Unhealthy and co-dependent relationships are not a turn on.0
-
It is an erotica... it's basically book porn... so yeah plot? sucks... but really when watching actual porn do you expect amazing acting and a super intense plot? no, well it's the same with Erotica books... Either way I'm an avid reader of Erotica and many other types of books from very well known writers and I really liked the series. Compare it to many other erotica's... it was great! Compare it to some Danielle Steel, Jackie Collins, Stephen King etc... sucks!! People need to compare it to other books from the same genre...0

I prefer the Sleeping Beauty Trilogy! Anne Rice!0

Besides from the description of Christian Grey's personality...I'm quite sure I've already had a real life version of him, and that ended in a restraining order....not so romantic0
-
I don't see why people get so bent out of shape about this book lol. It's a BOOK. It's not REAL. It was not written with the purpose of giving you an intellectual orgasm. It's a smut, corny romance novel just like the billion Harlequin romances that came before it. It's just like Magic Mike. There was basically no plot and it randomly ended without tying up any knots but let's be real, no one went to go see it for the compelling storyline.0

Thanks for the hilarious review (I am quite the fan of gif-reviews... especially when they throw in one of David Bowie... which seems is often) and the chance to spare myself an atrocious read!0
-
Love that review!!! I was going to read the books, but then I downloaded the first chapter on my Kindle and couldn't get through it. I also read somewhere that she almost directly quotes Twilight a few times in the book. I guess people are reading this because Stephanie Meyer didn't give us a proper sex scene in Breaking Dawn!
I think the same about this being the Twilight some of the Twi-Moms really wanted!0 -
Hahaha... that review was hilarious!
I haven't read Fifty Shades of Grey; at least not in its entirety. I tried to, but I only made it halfway through before I just couldn't take it anymore. What I read was just awful. Both in writing and the anti-feminist messages strewn throughout. Ana is pathetic; worse than Bella from Twilight. I thought I couldn't find a worse male character after Edward Cullen, but Christian Grey makes Edward Cullen look like boyfriend of the year. I don't understand how women can be falling all over him; he's an abusive stalker who has serious issues. He forces Ana into this relationship that she may or may not want to be involved in using the excuse that she'll like it so it's okay. Um... no, its not okay. Just because she may like it doesn't mean he can do it to her.
I don't know much about BDSM, but I'm pretty sure that what Christan and Ana have is NOT how a BDSM relationship works; at least not a very healthy one. Based on what I've read, it appears that their "relationship" is an abusive one using the guise of being BDSM in order to make all the crap Christian does to Ana okay.
And, it being an Erotic novel is NO excuse for it being poorly written with a complete lack of plot. I've read my fair share of Erotica (free online) and I've read several that were well written and had a good plot that doesn't necessarily revolve around sex. It can be done.0 -
Read them and loved them. Though I have to admit by about the middle of book three I was craving more of a plot. But overall I really enjoyed them.
I just have one question............Where can I find my own personal Christian Grey?
There are many Christian Greys in prison...just get yourself a pen pal...I'm sure you can change him too!0 -
writting is horrid:sick:0

Why dont you people just have real sex?
What's "real" sex?0 -

^^This!!
I have read many Erotic books...this is on the list of crappyness!!!0 -
Love this review. I'm so sick of everyone saying it's the best book ever. I haven't heard ONE good thing from this book that would suggest it being even an okay book. No thanks. Will not read it and won't read it. Ever. If they ever do come out with a movie, I hope it bombs.0
-
I read all three and loved my Mommy porn. My husband didn't mind the affect it had either. Of course, highly unrealistic, but I still was addicted to Christian....
Pretty much this.0 -
I haven't read these books. I had been thinking about it, but every review that I have read for it has made it sound worse and worse. This review is hilarious though.0
-
Just watch this...it will cure you of ever needing to read this book.....

I prefer the Sleeping Beauty Trilogy! Anne Rice!
Now those I have read and loved every minute of. But then Anne Rice knows how to write (or did until she got all christian, then she lost me, Itried to read her Jesus books, but couldn't make through the first one :huh: )0 -
I liked the series but I didn't love the series. Anna is annoying and no man in reality would date her. Christian well he went from horrible to decent. I mainly read the series to see how his character would grow. His character is the only one who grows. If Kate could have been the main character I would have enjoyed the series more. I liked the storyline after the first book. I found the sex incredibly repetitive. And the authors writing style is atrocious. I hear the book had already been written called The Master of the Universe and then she went in and changed the names and a bit of the plot. Weather that's true or not I don't know. All in all I liked how the series came together and I was content with the series in the end. But there much about it I found rather annoying as well. I wouldn't recommend it.0

Unfortunately, I'm one of those kind of people that, once I start a series, I am incapable of not finishing it. So I'm currently slogging my way through the third installment. At this point, I just skim over the sex scenes. After all, I've read the same scene 5 billion times already.
I do find the "Oh my"s super fun to incorporate into everyday life, though.
He touched my arm, Oh My!
He looked my direction, Oh My!
I ate chocolate, Oh My!0 -

They had a stack of like 500 copies at Costco. I saw this lady looking at them, reading the back of the book. I walked up next to her and grabbed a book myself, she looked at me, then I troll faced her.0

I read the first one and getting ready to read the second one I liked it. It is very different then what I have ever read but it was a fun read.0
-
It's not the best written, but none the less, still a good read. I am on the second one and I am enjoying it.
A friend let me borrow "Broken" by Megan Hart, to show me the writing does get better, ( I have never read in the genre before) and all I can say is WOW now THAT is a good book!! I def. recommend it!!0
