    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? :love:

    What the ****.

    Halfway thru #3 and I hate it. I want to skip the sexy parts. Honestly, the link posted is EVERYTHING I've thought about the book summed up with hilarious gifs. I am only reading it now to say I did. And to spread the word of how craptastic the series is.

    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'm reading it at the moment. It's not THAT bad.
    I'm guessing you haven't gotten very far...or have a high tolerence for repetition.

    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 romantic

    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....

    Ditto!

    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.

    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... :wink:

    Yeah, but he's like (gasp) "SO hot" and his pants hang off him "THAY WAY" and I (gasp) 'can't believe he's interested in little old me" (blushes, flushes and more gasps) :huh:

    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.

    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! ;)

    I think the same about this being the Twilight some of the Twi-Moms really wanted!

    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.

    There are many Christian Greys in prison...just get yourself a pen pal...I'm sure you can change him too!
