    it's utter badly written, ignorant on the subject, badly researched, a 10yr old could do better, sh*te

    I'm ashamed to say I liked them. She is a terrible writer.

    The book was entertaining, not the best writing but there are 3 in the series! plus someone else suggested the Sookie Stackhouse books (the books aren't as graphic the HBO show though). The HBO version is called True Blood:)

    I too read all three 50 shades......a friend of mine told me to read "Bared to you" by Sylvia Day. I just started it, i think it is going to be good!

    Have you read the Sookie Stackhouse series? Those are good.

    I haven't read 50 Shades of Grey...however I agree with the comment above...Charlaine Harris' Sookie books are good. At first I found it hard to get into but then after a chapter or two I was completely hooked.... There are over 12 books in the series I think so that should keep you going for awhile.

    Another good vampire series is the Chicagoland Vampires....
    Have you read Hunger Games? While there is no $ex there is romance...

    No it's not very well written or realistic!
    I see what the author was trying to do but she did not succeed hopefully the film has a better variety of vocabulary of than 'oh Anna'
    'he murmurs' 'she murmurs'

    I heard Bared To You by Sylvia Day was supposed to be a lot like 50, but I haven't begun reading it yet. I LOVED 50 Shades of Grey!!!

    Laurell K. Hamilton is super smutty. Two thumbs up!

    It's funny to me how everyone is slamming her for being a "bad" writer. A woman's first hand at a novel must be excellent, Tolstoy level writing? Not to mention it's a guilty pleasure book, she's not trying to give insight on the economic free fall!

    I took it for what it was, a fun, get away read!

    The Sleeping Beauty series by A.N. Roquelaire (Anne Rice) very smutty

    Totally agree with this recommendation. Very well written books with a lot of edgy sexiness.

    Also, if you're into vampire novels, Anne Rice's first three vampire books are outstanding. The whole series is good, but there are a lot of books in the series. Her series starting with The Witching Hour is also good.

    Big fan of her work.

    I couldn't get through the first 50 Shades book. It was horrible, and I hated Christian Grey.

    Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire is a really good book! I also like Emily Griffin as an author.

    I'm on the second book .. It's all a little "teenager-ish" reading in my opinion with sex scenes thrown in wherever they want ... But, okay to pass the time at work when there's nothing to do!! HAHA!

    Happy reading!

    Have you read the Sookie Stackhouse series? Those are good.

    I would definitely suggest this to you.

    50 shades wasn't good. I liked the writing style and pedantry, but take out the sex scenes and there was almost no story left. Boring.


    The book has however encouraged me to write a book someday, who needs a plot to write a best seller if I just load it up with romance and sex.
