Anyone who wants a true/funny/harsh review of 50 Shades should read this one: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/340987215
I've read all three and I must say that it's all utter crap. If you like it, whatever...but it's total garbage. :flowerforyou:0 -
50 Shades is great i've read the first two so far, so is the Fever Series by Karen Moaning, the Sookie Stackhouse series is good i've heard Bared to you by Sylvia day is good and similar but i have not read it yet the Black Dagger Brotherhood is also a good paranormal series with lots of good smut lol there is also the Merry Gentry series by Anita Blake smutty fairies lol and Riley Jenson Series by Kari Arthur smutty shifters/werewolves i'm a bit of a book smut expert especially when it comes to paranormal0

allmost anything by Jean Auel,
allso the dark hunter books very good
also read most of 50 shades.....it sucked:huh:0 -
50 Shades was an awesome series! I too was left wondering what to read. I started a series called House of Night. I am loving them very addicting, they are somewhat Twilight-ish (teen vampire romance)
I have got them all from my local library, #10 comes out in October.0 -
Have you read the Sookie Stackhouse series? Those are good.
I love that series0 -

I enjoyed them as well... yes, not the best writing however I am easily entertained. I think anything that can take me away from the reality of my life is pure enjoyment! I enjoyed the Twlight series as well... crazy but again toooook me far away from bills, childrem husband, and a the chaos called my life! I suggest the Vampire Academy Series by Richelle Mead. There are 6 books in all (thick-Twlight length +) Then another character made a new series which currently has 2 novels in the series... 3rd comes out next Spring. Not as sexual as 50.... but a great read.... sad when it ended!

Anyone read this? I just finished and thought it was awesome! Im kinda depressed because now i have nothing to read or look forward to read, lol. Anyone know of any books similar to twilight, 50 shades if grey or anything like mitch alboms books?
Read Bare to You by Sylvia Day. I know what you mean, I get depressed when books are over. Oh, also read JR Ward, Black Dagger Brotherhood. The first is Dark Lover, you'll love it. Happy reading!
Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunters are good too.0 -
Fanfiction websites. Better writing, better characters, better dirty scenes... some of them written by inexperienced fifteen-year-olds. But I don't think it's too hard to beat something that began as Twilight fanfiction. But that's just ~~my opinion~~.0

How many of these threads are there going to be?
The book SUCKED. The sex SUCKED. The BDSM was far from real life. The writing was poor. Anna was a wishy washy girl who, if I didn't know she was supposed to be in her twenties acted like she was thirteen. I found it hard to believe that she had never been kissed, never touched herself and didn't know what all those "strange and tingly feelings DOWN THERE were. I found it to be incredibly sophomoric. Truth be told I skimmed through the book looking for the good parts -- which didn't exist -- and didn't even bother with the rest of the series.
I love what you have written here! I'm about halfway thru the book. It's absolutely horrible. I may not even finish it. Don't know how many more "inner goddess" crap I can take. I've read elsewhere that readers are referring to the sex scenes as "tantalizing," "arousing," "erotic," etc. I'm finding them repetitive, lame, lackluster, juvenile and boring. And...it's set in the Pacific Northwest. Really? Uhm...we in the PNW don't talk like that. There's a bit too much Brit-speak there, in my opinion. About the BDSM...I wouldn't know how far off the author is about that. I am def taking your word for it! I've read comments on other forums from BDSM-experienced people, and they are saying the same. Seems like the author should have taken the advice that "Christian" gave to "Anastasia." Which was "Do you research." I won't be reading the other books.0 -
LMAO LOVE the 50 Shades of Reality! That's awesome!0
-
Yes, the second book was the best!0
-
Yes I have read all 3 of them! Don't know how the movie is going to be though lol.
The movie is going to be like a porno.0 -
I weep for humanity.0

I agree. The Black Dagger Brotherhood has become one of my favorite series to read. I'm actually in the process id re-reading them right now!0 -
I have seen excerpts of this nonsense floating around on the internet and it terrifies me, for a few reasons. First, it started off as Twilight fanfiction. I have nothing against fanfiction (how could I? I write it myself), but I have everything against Twilight (and yes, I did indeed read Twilight back in the day, when I was a 16-year-old-girl who thought it romantic--and then again in a college class, where I was finally disillusioned by the terrifyingly poor prose, ugly plot and character development, and undertones of sexism and racism). Second, those I know who have read it have been horrified by how it portrays a D/s relationship, because it is unequivocally incorrect. Third, erotica is awesome. Poorly written erotica is not.
Read something...else. For the sake of your brain. :flowerforyou:0
