    We talking bout the books that came to existance as twilight fan-fiction? I am all for BDSM, I trully am, I am all for more saucy books. I am. But there is not one word in "Twilight fan-fiction" sentence that I can like. I suspended my disbelieve for twilight books, I aint hurting my brain with this too.I get my sexy from Henry Millers writing f.e, or Anaïs Nin when i feel pretencious.

    I generaly discovered that giving in into book hype is in 80% of cases a bad idea. Oh god Dan Brown, that..unexisting plot, oh god , bad literature hurts all life :(

    Edit : Damn you double-negative, damn you to hell.

    Was this originally called the secret room? Because as a member of the BDSM community (not a horny housewife) that fan fict was great and really explained BDSM relationships well. I can't bring myself to read the book now that the hype it has discredited my lifestyle. :laugh:

    ...is an emotionally abusive psychopath from the worst "novel" I've ever had the displeasure of getting halfway through.

    Just sayin'

    You read more than I did. I made it a few pages when my brain started protesting the horrors of the words forced together awkwardly on the pages. It wasn't a novel, it was a word hostage situation.

    I love erotic literature but can't get through those books. I'd much rather read Anne Rice's Sleeping Beauty Trilogy.

    is driving me crazy!

    When I first read this I thought it said "Christian Grey is driving Miss Daisy"

    Which is wrong on so many levels...

    Now THAT i would read!

    Found nothing attractive about a character like Christian Grey....emotionally challenged, control freak....no, HECK NO

    I'll just drop this nugget of awesome here: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/340987215

    Pretty much summed up my thoughts on this book.

    The problem with that review is that it makes me want to read the books so I can laugh at them. And I don't want the publisher getting any of my money!!!

    All I have to say about this book is the following:

    That one bathroom scene :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick:

    Also, I'm infuriated that, if I can't find someone from whom to borrow the other 2 books, that I have to buy them to find out what happens. I'm already pissed that I spent money on the first book :grumble: :angry:

    I think it didn't accurately portray the scene as I know it. Besides, it was written at something like an 8th grade level.

    If that's eighth grade level, eighth graders have gotten a lot dumber since I was 14.

    THIS!!!! I have 1 chapter left and I want to punch the author in the face for feeding this crap to women! The Christian Grey character is mentally F**KED and even tells Anastasia he is, but the author basically tells the reader "its ok if you fall in love with an *kitten*, because DEEP DOWN they are really struggling with something and they REALLY want to be better, so just deal with him hitting you until he's figured it out"....Every time I pick this book up it makes me angry....i wont even get into the annoyance of the "inner godess" BS....

    and if you are asking why a man is reading trashy romance, it BC everyone is raving about this book and my little sister was telling me how is made her blush, so I had to see what all the hype was about. I'm so pissed she read this crap...

    Haha. That's fair. I felt like typing "6th grade", but thought maybe I was being too harsh.

    I may not be the best person for judging, since I was watching and understanding Shakespeare when I was 5 (I may barely be able to add 2+2, but English is my thing!), but Alice in Wonderland is written much better and at a much higher level than 50 Shades, and I read that when I was 7, so about second grade.

    Oh, Carroll was brilliant! "Don't step on the mome raths."
