50 Shades of Grey....Love it or Hate it?

LowFatMama

LOVE LOVE LOVED It !!! Read all 3 twice and just might read again for a 3rd time! My husband was a VERY happy man as well

Reaaaaally love it! The bad thing is that my expectations about men are really different right now... Where is my Grey?

Awwe.... we say the same thing when we watch porn. :laugh: :flowerforyou:

Bawahahahahahahaha...... :laugh: :drinker: :smokin: :bigsmile:

I love it... but then again, I'm a 19 year old girl... what do i know?

Halfway through the first book. Reads like the Twilight series with alot of anatomy and sexual phrases thrown in. I'm not sure yet.......

Heard bad reviews so it piqued my curiosity thinking How bad could it be? Got the playaway version. Made it about halfway. DULL!!

I am a lifelong reader, and I think I can safely say by now that I am a fair judge of good writing and an all-around good book. That being said, I have NEVER read a more pathetic attempt at literature, in my entire LIFE. The characters were underdeveloped and vapid, the storyline was ludicrously fantastical and unrealistic, and the writing itself was juvenile and repetitive, repetitive, repetitive, repetitive, repetitive, repetitive, repetitive, repetitive, repetitive, repetitive, repetitive....well, you get the idea.

Garbage. GARBAGE! I'd rather read nothing but Twilight for the rest of my life than ever have to read anything that bad ever again.

They make me weep for humanity.

LOVED IT!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you are a sex prude-you won't like it. But if you are open minded and like to have fun you will LOVE IT

What do you expect from FAN FICTION????

Not many people seem to know this was originally TWILIGHT FAN FICTION!! Then it was picked up and changed to remove everything related to Twilight.


Seriously.....how could ANYONE like this.....I've read some of it, and it's so poorly written it's like a teenager with a hard-on picked up a pen and wrote it.

lol you beat me to it.. oops

I have a friend who writes fan fic and is a brilliant writer.

HATE!!

I read and I write GOOD PORN. the kind that is well-written, edited and (even in a fantasy setting) has realistic sex. 50 Shades had NONE of that.

Vomitous trash.

^^
If it was well written and less violent, yeah, it would have been a good book.

i don't mind BDSM stories, but when the author can't be bothered to google for so much as a SAFE WORD, then NO!

if you want good BDSM porn, go read the Sleeping Beauty series by Anne Rice, writing as A. N. Roquelaure

YES! Awesome Books! Love The Sleeping Beauty series!

LOVED THEM!!!

I enjoyed reading all 3. That Christian Grey is something else. Whew!!!

There are much better erotica writers out there. I thought 50 Shades was weak, unimaginative and too redundant to be sexy.

Also - seemed to be written on an 8th grade reading level. Even the author doesnt get why its so popular...

I am slowly making my way through the first one at the insistence of my friends. And if I have to read about Ana's inner goddess or subconscious or becoming flush one more time I might puke. My biggest criticism is how unbelievable the storyline is-- what early 20s girl who has just finished college and never had a sexual relationship would agree to this arrangement? And then to have such great success reaching climax on the first try?

I'll probably finish this one, but I don't know if I can get through the last two. At least I got them on loan from the library -- I would have been very upset if I had paid for them.

Not well written, but entertaining

xxloveiswarr

Still have a love/hate relationship with the whole series particularly the first book. My friend let me borrow it and i returned it the next day saying how disgusted i was with the ending and questioning how there could even be a second book, but she coaxed me into reading the second and the lines of love/hate blurred again. I wouldn't say its the best writing ever, or the best love story ever, but I'd say it's definitely interesting.

sirrah17

Forgot to include this ~

The one part I did enjoy is the banter between Ana and Christian via email. If the entire book were written in that mode, I may have enjoyed it more.

SusieGirlRN

Read all of them because of all of the hype & kept thinking it had to get better - haha! Did not impress me at all :yawn:

pullipgirl

I'd rather read the tale of scrotie mcboogerballs than this

lilmisfit

I enjoyed it as entertainment, but great literary work it was not.

rmsrws

Very entertained while reading the series. Now I am over it! .....But my hubby was happy for a week!

Serenstar75

I won't even bother reading it. I have better things to do with my time and I'm not into that kind of "story."

girlwapp

Loved it. Largely because we turned it into a drinking game, (1 shot every time she flushes, waterfall when they have sex that ends in mutual orgasm, etc.) and we ended up doing some very interesting partially clothed attempts at re-enactments (because sometimes things just didn't make mechanical/logical sense). Only safer, because cable ties? Yeah, that's what rapists use; that **** will scar you.

If it makes women (or men) feel free to embrace the kinkier side of ****ing, great. But hopefully no one is using this as a handbook, because it's just terribly, terribly wrong. He's abusive, she's a doormat. They have boring sex. Onwards.

I started reading the first one (someone gave me all three downloads) and I can't get through it. It feels to me as though it were written by a 12 year old.

Now I am intrigued --- the ending sucks? Will keep reading because I thought I knew where it was going, but maybe I don't after all.

Read 1 and 2 - book three wasn't even good. Book 2 was my favorite.

The Sleeping Beauty series is awesome...and if you're not feeling the urge to read a book...I suggest watching Secretary. Dang good movie.

memcd911

I am thankful that I read them quickly. I can't imagine wasting more than 6 days of my life on these 3 trite books. Nothing imaginative or exciting about any of them.

Reading the phone book was better.

BluenoserChick

Twilight fan fic edited to change the names -- poorly edited, poorly researched and badly written. About a stalker and his non-entity object of affection. Absolute garbage.
