    You're not alone, I've heard the grammar is like that of a 10 year old, which puts me off long before the incredibly silly 'mommy porn' content!

    Good bad or indifferent writing, I have no interest in reading the book.

    I haven't read that either, but not because it's dirty. I just have a problem that when everyone reads some book I don't feel like reading it. Same reason I haven't read Harry Potter.

    People talk about it too much, so I don't want to hear about it anymore.

    50 Shades of Potter was terrible.

    Oh, please don't lump those together! I don't want to think about Ron stalking Hermione and telling her what to eat all the time.

    I tried to read it just to be "in the know" with the trend, but, honestly, the writing sucked, so I cast it aside for a better book.

    I've not read it and don't care to, either. And, I like to read. But, I prefer mystery and/or horror or comedy, even romantic comedies, but eh at the soft core porn.

    No desire to read it. Wouldn't buy it and certainly wouldn't check it out at the library!!! YUCK!!

    I was supposed to read Twilight and 50 Shades for my bookclub. I think in both series I spent more time throwing the books across the room than reading them. I don't get either.

    Also, my mom's urban fantasy novels and regancy romances had more steamy sex scenes than 50 Shades. I don't get what is so shocking about them.

    I've never read it, but everyone keeps telling me to read it because they couldn't put it down. Haven't decided if I want to try it out or not.

    I sat down and tried to read it, got a few pages in and couldn't stop laughing. You're not missing anything.

    Same thing happened to me the first time I saw Terminator 3.

    LOL No...You are not the only one. I bought all 3 (stupidly) and only got to chapter 8 on the first book. I looking to sell all 3 now. Not my cup of tea as they say. The hype was better then the books

    Nope, not interested in them at all - again, not because of the sexual content but because they got such a slating for the quality of the writing. I am not a sheep and will not be following the herd just because a lot of other people are. Jaysus, if you want simmering passion and good writing get yourself a Thomas Hardy or Wuthering Heights, if you want to read trash then buy Jordan's books.

    DO NOT READ IT.
    Don't even get me started on it. I haven't read it, but I've read excerpts, and it's AWFUL. The porn is so miserably written it's not even funny.
    On top of that, it promotes an UNSAFE BDSM lifestyle. The main characters' relationship isn't BDSM, it's more of sexual abuse.

    There is better, free porn literature on the internet, that's all I'm gonna say.
