    I loved the series, couldn't put it down. I do know it wasn't the best writing but I still enjoyed it.
    Not sure why people have to be so rude and put others down who like the book.. Pretty childish.

    I read all of them..The last book I will say was a lil slow but all together it was great! I wish it didnt end because no books will ever compare I feel . It is depressing!

    I read safe haven by nicholas sparks.. Kinda like sleeping with the enemy.
    It's people like this who make me fear for the world.

    50 Shades and Nicholas Sparks as the best books in the world? I sincerely hope that you just read so very little that you have never read anything else.

    And then there are those of us who readily acknowledge that the books are so poorly written that they are laughable but still enjoy reading them because of the way they make you feel. Sometimes it is OK to be a dumb, giggly, horny, bobblehead in your imagination for a few hours out of your life.

    Read on sisters!! Any book is better than no books at all. :wink:

    This! +++ Yes! I like to "read" Real BOOKS that are well written, but I liked this book and that's OK too!

    And I think, the fact that the series, just like True Blood, The Hunger Games and Twilight, got people who haven't read in years back into reading is awesome. Also think its fun, that the book, got us girls talking, and giggle with our girls about bedroom stuff... like we were in high school (was especially nice to get my girl friend who has been in the hospital for six months feeling better and get her mind off not being home with her children.) And maybe if it got us spicing things up in the bedroom, maybe not dominance stuff, but having a little more creativity... then the books are great!

    If you like intrigue with a bit of smut, try the Fever series by Karen Moning.

    This or her Highlander series.

    This is a terrible book! It's very poorly written (originally a Twilight fan fiction if I understand correctly). The characters are paper thin and aren't believable at all; Christian Grey is a 26 year old chief executive who just happens to be a billionaire, with his own helicopter and jet. In his spare time he is trying to bring about world peace and end famine. However, you will soon discover that he is nothing more than a psychotic rapist who carries a never ending supply of "foil packets" and only converses with people by "murmuring" to them. In fact I'm not sure how he manages to hold conferences as a CEO since the people at the back would never be able to hear him. The problems with the female character are too probably too rude to mention on here but they soon become apparent :)

    Only read if you fancy a laugh, but don't if you get annoyed easily!

    I'm reading Bared to You by Sylvia Day. Almost a better story and VERY hot!!! Christian Grey or Gideon Cross...? I can't decide!!!!! LOL

    Gideon Cross,,hands down! lol. Seriously, Bared to you is much better written, in my opinion. I liked the 50 shades series but didn't love it.

    I'm almost done with the Claiming of Sleeping Beauty (book 1 of the trilogy). Not sure how I feel about it. But I keep reading. Nothing like 50 tho. LOL But like I said, I can't stop reading it. Need to see what happens even if it is very strange.

    This is reality!!! Too GREAT!!! I love it. I read the first book and loved it. The second one I bought as an audible and can't get into it... somehow having a woman narrator 'talking' like Christian Grey; just doesn't do it for me.

    I found it so repetitive and predictable so I never finished it. Everyone else I know seemed to love it!

    This was my opinion exactly.

    Plus the fact that the female character is sooo naive, that he has to explain that 'she expands too' when she gawks at the size of his ****. And she has a serious adversion to the word *kitten*. Seriously, she refered to it as 'her bottom' :huh:

    Basically the author has tried to romanticize a physically and emotionally abusive relationship, and sadly it looks like many people have fallen into her trap.
