50 Shades??

A friend of mine was running a half marathon and saw this on her way ....

How many have read this book?

I read all three in about a week as well, after I got past the shockingly graphic nature of it! Definitely worth the hype!!

i tooo read all three books in a week

I think I knew too much about it so it ruined it for me. I got 100+ pages in to the first one and couldn't go any further. I didn't think it was written all that well. After she used the "mouth pressed into a hard line” phrase for about the 14th time I lost it.

I hope this replies to the correct person... I AGREE!!! ROFL

IM halfway through the 2nd one..its good, I LOVE Christian...pretty tame though

I would be embarrassed to have them in my library. If you want to know what they're about, just google 'porn'. I'm not into 'naughty' books. They're empty plots, and a waste of time. There is nothing real about them. But if you're into that sort of thing, I guess you'd like them....

On another note, if you're looking for erotic fiction, just read an Anne Rice book. She is a huge Erotic fiction Author.

In possession of the series since a week but haven't started yet. Guess I should.

They were crap. I read them while I was on the treadmill. They at least passed the time.

Bared to you was no better. It's the like reading the exact same story.

I'm all for people reading erotica. Porn for the female mind. These just weren't my idea of good.

Google Anne Rice and see what she's written for erotica. In fact, I saw her books for sale in Target a couple of weeks ago. That shocked me.

I'm so happy i bought it cheap on kindle, because otherwise I would have been wasting about five extra dollars...

I got to the third chapter of book one and quit. There are so many BETTER AUTHORS. WHHHHYYYY was this in my favorite section of the bookstore when it doesn't even have a plotline?????

On a sidenote, Bared to You was okay. Just okay.

But seriously, Black Dagger Brotherhood will FOREVER be better...

(p.s. this is the tenth 50SOG thread at least, lol.)

I liked the books. It was fun to me. I did not think it was porn by any means. The only Dom parts were mild and only stories of what he COULD do with a newby to sex in general nd never really would do much of his "DOM" things so don't expect real full on Dom and submissive action. More like Dom and virgian girl who changes him from wanted to do it.
I still enjoyed it, sometimes it drags on to me but still liked the silly story in all.

Read all three.. just finished this week... and I am going through Christian Grey withdrawls!!

Though I'm gonna be honest - I work at my neighborhood pool, and I see middle aged suburban mommies sitting at the side of the pool reading porn while they watch their kids swim. Weirds me out a bit - especially when they make strange facial expressions when they're reading.

Agree. Disturbing.

You should SEE the things my husband and I do to eachother in our room while our kids are right outside the door watching TV. How disturbing is THAT? :laugh:

:blushing:

A guy who has issues with intimacy (due to his past) and is learning to trust with the help of a girl. And on the other end, a naive girl who is learning to push her boundaries in the name of love.

Having been in a similar relationship (as YOU put it, not what everyone raves about), I find this part interesting. I'm just starting the first one. Haven't gotten to the steamy parts yet. Watching Ana and Grey's relationship begin is like reading my own story. Telling him about it and having him see it too... priceless. :blushing:
I don't give a hoot about the writing. I've read amazing authors and lousy authors and it all comes down to what the story says to you, IMO.

I don't think I was ever more annoyed with a book. (I want to punch her inner goddess down...there)

But I suppose I can't say anything because I did read all 3.

Atleast it kept me entertained.

I have read the 1st and 2nd and struggling through the 3rd. I cringe every time I read "my inner goddess". :ohwell:

That and the words "oh my". XD
