Okay I've heard a lot about this series, both good and bad. Thought I'd see what the hype is all about. Anyone want to read the first one with me?

    I read the series. The first one wasn't bad. Interesting and erotic but by the 3rd one I couldn't wait to be done.
    Can you say 'PREDICTABLE'?

    I am half way through the first one now & I love it...I can't wait to start reading the next one! It's not for everyone....some people are all hearts and flowers & some enjoy things a little spicier. To each their own.

    I am by no means hearts and flowers, I just found that certain words such as "Holy" were used WAY too much!! If you want good smut try the Sleeping Beauty series by Anne Rice penned under A.N. Roquelaure There is absolutly NO HEARTS AND FLOWERS there, it makes 50 Shades look like a kindergarten class, and its well written to boot.

    I read the first one and won't be reading the rest. The sex scenes are mediocre, the main character is annoying (her inner goddess needs a punch in the face), and certain things are too repetitive. It definitely seems like one of those polarizing books!

    Off to order the Sleeping Beauty series...love Anee Rice, and had never heard of these! Didn't even make it halfway through 50 Shades before giving it up....not my style...

    Fifty S of G is Fan Fic.The author is a Stephanie Myers/Twilight fan and the stories were originally written with Twilight characters. Fans of that urged her to publish them and low and behold....Fifty was born. It does nothing but use inaccurate stereotypes and insipid language for the BDSM community which is sooo inaacurate it makes me sad.
    The Beauty series by Anne Rice was fabulous!!! Read that for something better!

    I read the first book. I enjoyed it but I'm not in a rush to read two and three. Anna got on my nerves a bit but I loved Christian.

    She had not heard or experienced a lot of things that were in the books..very entertaining:)) I told her maybe she should introduce some of the things in the book into real life..people enjoy different things..different strokes for different folks

    The Beauty series are better than shades of grey..I have read them at least 2 times..I would advise the beauty series over 50 shades..

    So is the main character supposed to be Bella and Christian is supposed to be Edward?

    I enjoyed the Fifty Shades trilogy. Quick easy reads that I couldn't put down.

    Even better is Cherise Sinclair Masters of Darkhaven or just about anything else she's written.

    I read the first one. It was entertaining and erotic, but not noteworthy. And I agree that it was repetitive. Personally, I didn't like the constant references to her "inner goddess". Other than that I liked it.
