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

I liked them! First book I think was the best.

Ehhh I'm almost done reading the first book and I won't read any more. I started it out of curiousity and it's kind of interesting, but she repeats a lot and I tend to notice that.

That is one of those books that you would have to pay me to read. No thanks! :laugh:

as a male that actually sat and read the books, i thought they were quite good. sure its no literary masterpiece but it was definitely enjoyable. take out the "poorly written sex" as you call it (ive not read any books like it before) and i thought the story was quite good.

people say it was amatuerish in its writing, but i take that as being on par with the characters perspective, as written by a very naive type of person.

as can be seen from the end of the 3rd book, they are being rewritten from the male protagonists perspective. i think that would be an interesting read also. whether or not she actually completes them is another matter.

but, i am also the kind of person that is easy to entertain. it is very rare that a movie/book/tv show doesnt entertain me. sex and the city is probably the best example of something i dont like.

edit: you may be wondering why i would read it in the first place. simple. i was curious. the hype was massive on both the love and the hate side of things, with many of the haters being people that just jumped on the hate bandwagon without actually picking it up and reading it for themselves. i decided to read it to make up my own mind, rather than have my mind made up for me by people that cant even be bothered looking into it themselves.

People who need a book to spark the passion in a relationship seriously need to sit and *kitten* the situation on why your sex life got so boring.

I liked it, was not what i thought it was going to be and there was more of a story to it than i thought there was going to be .If you want prize winning writing then dont read it but just for entertainment value its great . x

Didn't like it. Couldn't get past the first half of book one. For me it was money wasted.

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:

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.

This. I haven't read them, and I might get around to it eventually just to make a truly informed decision, but in all likeliness, it will surely fall far below my standards. Twilight is bad enough; I somehow doubt that a derivative of Twilight will be any better.

Hated it. I actually couldn't finish it. I've been told that the writing improves on the next two books but if I can't even finish the first one......
