    Hated it. Repetitive and bad writing. At the end of book 1, I actually cheered at the ending.

    The above blogger broke down every chapter in the first book. The blog was a much more interesting read then the books! I am by no means a literary genius, but 50 Shades was one of the top most terrible reads in my life (and I read a lot!)

    I think it's a crock of **** and not worth it at all. I have zero interest in them making a movie about this either. Some woman who doesn't know jack about herself and her body allows a sado masochistic man with mommy issues to do whatever he wants to her. The sex scenes weren't even that grand.I think it's for women who have borning sex lives.

    I thank god on a regular basis I got it from the library for my Kindle and didn't actually waste a single cent on it. I was on a trip with friends and reading it in my downtime, and they were laughing at me 'cause I'd keep groaning, "my GOD, how much longer is this dragging on???" And then I also cheered when I ended it. I know I could have stopped, but I kept waiting for all the racy sex scenes that everybody was talking about that they couldn't read in public. Maybe my copy didn't have them...? I found it poorly written, boring, and not at all true to the dom/sub relationship. I think it's appalling there is a movie being made of it.

    Hahahahaha! Amusing because the 50 shades trilogy started out as Twlight fanfiction!

    The book is poorly written, its basically a mills and boon love story with a bit of kinky ****ery. The thing that pisses me off most is that Erica knows the BDSM world far better than she portrays in these books - tying up with cable ties? WTF?!

    I don't have a problem with fanfic - some of the best erotic stories I've read (and written) are fanfic, although they tend to be real-person as opposed to TV show based.

    Ummm, repetative and boring after the 1st 100 pages. Didn't really understand why it would take a really screwed up guy to make a decent lover. Like you can't be creative in bed without being a crack baby? I won't be bothering with the last 2 books.

    I have it on good authority that in the BDSM community, every single one of those shades has a unique name.

    the only reason i love it is because it paved the way for more kinky stuff in the bedroom with my husband... sex has NEVER been better and i LOVE IT.

    You do realize that the entire basis of this story comes from Twilight? It started out as fan fiction. I agree with this lol

    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.

    lol you beat me to it.. oops

    These books were weak even in terms of porn, haha! I thought it might get better as I read on, nope.

    Somewhat childish writing in my opinion but who am I? ;)

    Cheers!
