    To begin with I thought it was terrible, then I got into the story, its quite a reasonable storyline, apart form the shockingly bad grammar, repetitiveness and terrible innuendos, I read all three because despite all of these annoyances, I wanted to find out what happens in the end!

    As for the "sexual" side of things, didn't rock my boat I'm afraid!

    Well I thought there was. Anyway, everyone has their own opinion of it, you might not have liked it but others did, I'm kind of neutral on the matter, I wanted to find out what happened but it was painful getting there will all the terrible "love" scenes. Other people think its wonderful, everyone has entitlement to their opinion and everyone will see things differently :)

    My wife read these books. Best two weeks of my life......

    Wow a man who finally enjoys the books without even reading them. LOL I'm not into all that BDSM stuff, but I found the books entertaining.

    I don't like it because people think that's hardcore BDSM and it's not. It's like intro to BDSM kiddie course.

    Agreed! After all it is based on teenage fan fic :)

    i read all three books thinking they would keep getting better with each one. but it was the exact opposite. the first book was the best, 2nd was boring and the 3rd was a disappointment. after all the good things i heard about it, maybe i was expecting too much. but it seemed like alot of stuff was repeated over and over.

    Hate it! I only read half the first book. It annoyed me. I didn't like so many traits about both characters and the girl just got on my nerves.

    Pretty sure it was meant for a Young Adult audiance based on the writing. For all those women out there that think Christian Grey is a great guy and are "madly in love with him" need to get their heads examined if that's the type of man you like. Please let my husband call me stupid and control my every move and I would enjoy wondering if I made him mad all the time and tip toe around his anger. That would be a lot better than the always sweet, loving, has me on a pedistal and I can do no wrong husband I have. I read the books out of pure curiosity to see if the main character actually got smart. Caught myself more than once physically rolling my eyes.
