    I could read the entire series over and over and over. I have heard there will be a movie as well--Ryan Gosling to portray Christian, but then again, that's just hearsay--But I hope it's true :wink:

    I've heard it's basically bored housewife "porn", and not at all based on anything that realistically resembles true BDSM or D/s... also, it was written as a fanfic spinoff of Twilight. I won't be reading it.

    50 shades of grey?

    Sounds like what the walls used to look like when I was decorating the house. The ex could never make up her mind what shade she liked! :explode:

    Is it a DIY manual?:wink:

    If you enjoyed that and even if you didn't and would rather like a mystery/suspense with some sexy action in it read Now you See Her by Linda Howard. It's a fantastic mystery novel but they get really down and in it when it comes to the included intimacy scenes lol.

    I read the first two books. Big mistake.

    The writing was horrid. It wasn't even about bondage, more like emotional abuse. The main character, the female, was NOT strong. She was a weakling who turned into jello at the knees just because Mr. Grey was supposedly rich and hot. He was ridiculously rich. He was such a turn-off. The author tried to get 'shocking' and graphic, but it was ridiculous. The two bondage scenes were a joke...

    There are several, several, SEVERAL lines that are repeated over and over...used, washed, rinsed, repeat...it was like reading the same thing over and over again. I read the second book hoping for some kind of...redemption, redeeming... something..all I got was a massive disappointment. What a waste of money!

    I did look up spoilers on part 3, and am sooo glad I did not read it.

    For the most accurate review EVER on all three books, I would suggest this site:

    http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/340987215

    It's so freaking hilarious, honest, and on point. I was laughing so hard because everything she said was true.

    Horrible books. Lame, lame.

    "We aim to please."
    *gag*

    I had to drag myself through the first book just to see what all the hype is about. Definitely NOT going to read the second or third ones. If you want a good BDSM book, read A. N. Roquelaure (aka. Anne Rice) "The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty" series.

    Doesn't the female character saw "Holy Crap!" about a zillion times as well?

    The better question would be who hasn't read it, or the other authors ripping it off....Or just Twilight in general.

    It makes me seriously question the intelligence of my own gender. If any woman finds Christian Grey to be an attractive prospect, I have to question their sensibilty. He's an abusive douche. Might explain why so many women put up with terrible relationships these days.


    So, in short...I did not care for it.
