    Erotica is erotica, and 50 shades, is not my kind. Skimmed through it, couldn't do it, but then again I rarely read anything written past 2000

    I am halfway through the first book and have been halfway through the first book for a few months now lmao! I like the story line-ish, but the "dirty" stuff is...well, as an author, I am disappointed in it.

    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.

    What's wrong with bored housewife porn? I'm not at all bored....or a housewife....or a wife at all....And I found it entertaining for what it was. If you're going into it expecting some great classic work of art, you won't find it in 50 Shades of Grey. If you go into it looking to be entertained, I'm sure your nether regions will love you for it! :drinker:

    And its clear you haven't read the books as it has absolutely nothing to do with Twilight in any way shape or form 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:

    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*

    This! :flowerforyou: The female character seriously made me want to punch her. There is nothing sexy about weak women!! Grey was a total @$$hole, he wasn't a dom, he was nothing but an abusive tool, to put it as nicely as possible

    And I quote, from Wikipedia: "The Fifty Shades trilogy was developed from a Twilight fan fiction originally titled Master of the Universe and published episodically on fan-fiction websites under the pen name "Snowqueen's Icedragon". The piece featured characters named after Stephenie Meyer's characters in Twilight, Edward Cullen and Bella Swan. After comments concerning the sexual nature of the material, James removed the story from the fan-fiction websites and published it on her own website, FiftyShades.com. Later she rewrote Master of the Universe as an original piece, with the principal characters renamed Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele and removed it from her website prior to publication."

    I love porn. Give me porn and I am happy for hours! 50 shades was not porn. 50 shades was a whiny little girl who got together with a total d1ckhead of a wanna-be man and the books are the story of their sexual escapades.

    Then again, I guess maybe my expectations were just way too high :grumble:

    Just leaving this nugget of awesome here: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/340987215


    It is poorly written DROSS. The good reads review above is far superior to the actual book.

    Go and read some good smut! If you want a love story and bdsm, I recommend the Sleeping Beauty trilogy by Anne Rice (under Anne A. N. Roquelaure).

    But 50 shades is 50 shades of ****e.

    Makes ur lady bits do flip flops. That is all.
    I couldn't disagree more. I liked to books, but I never thought it was "so hot" or anything. I like that the girl is a smartass and that the guy learns to deal w/his demons. As for the sex...meh. I'd rather live it out than read about it. JS

    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.

    ooh, SNAP! :D
