    George Takei. I can't read that daft twit saying "Oh, my" without hearing George Takei in my head.

    It's also just a very badly written book.

    To be honest, I read 3 pages while waiting in line at the grocery store. That was enough. The writing is friggen awful.

    with love ladies, you aren't really reading it to critique the writing are you:huh: ... I personally enjoyed it for what it was, smut, easy read with a hot kinky control freak male lead! I dig that lol and I will be going to see the film version when it arrives in the sunny UK!

    It certainly wasn't meant to be critically acclaimed so enjoy it for what it was...

    I liked it but I think the Crossfire serie by Sylvia Day is much much better.

    It's absolutely appalling. If you want erotic writing aimed at women, there are SO MANY other places to look. This trash is just rubbish. I don't think I have ever read anything so badly written....

    Poorly written, not even remotely researched, celebrates and romanticizes pedophilia of young teenage boys, romanticizes abuse. She confused domineering with dominant and aggressive with alpha. I can see so many young inexperienced women getting taken in by predators. Also, along with the movie I expect we'll see poorly designed toys with little to no instruction which should lead to a number of 911 calls/hospital visits.

    Ever since I learned it was originally Twilight fan faction, :sick: I decided that I would never bother. There are too many great books in the world to waste time on utter garbage.

    with all the other better written novels about this lifestyle, it baffles me why 50 shades of grey received the notoriety and popularity that it did. who, in fact, did the author sleep with to guarantee such success?

    I'm aware of the subject matter and wouldn't exert the energy required to even crack the cover!

    I will bet anyone 50 bucks that the lady who wrote that book has never watched porn or read any real erotica. 50 bucks!

    I pushed myself through 15 chapters and then just couldn't do it anymore .. I found it puerile ... there are so many better written books in the genre.
