Has any one the fifty shades series? I'm finishing up book 3. What do you think?

    I gotta get my hands on those ;) My boss raves about them, and says they're a page turner.

    I just stared the second book. I enjoy the escape but you have to take it for what it is - bubble gum for the brain. It's fun!

    I agree chlipod, it was a good escape. But like any erotic novel or romantic comedy movie, I tried to take it for what it is: escapism, because sometimes I did find myself getting "emotionally involved".


    I found the girl, Ana, to be very annoying at times. But then again she was only 22 years old. I like the idea of a strong male significant other, but at times the book just seemed like it was almost too fake. Or maybe I was just jealous?! LOL

    so true...i sped through the first 2 books, and this last one seems to be too much. But escapism isn't all that bad. It's nice to get a taste of the "good life". A part of me got caught up, a part of me enjoys a nice steamy romance. Christian gets on my nerves s/t a little more than Ana. I thought she handled the emotionally damaged man quite well, witout losing herself in his riches. (not trying to do any spoilers, sorry)

    I bought it but haven't started reading yet.

    I heard Alexander Skarsgard might play the lead in the movie, which has just been green-lit. *Drooling*

    Alexander Skarsgard. Mmmmmmm... good thing a new season of True Blood starts soon! Now I need an Eric fix!
