    I have not read it yet, however this weekend my BFs mother suggested I read it. From what I have heard, I felt very uncomfortable with her telling me this!!!

    Ummmmm - ya. I would have been, too! Weird! Almost as weird as the time my MIL talked to me about... ummm... well... nevermind? Some people. In all seriousness tho - Make sure BF is nearby when reading... you may-just-NEED-him ;)

    Yep, it's awesome. Bought the book on Sunday about 3 weeks ago. By the Tuesday I'd also read 50 shades darker and 50 shades freed. Couldn't put them down!

    I read about half of it. It's ridiculous. Ridiculously bad. And like I've said before, I liked Twilight, so my standards are low.

    Women are idiots if that's the kind of man they find attractive. He's a *kitten* supreme. But then, from my experience, most women are attracted to a-holes and then wonder why their love life sucks. But I digress...

    I also guess I'm pretty vanilla because that kind of...um...preference does nothing for me. Nada.

    And now I have to deal with dumb women commenting on every picture of a hot dude on Pinterest with "OOOOhh my choice for '50!'" Gag me.

    Borrowed it from a friend & LOVED IT! I've already ordered books 2 & 3... waiting for them to arrive. Can't wait!

    I read it. Did you read the trilogy? It was okay, it is like a Harlequin novel with descriptive BDSM sex. I want to hit her (which she'd probably like) every time she says "oh my" and every time she says "holy."

    I have read all three and loved the series but i was kinda disappointed wasnt what i was expecting from all the hype.

    I heard about it, and went online to see if I could get a preview of the book. Got through the first 10 pages without even blinking, then they left out a couple pages. I was so disappointed. I am curious to see how this series is, so most likely will be getting the actual books and reading them. It kept me totally glued to my computer.

    You mean 50 Shades of Porn?

    Loved all 3...awsome quick mindless read. I think there will be a lot of babies due in about 9ish more months.

    I just started it yesterday and got about 180 pages in. So far, nothing too exciting, but I have a freakier-than-most sex life, so nothing can shock me, except perhaps how poorly written it is - it's like mommy porn at a third-grade reading level.

    The thing that grosses me out is my administrative assistant highly, HIGHLY recommended it to me. She's my mom's age and I'm just eeked out by how much she went on and on about how she STRONGLY recommends I read it. Eeew.

    hehehe...I actually have the book at my office. I am re-reading it because I raced through it the first time I read it. If my bosses weren't here I would do a "storytime" hour for the other ladies in my office. It's terrible literature, but a fun "stupid" book to waste your time.
