Even thought this story might not be true as the author said it is, there still is such a thing as honor killings. It is hard to imagine the things these women live through every day not knowing that not every one lives like they do. I would recomend this book to my friends.(less)

Although there could be a little less sex or at least in shorter descriptions haha. I still really enjoyed reading the three books. E. L. James has a great talent in writing stories and I hope this trilogy is only the beginning of the many books she will publish.(less)

Ms. James,
How does someone come up with such a great page turner. As much as I loved the first book it doesen't even compare to the second. I could not put it down and must say I took it everywhere with me not eating or sleeping, wanting to find out what will happen next.
I can't wait to finish the third book (oh yes I've already started) to know how the story ends.

If I was a teen and read this book, wait no if I was a teen I would never finish reading this book. It is a easy read but it's deffinetly not persuading me to live a pure life.
This would have been a better book had the author written more about her lif, it seems like she might have a good story to tell. Yet she writes of other peoples experiances.
My sister owes me for my lost time reading this book.(less)

It wasn't written well but then again who am I to critique peoples writing when I myself am horrible with grammar.(less)

Romance novels are not my thing but a friend told me I should give this book a try because it is more than that and she was right. Ana's character is a little too much for me but I love her inner goddess. I found myself laughing out loud while reading to some of the email exchanges between Christian and Anastasia :)
Before I was done reading the first book I already had bought the second and third books waitting for me. (less)

It was even better than the first one.

There was not a single page that I wanted to miss.
From the beginning the author captured my attention and by the time I finished the book I had already bought the second two novels. (less)

Once I began reading I just couldn't stop. The story does not have a single page that is not captivating. At the end of the book I was sad that I had read all of it, I wanted to keep reading about Sydney's life.
I will recommend this book to all of my friends. (less)

I just couldn't finish this book. The begining was funny and entertaining but as the different stories were told, less and less interested me. Mostly I was shocked by some people's actions and things that turned them on.
This was just something I'm not going to re-read.(less)

How brave she is to strive and continue trying to succeed in her life and then to share her story with the world.
The story about her hard life as a child that only kept getting harder and harder. After she left home it seemed that bad luck and horrible things kept following her. It is truly heart breaking and emotional story that cannot be just explained in a short summary.
It is so depressing to hear that throughout her life she had met so many people who were so cruel and unjust. I hope that this book will become one of the best sellers world wide and that it makes a change in the world. Hopefully the ending of the book is just a beginning of the great things to come. This book is one of the best I have had read and hope that this is just the first book of many for her.
I had received this book through goodreads giveaways and I can't be more thankful. Had I not won it through the site I would have probably not bought it at a store. The book I owe had already been lent to a friend and I hope many of her friends will be interested in it enough to pick a copy up and read it as well.

Towards the end I was curious how the author would end the story but unfortunately it wasn't a good ending. In the beginning I constantly kept thinking about The Amityville Horror since this story reminded me a lot of it.
I was disappointed with this book. I had high hopes it would be a great book. Well thank you any way for the free book and I will pass it on to someone who might enjoy it more than I did. (less)

Well the first 70 pages felt more like the fathers need to incorporate himself to receive a few minutes in the spot light.
When I decided to read the story I was hoping for more of the child’s story and not the father's story of how things happened.
One thing is for sure, the fact that the father is a pastor makes the credibility of the story weak. Children are really smart and their often listening to us when we don't expect it. So even though he might not have been taught a lot of the things it's very likely that he has heard about them.
Mostly I didn't think the first 70 pages were necessary. The book would have been much better with all of that omitted. (less)
