Fifty Shades of Grey question

Honestly, I think, no one should ever read this book. Or, if you have to read it get the ff and don't waste money for that. It makes my brain hurt and there are so many things wring with this giant piece of sh** that I don't know where to start. First, E. L. James should be ashamed because she's a fanfiction author, for god's sake and since I am a fanfiction author myself I know what I'm talking about when I say: get yourself some honor, girl! So, she has taken her fanfic and replaced the names of the main characters. Congratulations, you're a thief! Which is only nice when you're an RPG character.
And she's not even a good or average writer, there are so many people who are way better. Especially when it comes to writing sex scenes - why is she doing that when it's obvious that she has no talent for it? The author tries to be kinky which is really hard since she seems to have done no research on the BDSM topic and her main character is a creepy guy who deserves to be in an episode of criminal minds. I can't understand why people speak of romance or love when they talk about this novel because this is about abuse. Abuse and manipulations.
I know my mom likes to read erotica novels but I swear, if she ever comes up with this stuff I will scold her. Because I love her and she deserves to read better stuff than this.

Much has been said/written about this book. It wasn't an easy read, at least for me. I found the heroine's voice quite hypnotic and, too often, distressing. However, I couldn't put it down and finished it in record time.

I can only suggest you to give it a try. If you are not taken by the story by page 50, then you won't be at all and there is only one thing left you can do: pass the book around and let others try it.

I would say for you to read the book. At first, I wasn't to sure about the book, but I decided to give it a chance. Needless to say, I loved it! I was trapped by the character's interaction and emotions. Give the book a try and maybe you'll be surprised and love it just as me!!!

I could not put it down. With that being said, you must be comfortable with strong sexual language. I would recommend trying it, you may get fustrated with the characters. This is not a typical romance the first book only spans about 2 weeks time.

Don't.
As much as I don't like discouraging people from reading, I believe this author has done something wrong and the books' popularity does not sit well with me.

See THIS THREAD for my sentiments.
That's my 2 cents anyway, it's your prerogative to read or not.

I read all three of the books in the trilogy twice. I loved them. I think the book gets a bad rap because of the controversial parts, but bottom line is that it is a really really deep love story. There is just so much to the story and I fell in love with Christian and all of his 50 shades. I seriously LOL'd and cried throughout the series. Some people get caught up in the BDSM and are completely offended - I went in reading it without even knowing that was a part of the story - but I found overall that it was such a small part of the whole picture that it didn't detract from the story at all - it was part of the relationship but such a small part. I highly recommend it as a must read!

This book glorifies abusive relationships. Christian is an egotistical, self-centered character that is the prototype of the Ted Bundy types. It's very sad that women find this normal and desirable behavior in a man. Counselors, myself included, have spent years helping women recover after relationships such as this. It is grossly abusive and shocking that women like it. Most people enjoy good sex but this is not good sex. It is mind contol, stalking, degradation, emotional abuse and vastly over rated.

I just started reading a few minutes ago, just because all of the buzz around this book.. It's my first time reading erotic book so let's see how hot it gets. Greetings from Venezuela.

Loving the book having a hard time puttin it down.Much like Anastasia I am dying to unravel the mystery of Christian Grey.So isaw read the book and decide gory urself if you will read the rest of them!

I've read these books twice thru. These books are about the relationship of two people exploring BDSM: one experienced and one not experienced. If you want to read these books please keep an open mind when reading them. BDSM is only part of the story it's the relationship that makes these books.

I started these books because of all the media controsery. I enjoyed the first book "Fifty Shades of Grey" and read in only a few days. I'm now 1/2 way through the 2nd book anad can't wait for the third book. You need to get pass the BDSM. The story and the two main characters are the best. I would recommend this book, not to my mother, but to anyone else who likes a good story.

This is why you should read the Fifty Shades Trilogy... SPOILER ALERT** DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED THE FIRST BOOK.

"I'm your lover, Anastasia, not your Dom. I love to hear you laugh and your girlish giggle. I like you relaxed and happy, like you are in Jose's photos. That's the girl that fell into my office. That's the girl I fell in love with." -Christian Grey, Fifty Shades Darker, E.L. James.

Because when you get to that part, you were rooting for them and especially, Fifty the whole time!
