dont like it ..dont read it
I still don't understand how EL James decided to go with a virgin in this book which makes it all so unbelievable. Never would a virgin agree to a contract before even having sex.

True, but most naive young girls would want a relationship not a strictly sexual contract.

Never would a virgin agree to a contract before even ha..."thats also true, not all tho (my personal experience) i was the awkward loner kid in highschool i just didnt wanna stand out and all the cool kids were doin it lmao but then again thats different then being an "ADULT" in that postion
i do think tho with her being a virgin it was crappy the way he went about takin her virgnity he (in my opinon) acted like it was a burden
(Random rambling) i Kinda want Ian Somerhalder to play CG i love that man to death, i know Matt Bomber looks more the part tho :( i think they are both yummy
Jenna wrote: "(Random rambling) i Kinda want Ian Somerhalder to play CG i love that man to death, i know Matt Bomber looks more the part tho :( i think they are both yummy"I agree, about the both of them being eligible ;) Is the movie definitely in the works, or just a consideration at this point?
How can you comment if you don't read it? I kept thinking that they would get to the plot..Ha! if you put the actually story in a book it would require about 100 pages. All the rest seems like smut to me..just my opion...

Hey! Don't buy into that stereotype. I find most "dumb" blondes are actually brunettes who've dyed their hair and use it as an excuse. There are so many incredibly intelligent blondes out there and you might be one of them. Don't sell yourself short!
It's okay to like this book no matter what your intelligence level. In fact, I don't find this book to be stupid at all.

I agree too...both are hot beyond words!
Jenna wrote: "i do think tho with her being a virgin it was crappy the way he went about takin her virgnity he (in my opinon) acted like it was a burden"He only acted like that until it was over.. then he found out that he quite liked vanilla!!
i know i got that from reading it, but im just talkin about how he was acting going into it (no pun intended lol)
He definitely acted like that going into it. I was surprised she agree to do it based on his attitude. I probably would have walked at that point.
yea me personally i would of punched him in his pretty boy face and told him to kick rocks
Jenna wrote: "yea me personally i would of punched him in his pretty boy face and told him to kick rocks"LMFAO!!!! I don't know if i would have gone that far! I kind of liked his pretty boy face, and bossy pants attitude... I guess that's why I liked the book, but.... I am not a 21 year old virgin!!!! (unfortunately)
lol it would of pained me to do so since he is in my mind very attractive since james made him so but yea i thought he was rude about it
Jenna wrote: "lol it would of pained me to do so since he is in my mind very attractive since james made him so but yea i thought he was rude about it"I'm definitely going to have to read these books again bc I remember his bad attitude, but I was quite surprised he was breaking his own rules for her by having "vanilla" sex. I can't remember if he acted like a total ass about it, or not.
he just seemed all huffy about it like he was goin out of his way to do this favor for her so she could say she wasnt so she could decide on the contract
Kris wrote: "Jenna wrote: "lol it would of pained me to do so since he is in my mind very attractive since james made him so but yea i thought he was rude about it"I'm definitely going to have to read these b..."
No, he didn't act like an ass. He's in love with her. I read the books 3 times. I hear book #4 is coming out...supposedly next week they'll be announcing something.
ellie the first time they done it he did seem like an ass until like Karen said it was over and he didnt love her at the time

Yeaaa! They will be announcing the release date next week? That's so exciting! Christian's POV, right? :)))
we are talkin about the first time they had sex, when he took her virgnity
People who are disliking this book aren't only disliking this book because it's a "sex book". This book might have not appealed character wise or maybe plot wise, or maybe the sex wasn't written well. Your statement rubs off as a little judgemental. There are plently of other reasons why someone may dislike this book
Read the first book but won't be reading the other two. Just not an interesting story line and the writing is just ok.

Jenna wrote: "we are talkin about the first time they had sex, when he took her virgnity"You're right. I remember that he was annoyed when he found out she was a virgin and said he would've never hooked up with her if he had known that.
Jenna wrote: we are talkin about the first time they had sex, when he took her virgnity Yes, and he said that he would not consider moving forward with this contract with a "virgin". Therefore if they were even going to consider moving forward, they were going to have to "take care of that." Meaning her virginity. That was when he agreed to have vanilla sex with her. But, when they actually slept together, he admitted to her that it was a first for him, how much he enjoyed it, and he "let" her sleep in his bed with him all night, another first.

yea :) so yea he might of enjoyed it afterward but i thought he was a huge jerk at the start
Jenna wrote: " but i thought he was a huge jerk at the start"He was definitely a jerk... but that made his transformation that much sweeter. It took a while, but he definitely changed his ways. Besides I found his mercurial moods kind of hot actually!!! Call me a masochist!
Karen wrote: "Jenna wrote: " but i thought he was a huge jerk at the start"He was definitely a jerk... but that made his transformation that much sweeter. It took a while, but he definitely changed his ways..."
He is definitely hot and hard to shake from the mind. :)
so since the 4th book is gonna come out...ugh i guess i need to make myself read the 3rd...just so i can say i finished the series lol no one likes a quitter
Jenna wrote: "so since the 4th book is gonna come out...ugh i guess i need to make myself read the 3rd...just so i can say i finished the series lol no one likes a quitter"Is there going to be a fourth? I hadn't heard that.
I'll warn you... You will probably not like the third book. It was my least favorite. Of the three, I found this one more repetitive than the others. But then again, I liked the controlling jerk right from the beginning. I think I got bored with him once he got too sappy. He's still hot... still controlling, but maybe just more predictable. I'll be interested to see what you think. I'll have to look up info on a fourth book.
from what ive been reading the 4th is from his POVand yea Kris is waiting to see what i think of the 3rd too lol Maybe after i finish Easy ill start it lol
I really liked Easy!!! What do you think so far? I've read so many great books this year, and my TBR list is now a mile long!!I think I would really like this book from Christian's POV. I am dying to get into that f**k'd up head of his!!
i think (my opinon since ive only read the 2) it would be easier to read from his POV not so much annoying stuff as long as his Inner Dom or Inner Sub doesnt comes into the book. I just didnt really like it from anas view
Karen- I feel the same way- can't wait to get front row seats in Christian's mind! I absolutely LOVED the teaser at the end of book 3 in his POV. Jenna- did you start Easy? Are you liking it? And have you read Obsidian? I just finished it and loved it! Im on to Onyx, now.

yea i started easy last night and got 50 pgs in its an easy read lol it sucks u in right at the begining and no i havnt even heard of those..i might have to add those to the list then if u say they are good :)
I'm really glad you're enjoying Easy! I have to get a feel of what kind of books you like so I don't recommend ones you don't like...But I think you will like Obsidian. It's a series, only two are out and it's a paranormal story involving aliens. But the sexy kind lol. Anyway, the story is amazing and the writing is fantastic; very witty and humorous dialogue. I really think you'd like it :)
ill see if i can find an ebook copy :) i know im gonna be busy we are just now votin for next months book in the book club so ill have to hurry and read that and get that out of the way once its been voted
I hear ya... I have a group read also coming up. There are so many books I want to read next and it's making me a little anxious lol. I get way too crazy over books!

I loved his transformation and the intensity of his love for Ana. I cringed the first time she touched his chest. I thought it was a physical pain, but it was emotional too. I'm finishing it for the 3rd time and will probably read it again. I'm listening to Snow Patrol, The Lightning Strike. It's on FSOG music track. I bought the CD A Hundred Million Suns by Snow Patrol. Fantastic music! The music is all Christian & Ana. (sigh!)
