Reading the books right now, God they are awful! The whole book is like a copy&paste job... "My inner godess" "put your hands up" "what will I do with you anna" "god he's beauftiful" "grabbed the foil" "stop biting your lower lip, you know what that does to me" "I want you right now. Take off your dress" but saying that they are sort of addictive. I just don't find them... Erotic or sexy! I don't think they have a lot of chemestry together.
Christain, atleast, has a much better taste in cars - and isn't a p ussy (that sparkles).
Also a few more things: does she own her own clothes - why is she always wearing Kates?? He 'slams' into her when she's a virgin - wtf???
I finished the 3rd book this morning at 3am having spent the last 5 days of my life completely absorbed in Christian Grey! So what if it's a poorly written and repetitive but it's completely and utterly addictive. I didn't really want it to end, I wanted to know more but I now can't wait for the the film.

This thread has become quite interesting. I wonder why it is ok to ridicule women for reading a book with a few dirty bits in it and call them lonely and sex starved - but click on any thread about porn and call the men watching it lonely and sex starved and there will be a massive outcry about how liking porn is normal and healthy.
Actually I think you are totally missing the point.Like the other poster said, If a man was reading this it would be called badly written erotica, because the persons that read this are women, and this pure beings do not want to have anything to do with porn, it's called "romance" and tops the charts.
Women that read this are ridiculed not because they may get off from the gynecological sex scenes between Christian Grey and that despicable female character, they are ridiculed because they believe this book has quality. That Christian Grey is a new kind of romantic hero. When men like porn at least there is no hypocrisy.

The sex scenes are so shite and unintentionally amusing I don't see how it could be acurately labelled as porn.

I totally agree with you, they are addictive. Sigh, Christian Grey, he could tie me up and spank me any day.:D
I read this a while ago online when it was called "Master of the Universe" by snowqueen icedragon .... I wouldn't pay to read it again.
After years of reading fanfic, I find I can often distinguish the potentially interesting story from the pointless one purely on the strength of the writer's login. This one reeks of someone who'd spend days working out the name, looks and nigh-on impossible attractiveness of their Mary Sue, and about five minutes on the plot. :-D
I'm on the second one now and really enjoying it. It's such a rip off of the twilight books though and if you didn't like the twilight series then I doubt you will enjoy this
Ohh I might like this then. I've read the twilight series and I enjoyed it. One of my friends is reading it now and I looked at a page just to see what it was like. Was very graphic but if there is a storyline and it's not just sex for the sake of it I might give it a go.
My wife hasn't stopped going on about it & has read the first one & has downloaded the other two on her Kindle. I never know. My luck might change
It appears a lot of female members of my family are also reading it as are some women I know on Facebook.None of them seem to have a bad word about it like on here.
An earlier conversation below from a woman I know on FB & her contacts:-
"This book i just cant put down can you guess what it is?" ·
"I bet it's about a certain Mr Gray :-) "
"I'm reading it as well"
"i take mr gray to bed every night"
"I take him to bed, in the bath with me, he's been all over the house .... :-) "

I've never read the twilight books or attempted too but I did enjoy Fifty Shades..perhaps I need to read Twilight now.
There is a storyline, but I think you have to read all 3 books. If you get to the end of the first book and think I can't bare to read the next 2, try because the second and third books because it completed the story and the second book is better than the 1st and the third better than the second!
The sex scenes are so shite and unintentionally amusing I don't see how it could be acurately labelled as porn.
I agree. The sex is so badly written it's actually making me laugh rather than affect me in any other way. I'm 75% of the way through so I'll finish it now but I won't bother with 2 and 3 as, tbh, I couldn't give a crap what happens to any of the poorly written characters and their lives.
I would say though fairplay to the author for managing to make a p*ss poor book that could have been written by a student as a project become such a massive seller. A definite case of hype over substance imo
Same here, the adulation on FB for this tripe is mind boggling. Someone even 'checked in' to '50 Shades' with 'Mr Grey'. So many of them are talking about him as if he's real, it just makes me cringe. I'll be so glad when the whole sorry thing is forgotten about and they can get back to watching Jeremy Kyle instead.
they can get back to watching Jeremy Kyle instead.
My gf is reading them at the moment, she's engrossed in them, but is it a case of Top Gun / Days of thunder films - quite a poor really, but highly entertaining, it does what it says on the tin, what do you expect from mass market entertainment?
Oh no, not Jeremy Kyle, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

I blame the falling educational standards
There is nothing wrong with the standard of education I received! However, I did enjoy Mr Grey!
Evidence to the contrary my dear:D
I know, it's disconcerting to see grown women fawning over a character with clearly serious psychological issues.
Me too! He's a creepy stalking control freak (who'd ever know this was based on Twilight?!)

But you winked... is that a trick!? PM me the truth if you wouldnt mind!?

I am getting a bit fed up of the repetition, as i dont know how many more lip bites i can handle!

That has made me die a bit inside
