50 Shades of Grey

bells24412 · May 2012

Has anyone read it? If you did, is it any good?

I was thinking of getting it, but I don't want the book to be a total bore. One of my friends told me it was just as addiciting as Twlight.

I'm almost done with it. It's horribly written and I absolutely hate the lead female character. She's whinyyyyyyy.

BUT, it's a quick read and pretty entertaining. Chock full of sex and BDSM!

I am on the 3rd book and I love it!!! I would definitely recommend it!! It is a very quick read

One of my bridesmaids has already told me that she is getting me the set as part of my bachelorette party gift. She told me that she thinks I will be inspired to try new things thanks to the main character. (I don't entire know what that means yet since I haven't read it). She said it would be a perfect honeymoon read, so I am looking forward to it!

I just told my co-worker that I wish I read them on our HM :)

My co-workers recommended them to me and I am OBSESSED! I started book 1 three days ago and couldn't put it down. As a PP said, not well written, but I just couldn't put it down. I had to know what happened. I started book 2 yesterday and I am already halfway through. They are quick reads. It think it's fun that we all joke around about them together at work (carefully...lol). They books have definitely taught me a thing or two...lol!

After reading these posts... I think I know what books I'm bringing on my HM

Thx ladies! I also heard from my coworker that she couldn't put the books down!

l_everett · May 2012

Now you're all getting me excited! I went to the bookstore on tues to buy it and they were all sold out! lol So im thinking i'll just have to order it online

Seriously I think it's just a more BDSM Harlequin romance novel. Yes it has sexy scenes in it and might give you an idea or 2, but I don't think it was worth it buying the books for me. If I had known I wouldn't have wasted my $30 on them. Plus it's more like 1 book split up into 3 and annoying to me that they did that.

I just started the first one last night. I think its pretty good so far

Isn't that because it started as a Twilight fanfiction? I think it's this book anyway. Obviously, I haven't read it lol.

LADY324 · May 2012

As you can see people either love it or hate it. I happen to love it

</div><div>Yeah that's this book. The characters are meant to be Edward and Bella, I think in the original e-book it even used their names.

Yes, it was written as a Twilight fanfic. I actually have no interest in reading it because of all the sex and S&M. I am not interested in thosee type of romance novels. Give me Nora Roberts and I am more than happy. She knows how to write good books.

mekiakoo · May 2012

Sigh.... I gave in and bought all 3 books on Saturday. I like books anyway!
