My friend said, that mostly she had found the people that had enjoyed most are the ones that dont often read books.

When these books first came out, and they were on the 'Week's Best Seller List' in the Sunday's, I thought I'd have a look at them when next out shopping. Then I read AnnCardiff's 'review', and thought better of it.

I think its the most over rated book(s) ever, Badly written, but like most I had find out what Christen Grays story was, I found the 1st book difficult and hard going to read it was borning, I did laugh at some parts, didnt think it was as rude as I was led to believe, . I read the book 1 and 2 but they then I had fully decided enough was enough. and found a blog on line to give me details of the 3rd book I just couldnt face reading, I have read better Jackie Collins :-D

Just couldn't be bothered as I have a couple of shelves of books to read already plus quite a few on the Kindle, if it had had good reviews I'd have read it.

:-D :-D just had a thought, the charity shops will be full of these books in a few weeks time :-D

I agree with Maggie above. All I can say is that EL James has made pots of cash. We all bought in to the hype and the trilogy. I have book three waiting for when I can muster up the enthusiasm to read it. Take out the smut and you have a poorly written Mills and Boon book.

My 21 year old read it, said it was like the Twilight books with smut and no plot!

Give me a Tudor Historical book any day, its got plots,murder, love, plots and more plots :-D

dot com lol x

We could be millionaires Maggie ;-)

I think mine would be 'Fifty shades of beige' :-D

Maggie I got bored reading the book LOL.....

Think I should right a book ...."Fifty shades of Off Black"...... Now that would be telling lolol

I found the sex a bit tedious tbh..........had hoped for something more...........erm...........well more lol.

I skimmed over the sex bits and followed the story I think that's what made me want to carry on reading lol x

Mersey - you got bored?

I wouldn't bother reading about someone else's sexual fantasies - they're only fantasies, and if I so desired , I am quite capable of creating my own!!

Like Sheila & Zombie have (possibly) implied, a good murder/horror takes more imagination - I haven't experienced either of them in reality yet.

I fell for the hype and bought the trilogy - a third way through the first I thought - rubbish - I can write better than this, so I sold them to a friend for a fiver!!!

I honestly got bored LOL

thank you
i would rather read a horror book
but
just might have to read the next two just to find out what happens

Yep have read all 3....the first one was the trickiest to read.......book two has more of a plot to it and book 3 kind of seals the story.... Not the greatest book ever written..but hey if I wanted to read good lit I'd have read Lady Chatterley's Lover...it was a bit Mills and Boon tbh..but I did fall in love with Christian Grey and read it to find out his story. Didn't think the sex was all that shocking............but enjoyed the story

Laters baby ;-) :-D

OH read it on his Kindle and said it was rubbish - not well written - so I haven't bothered. The sex? Would rather read a good murder story :-D
