Beautyfies abusive, overcontrolling, unhealthy relationships and stalking.
Not to mention, that all Grey’s “partners” resembled to his birth mother, which she abused and abandoned him, so his domination was just a sick way of hurting her in his mind. GROSS.
It’s ok to be kinky.
It’s not ok to be abusive and pass this as something exciting and exotic…??
Don’t like the subject matter, or the quality of writing- but I know others that enjoyed them- there is literature out there for everybody- if you have access to amazon, read the reviews- might help you decide.
Read one and a half of the trilogy. I couldn’t stomach any more than that. The writing is atrocious imo. Half the time (or more), Christian Grey feels (through the descriptions used) like one of those fake effeminate vampire archetype who happens to like to show off their luxurious lifestyle, brood and act mysterious and moody at times coz of tortured past, etc~ and it’s just quite forced. And Anastasia..isn’t really any character lol. It was supposed to be dark and erotic but it all felt more juvenile and extremely angsty to me.
Ugh, no thanks. I read some excerpts online and the writing is just terrible. Not to mention that those I know who are actually into bondage and whatnot say that the books do not depict BDSM at all. They depict sick obsession and abuse.
It’s a work of fiction, it’s not rape, it’s not abuse, they are both grown adults and everyone needs to realize that. I fail to see the big deal about it. It wasn’t written as a “how to” book.
I found it quite interesting and it made me understand abit more about why he was the way he is hope this helps
i couldnt get into it as much as the trilogy. i read half of it. i still have to finish it.
I enjoyed it, I always wanted more of his back story through the trilogy so it was good.
Iam enjoying with read books
I loved the books movie ok but too long in between
Still busy with it
i read the source material (the twilight fanfic that was turned into 50 shades) and I can’t say that I am impressed
Ur comments sound interestng… luking forward to readng it. Evn i m curious to knw y he is da way he is
I enjoyed the book it gave me the other side of the couples side
E. L. James is a disgrace to the writing community AND women. >:(
She had a raging case of middle life crisis and knew how to make money out of it.
I’ve been in an abusive relationship before I have no interest in reading about one
I loved the books
Garbage and an insult to literature.
Ilove books libraries information every thing mack me different about people not read
My view is “ugh why?”

It’s okay because Grey is LOADED… if he was your average joe he’d be in jail by the end of the first book
Not interested

I liked it. I liked that she did both point of you and the whole reason it’s so big is bc it’s taboo and risky.

I wouldn’t call it sophisticated writing by any means…
OH NO ! I JUST BOUGHT IT
Read it and make your own opinion
I believe it’s only been written to make a quick buck, so to speak. I didn’t fall for it, by buying or reading it. (;-)
Never appealed to me!
