"oohhh whats that one like? any good? "
only a few chapters in so nothing juicy has happened yet.
I know it probably is a kids book and you can tell they have tried to make it look more like a chunky adult book by using big font sizes  |

What Jem said - it also reads like a bad shopping and fucking novel. |

I've nearly finished it. Its ok, fairly whimsical and I can see why people into the BDSM scene may not like it. I think the concept is a good idea and that's why its popular as the language and way its written isn't particularly great.
All the references to biting lips is getting on my nerves as well as lanaguage like 'holy crap', 'holy shit' etc, makes me think of Batman, I expect to see the word Kappow any time soon, but its a bit of entertainment and not a serious account so it does the trick  |

"just finished i liked it
but its like ann summers - a high street version of BDSM for the masses.
Going to enjoy reading the second and third !"
This is an excellent description of what the book is.
If you want a detailed and true account then stick to something more specialist. I don't think the author really intended it to be taken as reality. I mean how many sexy young dynamic billuonaires do you meet in everyday life |

On the 3rd book in less than 2 weeks 
I have no idea about BDSM relationships, but bugger me, Mr Grey could persuade me from what I read in the first one!
Any young, gorgeous billionaires out there give me a shout  |

I think that's what is good about the books, the authors descriptions and your own interpretation of what Mr Grey is like.
Its just pure escapism and I'm reading the second book now (loving the cover) and it is enjoyable |

Exactly! Every book (for pleasure) I read is pure escapism and I cannot get enough of them, especially when I love one or more of the characters or even the author.
I love getting totally lost in a book. |

That's exactly how I feel about books.
I read a lot of bonkbuster type novels, most of them with the same theme, but that doesn't matter. I enjoy reading novels of lifestyles completely different to my own and for a few hours a day I'm in that mad world of riches and glamour.
Some people feel em barrassed about admitting they enjoy these books, as if its a slur on their intelligence and they feel they should only admit to reading classics. My working life is full of text so at the end of the day I want my working brain switched off and indulge in escapism |

Love the classics but there is nothing better than escaping into some stuff others may class as drivel.
I love being captured by my books! |

I've read all three and agree completely with the escapism factor. However, as much as I enjoyed them, I was a little disappointed that James 'toned down' Darker and Freed.
I hear there's a Hollywood blockbuster about to go into production. It'll be interesting to see who plays the dashingly handsome god that is Mr Grey.
Thoughts ladies..... |

Well being in a BDSM relationship I wasnt inpressed with the book. I just felt it was Mills and Boon with sub/dom stuff in it. It was escapism but Jemima Puddlefuck writes better stuff ( imo ) |

Did you think a book.being sold in tedcos would be hard core BDSM then?
Think you need to critique the book at the level of reader it was intended for. If you want more hard core stuff go to more specialist stockists |

i'm in the middle of the second one now and they are ok i guess many bits of it wind me up like in the first one where she blushed constantly and the fact she calls her chuff her sex constantly and the bdsm part is rediculously tame but as far as an esy trashy novel goes they are an easy read and can't be all bad if i went and bought the second one
its more romance than sexy which i don't normally buy into i don't do romance its an overated concept but i'm still reading so far |

I didnt expect it to be hard core at all. I critique books on many levels and in my opinion this one wasnt particularly well written.
As a best seller I am obviously in the minority |

The book isn't intended to be a true account so any comparisons to real life BDSM relationships are unlikely.
I'm not into the BDSM scene but I can guess that many Dominant males are not enigmatic, sexy, hot billionaires but middle aged, balding men with a paunch. Its not really the same is it, so obviously the fifty shades are fairy tales |

All fiction is fiction - it's part of the definition.
Story of O, for instance is a fiction, in an unrealistic world that most of us will never experience, but it is so well written that you're willing to suspend disbelief. You're also able to empathize with O, with Rene, with Sir Stephen and the other characters. There's a dramatic tension too; the homoerotic charge between Stephen and Rene is beautifully played out.
Fifty Shades of Grey has none of those redeeming features. |

i think i read a different story of o lol
just finished fifty shades of grey and have to say i disagree with the comment that the female lead was 'broken', she was inexperienced, but just a bit annoying with all the 'down there' reference - was begging for her to say cunt haha |

Well, that's a key part of reading, that we bring our experiences and knowledge to the text. So you will always read a different Story of O to me... |
