I would not waste my time

This book did not live up to the hype. The story was good but the hype was way overrated. Would not recommend. If you are just looking to kill some time then read it otherwise pick something else.

Couldn’t Finish Reading It

This book was really hyped up so much so that they made a movie about it. I couldn’t finish reading the book, I lost interest. I decided to try to watch the movie and again I couldn’t finish.

Just meh!

To be honest I wasn’t a fan when I started reading this, I really thought I would be. I didn’t even make it half way. Thinking of giving it another go and see if I can’t get into more. But the first time I was not too impressed.

Not my type of book.

This is a really cheesy book. Millionnaire guy, jealous and posesive, falling in love with the most normal girl in the world who didn't have any sexual partner before. You can read the book really fast, but the story in it isn't just my type of what I read normally. I prefer suspens and fantastic genre. My sister was so ennoying when she asked me every two minutes of life for reading it, saying it's the best story ever wroten. I'm not sure this was the thing with that book. I saw so many women reading it in the subway, blushing because everybody known that it talk about masochism sexual intercourse, but it wasn't that hard to read. Nothing to blush about. I was, at some point, really disapointed of this book. And of course, I didn't watch the first and the second movie.

Well, all I can really say is, "I don't know what all the hype was for". I've heard
about the book on several talk shows and went out to buy it. Yes, I found it somewhat ellouring.
Yes, S and M exists in our world for those who are into it.
I just found the read a bit boring. So, I thought I would watch the movie hoping it would
be better than the book. Wellllllll, no thanks.

It's not a great book, but it's not a horrible book. But the movies definitely disappointing! Chilling on beach, want an easy distracting read, this book will do that for you. Characters are well portrayed, and certain parts suck you right in, to the point of distraction. Is definitely erotic, if you aren't into that sort of thing, where the man plays a dominant role over the female, I would suggest not reading it. I read the whole series, and enjoyed it, I probably will not read them again though.

Oh jeez, this series was crap. Maybe it could have been better if written by a different author. I couldn't even read the third book, I barely got through the second one.
Sure it's lusty and has some fire to it, but it just gets so repetitive. Even the writing style. I wanted to put the book down, only because of the authors writing style and overuse of words.
Apparently there is lots of mumbling and murmuring going on in these books.
It drove me nuts!
This book was only good for the sexy scenes, the story is kinda crap, and so is the writing. I will never buy this series, nor finish reading it. I don't understand why and how so many women like this book.

If you enjoy really bad writing then this book is for you, haha sorry!! It was just beyond slow and took forever to really get anywhere. This isn't something that I would recommend to anyone. Sorry ladies.

I have sort of a mixed review on this series, this was the first romance novel I have ever read and while originally I thought it was great, after awhile I got tired of the amount of sex scenes I just eventually passed by most of them. I liked the story line but would have loved Anastasia to have more fire, I didn't think she was very good lead in the book. I did end up reading a few other romance novels after Fifty Shades and like them much better with better story lines etc.

I was expecting so much more from this book. The vocabulary is too simple for me and it was hard to get a real feel for the story. Almost high school like. I'm not going to even bother watching the movie.
