    Amazing! Finally something for women to sink their teeth into.
    This book captures your attention, makes you go to the rich fantasy life of others.
    I'd say this improves your own relationship.

    This book gave me a whole new insight into other aspects of sexual interactions with my partner. Beyond all the kink there is an amazing story.

    This book peaked my interest. I wasn't impressed and found it to be very repetitive.
    Book one was the only good read (if you want to call it that) out of all three. Went fast down hill for me.

    this is such a great series. Some ladies might not enjoy it. But i sure did. My sister in law borrowed me the books and i had the whole series read in one week, with 3 kids running around. Great story line. The only thing that irritated me was all the grammar mistakes. You would think the author would use spell check.

    All I can say is I'm glad I borrowed it, not bought it. I love to read, and I read a lot, as well as a lot of genres. Love steamy books too. This, however, was not my cup of tea. Not because of the content, but I just didn't care for the characters. I struggled to get through the book, and could care less what happened to the characters, so didn't mother to read any of the rest of the series.

    As with everyone else who heard about Fifty Shades, I was curious to see what the buzz was all about. It took me a little bit to actually get into the story and once I did, I still wasn't all that impressed. I found that the sex scenes were very repetive and not as "hot" as I was expecting. This book is hard to put into words because it is strange in a way and to me I found it was one of those books where I wasn't sure if I liked it or not but read the whole trilogy anyways. If you're into romance in erotica then it is definitely for you, although I do find Christian Greys views and expectations a little disturbing at times.

    I have to say I was definitely one of those people following the "hype" of this book. I was so excited when I saw it was available at my local library, I snatched it up before anyone else realized it was there, I was ready to dive into it right away. However, once I started reading it, it was a whole different story. I agree with the poster who hated the writing style of this book, I 100% agree. It was truly dreadful, and I naively thought that it might get better as the book progressed, but it really didn't. I can't say that the story itself is horrible, because I think that maybe written a little different or with a different author all together, the book would have instantly had me hooked, but it just flopped.

    I can't say I didn't know what I was getting into with the subjects in this book, because I did know but I just feel like it was much more of a porno that I wanted and than the book needed. I feel like the author was overcompensating for lack of writing ability with just SO much sex. It became such a turn off for me. I feel like the hype didn't live up to the actual book, which is a shame. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, I've read much better romance novels with less sex, but beautifully written that I have devoured in comparison to the struggle of reading this book.

    If i could rate something into the negatives, this would be it. Horrible dribe. I don't care about the scandalous content, that's fine by me, but the writing style!! Lord. The fact that this woman is making millions for writing such terrible s**t while fantastic authors get nothing for their masterpieces hurts my soul.

    I purchased the series at costco and enjoyed the series. I don't normally read this type of books but all the hype peaked my curiosity. Very fast read .
