Really. I don't like it. I'm a huge bookworm and because of my curiosity being aroused, I've read the book but after I was done it's a no-no for me. Sex is something that should be self-explored aside from the ones you see on Tumblr. Especially sex that involve BDSM. 50 Shades just exploded the minds of many, mostly girls. Here lies presentation of gaining a sexual pleasure which they think is fine because they've read something about it. But in fact it's like an instant mood setter for women that when they've read a part that would arouse or ignite their hormones they would just go into action with their husbands or boyfriends watching a football game or whatsoever they're doing. Men are getting more action than Kim Kardashian.

For the writing, I would say that it is like a sugarcoated porno book with wild extremities. Introducing BDSM as more pleasurable, more engaging for the relationship, SUBMISSION. It's the same old same old average girl meets the "most handsome" man, with dark secrets, rich, etc. Then there goes their chemistry. Girl wants to explore new heights of their relationship but the guy wants to get into the action right away at every moment he finds fit.

I'm overstating, I'm aware. This is just my intuitive understanding about the book. But do you guys like it?

So, it's basically the most mainstream porn ever?

It's a porn that's narrative and imaginative. I would say yes, especially now that there's a movie coming in February. It's people expect to see a lot of BDSM actions in the silver screen.

Oh if you only knew, I have friends on facebook that are too obsessed with the idea of "Looking for Mr. Grey" like really? Engaging oneself to BDSM because of a poorly written literary piece.

Yeah, a fan-fic can be both good or bad. But for this one? I'm saying that it has a poor literary quality.

It is but instead of preteens craving highschool love, it is old moms who want to be tied down and for somebody to have their way with them. It really is just a bunch of old women with a bondage fetish.....

I don't get aroused by sex being explained in a book... I need pictures or images of the people and what they look like with the wordplay. So yeah, the whole 50 shades of grey is Lame.

I read some of it and the writing is actually very bad. It only sells because of the sex, which isn't that good either. Its nothing better than a sex story you could find on the internet.

as it's apparently a fan fic of Twilight with names changed and fetish added, so as not to break copyright, but still a rip off of that book with some added rip offs of another (presumably well written) fetish novel, the title should have been "50 Shades of Plagiarism".

@theblondegod: Fifty Shades was critically panned. You are in the majority with dislike of the book.

If Mr Grey was not good looking, and instead average / ugly, most women would consider him a creepy pervert who deserves jail time for abuse.

I saw a show a while back (can't remember the name) where the goal was to help couples with their relationship problems. The woman was a huge fan of 50 Shades and she had been bugging her guy about being more like Christian Grey. He didn't know how so the show trained him in it, then he took his wife out on a date where he acted like Mr. Grey. It was pretty creepy and extremely awkward.

That said, Merry Christmas!

while stealing from another book (arguably 2) for the so called fetishy bits. Looks like the authour can't have a single thought of her own and must swipe from others. Sad statement on the reading public.

It did receive much negative reviews, so as to my standings why I don't like it pretty much states why.

Of course, handsomest guy= can do anything to you. Smh.

Yep, and the shades meant to be the mood swings he's having.
