    Fifty Shades Trilogy by E L James

    Just thought i would pop a little thread, i dont normally read books but on facebook alot of people seemed to post about them so i thought i would see what all the hype was about.

    I picked the first book up on Thursday and by Sunday i have read all three, i just couldn't put them down. Great novel and raunchy, what more can you ask for?!

    On the back of the book it says 'Romantic, liberating and totally addictive, this is a novel that will obsess you, possess you, and stay with you forever.'

    The above is so so true!!!

    I have heard that she is re writing them from another character 'Mr Grey' and i cannot wait

    A fantastic read and gets my thumbs up.

    I read the first one and I got bored with it about 2/3 through. Not my favorite but the first 1/2 is gross and shocking for sure!

    They deffinately do get better! I wasn't excpecting the sex scenes to be so full on...shall i put it, but i really couldn't put the books down.

    Obvoiusly not everyone will like them but i think they were brilliant.

    I am struggling to read the first one. Too far fetched and crass for my liking but I will soldier on...

    I'm about halfway through the first book; I do intend to finish at some point, but right now it doesn't mix well with my all-day morning sickness.

    I think the premise is interesting (I'm not sure that any other main****** novel has tackled the whole sub/dom concept, which is pretty tantalizing), but the writing is soooo weak. Seriously, if the author was instructed that she was no longer allowed to have Ana bite her lip or look/stare at her hands/fingers; no longer allowed to describe Christian's eyes as penetrating; no longer allowed to describe the roommate as being tenacious; no longer allowed to mentioned that Christian has long fingers and legs; and no longer allowed to have characters gasp or murmur or have their lips "quirk" up in a smile ... there'd be no book left! It would be swiss cheese filled with holes! It's just repetition, repetition, repetition.

    Just as "Twilight" spawned copycats, I'm hoping that these books will inspire some *good* writers to create some excellently written smut. *That* would make for a really interesting reading experience.

    I'm reading the first book, and I do have a hard time putting it down. Dramabird hit the nail on the head, tho... very very repetitive to the point that some descriptive words are used in two sentences in a row. I'm still enjoying it. OH my.
