I'm half way through book one and finding it all a bit repetitive to be honest. I think I'm going to scream if she bites her lip or thinks about the way his trousers hang from his hip one more time lol.

Am I the only one who thinks Christian Grey is a bit of a dickhead!?

OMG!!!!! I hadn't realized that this was the same book my 34 year old daughter had been raving to me about!!!! She bought the other two in the trilogy when we were out together last week but still I didn't know what she was raving about!

Then for her to tell me that this is called......Mommyporn!!!!! OMG! And there was me thinking I'd brought up a prim and proper daughter....yeah right

She says she just can't put it down which does make it kinda awkward when she's trying to do things like change her 6 and a half month old daughter's nappy with eyes still on the book. Poor bub's lucky she's escaped having the nappy put on the wrong end thus far 

Howsomever, I shan't be reading these coz I'm a thriller addict I'm afraid as the 900 and odd currently stored on my Kindle proves.

Happy reading you naughty, naughty people.

And just incase you were after a copy, the W. H. Smith's we were in had sold out! Course, that might just be that the Essex laydeeees are partial to, what in my younger day would probably have been referred to as a bodice ripper?

Hippy

I'm halfway through book 1, downloaded it from amazon for £2.69 onto my phone, it's ok but not as good as the hype, if people love the Twilight drivel then they'll like these, same characters as Bella & Edward - young awkward girl falls for confident out-of-her-league guy and can't understand why he likes her too.

So far if you take away the saucy stuff and there's no plot, maybe a story will appear?....

It doesn't help that I can't stop imagining Mr Grey as looking like Simon Cowell, lol

I've now finished book 1 and won't be buying the other 2. I found it all a bit boring really (including the sex). Didn't help that Mr Grey did nothing for me. Clearly I'm not into control freaks with a penchant for hurting women.

Weird that I like the book Misery, where the poor man gets hobbled!!!

Says a lot about my character really

lol, I've finished book 1 now too and wont be getting the others, it was pretty dire, I'd heard people say it was repetitive but "oh my" it was!

So much breath "hitching", lip biting, not eating and 'oh my'-ing.

It's a shame really, it was an interesting topic but written badly.

Must admit all the food references were a bit stupid and totally irrelevant to the 'story'?

I'm pretty sure I would have been convinced to eat a few chunky beefburgers a long time before I was spanked witless
