its a very good book series honestly yes its alot of sex but its a great read. its about a very wealthy man with a twisted depressing past and a young woman from no money and doesnt think highly of her self. they fall in love have kinky sex alot...but there are alot of twists and turns through the whole book whether it be revenge plots or exs or what ever it will leave you wanting and needing the 4th book out.

I agree. The three books could be edited into one really good novel. I thought the storyline (psychological aspect of why he is the way he is) was the most interesting feature of this novel. The sarcastically cute e-mails back and forth in the seccond book was a nice touch. A really good editing could have elevated this trilogy from pulp to a seriously single good novel.Dharianal91 wrote:Well I've read the 50 shades of Grey series about 3 times this year. The writing is in no way worthy of a Nobel Prize but it does have it's merits. The BDSM is really over done. You read through the first sex session and its great and as described in the book it is really vanilla compared to the heavy BDSM in the book. But it's like there is sex every other 5 pages and its kind of the same thing so by the second book I skipped through all the sex scenes because it was truly unnecessary to me. The love story is what kept me reading the book. And the unpredictability of the book was great you really never knew where this book was headed and I rather loved that about it.

There is a lot more to the book then just Christian Grey & sex scenes, there is a story behind it and if you didn't take the time to read it you will never know anything other then the characters name and some reference to sexual content. It touches on some rather dark issues like molestation (his aunt who taught him everything he knows), addiction (his submissives), abandonment issues.
All the boring parts that people feel are drawn out is what created the story surrounding the main character & erotic references. It's not a porno its a trilogy. A story. It's fantasy & imagination no different then the purpose of any other book. It just may not be the genre for you. But I highly recommend that people give loose judgment if you have not read the book cover to cover because the first few chapters don't tell the story and not just for this trilogy but any book, how can you know if you really like it until it ends?
As for the author not being a good writer, I had no issues because I was anticipating the outcome so much.
