I don't think it has anything to do with satisfying anyone's lust. From everything I have heard they are very poorly written.psychoken wrote:Weird that Fifty Shades has been getting lots of critical and bad reviews on amazon as the day goes by. Guess it just can't satisfy the lust of a lot others.

Long story short...Dane's mom dropped the trilogy off at my house on Sunday after she had read all three books. Yeah...I just rolled my eyes too. Going to actually read them and then give an informed review. Yeah...yeah...I know. I read Rushdie after the fatwa for much the same reason. ~sigh~ Stay tuned...lol.

No...Dane is a friend of my youngest son...Donna (his mom) has been extolling the trilogy since she got it (...from her MOM...@@) Just scratched the surface...but it seems that interwoven in the at times terribly immature writing and between the Holy _____ (pick a word) Nobody ever says that except BATMAN, hon...and pretty vanilla BDSM...and about 3/4 more repetitive (bordering on boring after a while) sex scenes...the actual story...could have been exceptional.
The story:
Grey, a child of a crack whore...three or four years old...beaten, burned and abused by her pimp...locked for days in the room with his dead mother...starving...
Adopted by wealthy family, where at 15, an older female family friend with serious issues enters his life.
The product of which is Mr. Grey. A 27 year old man who reflects that he is "...fifty shades of f--ked up..."
The building of a perfect beast.
The psychological story is thus far exceptional. The technical aspect of the writing. Not so much so. This is E L James first novel(s)...and Dom/Submissive twitter aside, have global recognition and a movie deal in the works. I imagine she is fairly happy about that.
Still reading.

I was completely absorbed by Christian Grey. How broken he was, how he tries to cope with all those feelings that he has never experienced before Anastasia Steele.
I find the book has a little of everything: its has drama, romance, BDSM and a lot of charm between the two main characters.
I would absoluteley recommend the books to anyone wanting to start reading erotica books
