Yes...the BDSM aside...and the "badly in need of a harsh editing" aside, I found the psychological aspect of the Trilogy to be exceptional. Like you, I enjoyed the banter between the characters, especially in the form of the e-mails in the second book. This could have easily been edited into one REALLY REALLY outstanding novel.

After reading the first chapter, I got so bored...seriously! It's vivid and wild, I can't relate, and yeah, curiosity killed the cat! But I dragged myself in finishing the series, for the sake of finishing. I remember it sometimes when I'm in the elevator, near the piano, etc. LOL!

50 shades was an ok read at best and it's now a set that's sitting on my shelf collecting dust. (Why can I not bring myself to give books away!? lol)
Won't pick it up again, that's for sure. I'm interested to see how the movie plays out I'm sure it will be just like the books though, a "C" grade at best.

I somehow missed this post when I was reading the other reviews! This. Exactly this.EnciuDana96 wrote:Fifty shades of grey depicts a very misleading, narrow mindded image of the BDSM ( Bondage/Dominance, Sado Masichism) world. It is poorly written in my opinion and I rather regret reading it. The idea is somewhat intriguing and if it were written well, it might have changed my opinion. It is a fun read, but you should not expect too much from it and you should take the information with a grain of salt.

If I were to compare the Crossfire series to the 59 Shades series I would have to say from the erotica standpoint Crossfire wins. It was more realistic than 50 Shades.
