50 Shades of Grey - Thoughts? Opinions?

[Caz1971]

Read Chris Helmsworth (Thor) might be playing Christian. He's cute.

I just finished the first book.

Am over the sex scenes so I find myself skimming over those which btw happens every couple pages. Im over it haha.

Ok, I succumbed. Bought it last night. Going to start it on the train tomorrow. On my kindle - so no one else will know

Found a blog with print your own dust jackets for the books, so people can't tell what you are reading. One of titles was 50 Rules for Contract Negotiation

MIL is here and is an avid reader, had to warn her not to read them

[~~Snoogans~~]

Ha ha Astrid !! Go on Astrid, let MIL read it you know you wanna!!!

I was just listening to the football commentary on 7 (was sneaking in a nap on the couch) ... and had a giggle when the commentators started talking/joking about how every woman they have seen on their plane trips, are reading this book!

SIL leant we the first book, started at about 3pm and just finished it (had to do dinner, watch the block etc )
It was a great read, in the sense it was easy to get into, not overly complex but very thought provoking.

I quite enjoyed it despite some of its short comings.

Might have to go but myself the next 2 books and this one for me to keep
In my collection.

I saw them on special at Big W on Saturday ZF.

I borrowed from my neighbor, otherwise I would lend them to you.

I thought it was interesting.

Hmm might have to have a quick look Tuesday.
Is it odd I want to go back through the first one & highlight my favorite bits

I'm about to start my second read through... I love them...
I know it's crappy writing and crappy editing but I love the story and it has opened up a new world to me!!! It has also laid to rest some demons from my past... Ahhh, Mr Grey.....

[jlk]

I'm about to read them for the second time too

[peanutter]

There was an older lady (mid 60s I reckon) on my train reading the second one, and I was sitting there thinking, "Good for you!"

[Trillian]

Doesn't it bother anyone though that a lot of the sex is bordering/has crossed over to non-consensual sex?

[peanutter]

I haven't read it yet ... I'm still on the hunger games!

Fifty shades is next on my list.

And then Tina Fey's book.

[Glamoreyez]

I guess for me no because if she truly didn't want to participate, she wouldn't.

I don't think it's non-consensual, he has been quite open with her and she has gone into the relationship with knowing it will be different.

I did shudder at the thoughts & comments about Mrs R and him being young but Mr G & A's relationship no.

I'm normally a bit reserved about these kinds of things but there was something very intriguing about this 'storyline'.

I forced myself to keep reading and I only made it 1/3 way through and I just can't pick it up again. I'd buy the hunger games.

[AngelPants]
