Reply With QuoteBook 2 & 3 have more of a storyline but it's still annoying
I was quite bored with it by Chapter 16 of Book 1 Boomba. I however could not put down Book 2, and can't wait to start Book 3 going on Book 2's ending.

Oh well I have some sort of story line to look forward to I hope!!!
Really Boomba? Righto then - cant imagine Bella and Edward carrying on like that... I guess the key word is "loosely"...

Got book 2 in my kobo, wasn't going to but couldn't help it.

ROFL OP. You took the words right out of my mouth!
The writing is seriously lame.
I decided I had to read it to see what all the fuss was about. i'm not that far into it but its not my thing. Actually, its disturbing.

Finished book 2 @ 2:30am, ended up downloading book 3... Will prob read that tomorrow.
Writing doesn't particularly get better but I still couldn't put it down.
I'm over her 'inner goddess' & the repetitive sex scenes, but it's an easy read & the storyline is ok.

Have started reading it, up to about chapter 9 or 10. I have read much better books, and now that I've read a few
Blogs that poke fun at it, I can't help cringing at some places! (like..does she really need to say crap, and double crap, and all the other craps) ALL the time?!
I am going to finish the series, just so I can say I've done it and know what happens. Curiosity's sake I suppose!
It has piqued my interest about what good erotica is like (I have never read Twilight and have no desire to, so that has nothing to do with wanting to read 50 shades in the first place), so I've ordered a book online while I was placing an order for some books for DD..I know probably slightly wrong, but meh..lol). Hopefully it will be a better read than this!

I skipped to chapter 17 I think to read a sex scene and nearly threw up :-( it really is disturbing :-/
Does anyone actually enjoy these sex scenes? Shouldn't things be left to the imagination a little?
The sex scenes do nothing for me Boomba.

Boomba, after reading this series kobo sent me some recommendations based on the fact that I'd read these, I figured what the hell and downloaded one, OMG 50 shades has nothing on this one, it was foul
Registered User
No! WTF! I am not getting it. I could not think of anything worse. Beating people is not sexy to me, uck. It's awful. And not realistic. If I went to someone's house and they showed me that room on the first date I'd be getting the hell out of there

Not me either I'm afraid

Nope..I'm not into the hardcore stuff yet, but it is more horrifying than enjoyable..
I fail to see how it can be called mummy porn, surely the average population of mothers are not into that?!
Registered User
Oh surely not! Or I have just led a very sheltered life, LOL. I will be looking at you all more suspiciously now though

I'm not minding it. It's terrible writing, the sex scenes I mainly skim now (halfway through the 3rd) and Ana shirts me to tears, but I like Christian's character. The psychology, as Rogue has mentioned to me before I started reading, is quite spot on and engaging. I find it relatable in a lot of aspects of DH and my problems we've worked through, the control etc. It's woeful writing, and the sex, I'm over it, I can't think off anything worse than doing it 5 times a day lol!! But I am finding the storyline engaging, in an easy, don't have to think about much kind of way.

I love it! I couldnt put the 2nd one down but as I got closer to the end I was forcing myself to because I didnt want to finish it.
The writing isnt fantastic and seriously how many times do you have to use the word equilibrium?? but then again it wasnt the writing that made me start reading them in the first place
The sex scenes - very repetitive and boring and she is very much a taker isnt she?I have to be honest and say that although the spanking is really not my thing I did feel my "loins warming" when she was blindfolded and couldnt hear him either. All about the touch and sensations
But apart from that I think "oh god not again" when they start up, and shes good to go every time??? I mean I like a bit of fantasy but only if I think it could be a reality and thats not!
Eager to get the third book though to see how they wrap it up and then maybe I can start folding my ever growing and neglected washing pile that is MY reality
