Great book.. Would read again!

I Really love this book I love the first one the most. I love how they met and how he just fell for her. Totally recommend reading the first one way better than the other ones. It's addicting.

I thought this book was very erotic and sexy! I know some people may not like the story behind it but I believe this book is everything you could ask for in a book and more!

I found 50 shades of gray to be fun and easy to read. They were something entirely different from my library which is always good for a different read!

Could not put this one down!!! You're either going to Love it or Hate it, and I LOVED IT!!! It's twisted and sexual and cunning and sly and sexy and romantic and gentle and serious and loving all rolled into one book. I seriously could not put it down and I am not a huge reader. Mr Christian Grey roped me in from the very beginning. And innocent Anna... ohhh innocent Anastasia. It's got everything in this book from romance, to drama to dark emotional abuse, to sexual abuse to bondage, to everything in between. Which ever way you take it. It's definitely not for everybody! But it truly is a romance novel and I loved the story of the characters. I fell in love with them. I had to know what was going to happen to ALL of them. I could have been Anastasia Steele working in that little store... ohhh the fantasy.. and who would have been my Christian... see that is how it gets in your head!!!!!!! You must read this!!!! Gooooo now!!!!!!!!! Thank you EL James.... please keep writing about what they are doing now... I miss them!! ;)

I enjoyed all three books. And the Grey book which is Christian Grey's point of view. I could read them over and over again. Like someone else said, you either love them or hate them. I love them. NOT for kids at all though.

I am a fan of books that describe the lives of people who seem ordinary but have many secrets in their lives. Fact is the story line of this series is not that far fetched. Also I would recommend reading at least book two along with book one. Book one has not even touched upon the depth of Christian Grey.

I'm on the 2nd novel and I'm really liking them. I don't often read S&M, but I actually think the author does well with the subject. It's discussed in a more tasteful way in my opinion. Someone mentioned trashy, bloody scenes, and to each his or her own, but I completely disagree. There's no blood in this. Also, they mentioned that they thought it would be a romance novel, and it certainly was. I found it exciting and fun and I'm really enjoying it.

I typically don't read s&m this was my first time at it. I actually love the books. I got into them because a huge twihard (we are now called twishades) fan I had to read this because it was originally a twilight fanfic called Master of the Universe. I can't read it as Edward and Bella though, much prefer it as Christian and Anastasia. The last one in the series I am disappointed in the ending though it puts too much in a short time, it needed to go on a little more...

I just finished book one and can't wait to read the other 2. Only decided to read them because of all the hype and then heard they are making a movie. Never got into the Twilight series or Hunger Games but thought this series would be more to my liking. Did not expect the s&m when I started but I think the author does pretty well with it. I really like the characters and can't wait to see what happens with them in the next 2 books. The author has me hooked.

I loved this series. I read all three books in two weeks. The second book by far was the best.

Have read Book 1 & 2, am just getting started on three. I got sucked into the story of the two characters in Book 1 so continued. I can agree with many of the reviews. There are times in Book 2 where I was a little bored with how "in love" they said they were. I can also say that it was nice to know that there was at least a love story to it and not all S&M. There are times when I have to remind myself to take a breath, and there are others where I have to force myself to stay awake reading it. I have read way worse books that's for sure. The series isn't suppose to be a classic like Shakespeare, Bronte or Twain, it is something that is simply fun to read. Will finish the series for some of my fun Summer reading.

I think these books are great. Were they the best written books ever? No, but despite all the sex scenes and f bombs, I found myself unable to put them down and read the whole trilogy in less than a week. It does have lots&lots&lots of sex scenes, but underneath is a love story that keeps you reading.

While I agree that they weren't the best written books I have ever read, they still were very good. I was not able to put them down and found them highly entertaining.

This was a great series that kept you interested until the very end. However, it is a little risque at times, but nothing an adult couldn't handle. I would recommend it to those who I knew wouldn't be offended by the sexuality.
