I'm sorry but I'm going to keep saying the same thing I have on every review of the Fifty Shades of Grey stories. While I had extremely excited about reading the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy. And had heard extremely good things about the stories from people. I have to say I was extremely disappointed in the stories all together. First of all the way the stories were written was very juvenile to me. I even had to look the author to find out how old the author was. Because I felt as if the story was being written by a teenager. There were also a ton of typos in the stories. Second of all, through out all 3 stories they became very repetitive to me. I have no problem reading Erotica and BDSM books, there are some very good Erotica and BDSM books out there. But I feel if your going to write a certain area THAN you must do your research on the area. I have read better written Erotica and BSDM books for free. Anastasia was a very weak character and than there's only so many times you can read about a character biting there bottom lip. And if I could give this NO stars than I would do that

I read this book it about two weeks. I couldn't put it down. Now I just want more of Christian Grey. EL James really knew what she was doing when she wrote this book.

EL James 50 Shades of Grey is the best set of books ever........since Twighlight!! lol I never thought I would enjoy either of these types of books. In fact, my sister gave them to me and I threw them in the closet and I thought they just weren't my type of book. Well, I kept hearing everyone talking about them so figured I would just glance through the first few pages and see what all the hype was. Well.............let me tell ya. I now know what the hype was about. I think it was so off the beaten path, that I just couldn't put it down as I was amazed at the things that were in this book. I will tell you, my husband said that week, boy, sex this week was the best ever. Little does he know that Christian had everything to do with it!! lol Loved it!!

very predictable, and not realistic to real life

I feel like I'm the only one on the planet who thought this book was lackluster. Especially since my friends and the rest of the world were totally captivated by these books. I can't believe the hype it's generated. The storyline was really predictable and corny, some parts were just ridiculously unbelievable. The writing was pretty terrible to boot. I'm amazed how cliche the sex scenes were, I found myself skipping pages to get on with the story. I won't be rushing to the hardware store for bondage gear anytime soon.

The book was entertaining although poorly written. You can tell that the books were hurried to print.

Look, it's not a book on brain surgery. It's not going to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. If you are looking for an entertaining, erotic, romantic book, this is it.

Really great if you are looking for something to pass time, not informative at all, but finteresting when you think about it

I am in love with this series! If you can stand a litttle sexy talk, read this series!

Great book, When I decided to read it I wasn't sure what to expect. I hadn't heard any of the details just that it was a great book. I wasn't expecting the sex stuff but it was an interesting aspect. I haven't read the last book in the series yet but I will eventually.

I listened to this book and the next two in the trilogy in quick succession using Audible from Amazon! I loved it, although quite racy, I enjoyed the story.

OMG!!! I freaking love this book! It is hot and steamy but that not the main focus of this book. Which is what most think. The main focus is looking pass Mr. Grey's 50 shades and seeing he is truly in love with Ana in his own way! Even if say you hate this book you are lying to yourself. Best book ever every girl wants her own Mr. Grey!!! I'm on part 3 and thirsty for a part 4!!!

I can't believe a publishing company put this out! I'm sure the twilight crowd will love this drivel, reads like it was written by a teenager. complete waste of my time, good use as kindling or toilet paper.

I was disappointed in these books. The story line was good but the writing was bad. Very repetitive. I loved the idea of it being an ?erotic? story. But after the first love scene it just became the same thing over and over. I started skipping pages to get back to the story. Also the characters had the same conversations over and over again. Yes we get it she doesn't eat much, and yes we get it he has issues?can we move on to someone doing something now.

Loved the email exchanges between them. Good story line not just about the sex.
