I think Grey is an @$$. I couldn't find the book appealing at all. I mean it was full of *rawr* moments ... but for someone to act like that to me ... ooooohhhh man, I'd be the one whippin.

Re: 50 shades of grey - 06/02/12 02:04 PM

I have read all three books. Some "parts" of the book got a little repetative and I just flipped though some of "those parts" but all in all, I thought it was a good read.

Summer Girl book 2 was my favorite...and yes I loved the books as well - read all 3 in less than a week. Happy reading wink

I totally understand u BM...inasmuch as when I started reading I thought this is crazy by the 2nd book I was totally in love with and felt pretty much the same as Ana (willing to do anything for him LOL) I also re-read the books and will more than likely end up reading them a third time over the summer when i am on vacation.

I think I loved him before the end of the 1st book, but the 2nd book definitely sealed it wink Too bad it had to take a woman to create such a perfect (even with his messedupness) man...
Posted By: Tesla

Re: 50 shades of grey - 06/05/12 07:18 PM

I didn't get a chance to start the 2nd book. Maybe this weekend. There are certainly some endearing qualities in Mr. Grey, but I find some of the stuff a little creepy- like the stalking.

Re: 50 shades of grey - 06/05/12 10:30 PM

I just downloaded the first book last night. I was a little hesitant after reading some really bad reviews, but I just have to see what all the fuss is about!

We have very high standards when it comes to smut. I havent forked out the money either. Several girls in my running group were oohhing and aahhing over them...I just laughed and said it sounded pretty weak compared to the BDB.
Posted By: QCL

Re: 50 shades of grey - 06/06/12 02:41 PM

Nope. I am on book two. And it really reminded me of BDB. Thanks for that suggestion, by the way. smile
Posted By: Skittles

Re: 50 shades of grey - 06/06/12 02:42 PM

I haven't read this entire thread - who or what is BDB?
Posted By: Little Miss BSA

Re: 50 shades of grey - 06/06/12 02:53 PM

Maybe it's just me but I didn't find it as smutty as everyone was making it out to be...what I really enjoyed was the relationship between Christian and Ana... and I don't know what BDB is either... will I like that as much as I liked FSG??
Posted By: RR Sarah

Re: 50 shades of grey - 06/06/12 02:58 PM

Respectfully disagreeing here...Christian Grey and BDB...not even close IMO.

BDB = Black Dagger Brotherhood. It is a series written by JR Ward.
Posted By: RR Becca

Re: 50 shades of grey - 06/06/12 03:08 PM

One of the girls here read them recently and was asking what I thought (she assumed I'd read them because - and I'm quoting her exact words - I've "read everything else"). I told her I'd heard the smut was kind of tame and the editing was really bad. She agreed about the editing and said that they were "racy if the raunchiest thing you've ever read is Danielle Steele" but that she could see where they'd be considered tame compared to "some of those strange books you (meaning I) read." blush grin
Posted By: Tesla

Re: 50 shades of grey - 06/06/12 03:13 PM

RR Becca - that is hilarious!

I haven't read the BDB, but 50 Shades is, IMO - racier than Outlander - or maybe it's just the way they go about it (if you know what I mean). I prefer the romance in Outlander to the racy in Fifty Shades, but I've only read the first book and I have heard the second one gets better. I will agree, however, the editing in Fifty is HORRIBLE.
Posted By: RR Becca

Re: 50 shades of grey - 06/06/12 03:21 PM

I haven't read Outlander yet. It's on my list, but sci-fi will forever get bumped back when I run across dark, urban, or medevial fantasy material. I'm just not a huge sci-fi fan.
Posted By: Tesla

Re: 50 shades of grey - 06/06/12 03:22 PM

Oh- Outlander is not sci-fi like Stars Wars. It is more like fantasy. You really have to believe one far out thing and that's it. They are really good books and I highly recommend them, but I won't steal this thread! smile
Posted By: RR Becca

Re: 50 shades of grey - 06/06/12 03:25 PM

Oh, OK. I understood that they were primarily time-travel, which I tend to lump in with sci-fi.

Where would you rank them on the smut scale compared to Fifty?


ETA: Better yet, if you've read anything by Laurell K Hamilton, where would you rank Fifty's smut compared to her work?

Re: 50 shades of grey - 06/06/12 03:28 PM

Well, to be fair, it is time travel, but it is based on historical events and, in my view, more about the love story between the characters than the time travel- although that is part of their problem! smile

Fifty is smutty than Outlander, IMO.

I read the Fifty trilogy twice because I wanted to make sure I was giving them a fair shake with my assessment the first go round. Here's what I can tell you about the smut. The second time through I skipped over most of the sex scenes. I NEVER do that with Anita or Merry.
Posted By: RR Becca

Re: 50 shades of grey - 06/06/12 04:01 PM

Wow. OK - that tells me a lot. crazy Both Anita and Merry can get very "really? that's the best you can do?" laugh

i havn't read them yet, and i'm just not sure i will. I definetly won't pay for them, especially if the editing is that bad.
I love a good smut book- but despite everyone "falling" for christian, i just don't know that i could relate to him- a little messed up is ok, stalking not so much...

Re: 50 shades of grey - 06/06/12 05:37 PM

Not stalking like real stalking. Just kind of lightly stalking. A protective stalking, if you will.crazy

Re: 50 shades of grey - 06/06/12 05:55 PM

Actually, Fifty Shades of Grey started out as Twilight FanFiction.
Posted By: manimal

Re: 50 shades of grey - 06/06/12 05:58 PM

I had forgotten.... Twilight was a huge inspiration for her. It's interesting how her story grew into much more than a teenage (PG-13) romance. I can identify with that.

Fifty Shades of Black and Blue (I'm guessing this is a parody)
Fifty Shades of Beige: Book One of the Fifty Shades Parody
A Guy's Secret Guide to Fifty Shades of Grey
