Hi - I'm currently reading it. Was waiting at the airport and very bored so I decided to pick it up to see what the hype was all about.

Slow start but it seems to be picking up.  It's a bit disturbing. .... like why is it that she isn't scared of him when he showed her his playroom.. she's a virgin! But then again maybe she's desperate or very curious.

I hardly have time to read, but hopefully I'll get to finish this book by the end of June and start on the next one!

My SIL n her lady coworkers are all so crazy over Christian Grey! She gave me the books to read and it's not all that. His style is too kinky for me, I've read better ones. I'd say it's so so.

EL James said that she based the characters on Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, but amped them up. Obvioulsy the looks described in the book match to a tee, but knowing how goofy Pattinson is I don't see him playing the sophisticated Christian Grey. And then Stewart is such a lesbian and spaz that there's no way she could ever be Ana Steele, who is supposedly uber smart. Anna Kendricks is a better fit and maybe Chace Crawford as Grey.

My reaction to this book is..... WOW... do people really do that? Submissives and Dominants? WHAO!  Anastasia Steele is ANNOYING like Kristen Stewart playing Bella...

In the Epilogue where it was from Christian Grey's perspective, I thought that was very interesting to get into the mind of Christian!  E.L. James should have done it from Christian's point of view.

I listened to the audio book and it was funny hearing the reader's voice.  I think she orgasmed a few times throughout reading the book. LOL

Overall, book was okay.  I was hoping for a more dramatic ending. =P

Ana was annoying and did not come off as smart or interesting.

The first thing I thought when I began reading this book was that it reminded me a lot of Twilight.  And then when I saw the author on 20/20 saying she was inspired by the Twilight series, it all made sense to me.  I didn't like Twilight nor did I finish it either.  I only began reading 50 to take a break from Atlas Shrugged.  I guess it's time to go back.

what did you do in your past life that you would torture yourself in this life with such cruel and inhumane punishment?  :'(

I don't know, but I just felt the urge to read it. It was uncontrollable .... and so painful. :'( :-X

I also hear a lot of good reviews.  I don't have much time to read but I plan on picking up the first book this weekend from a friend.

the writing is really bad and how anyone think this book can change/save their relationship needs to be in a straight jacket.

Um, I don't know how this book can change or help anyone's relationship. lol It's a total fantasy after all. I love the whole series. It's a creative aspect of writing. Loosen up about the fact that it's such bad writing.  :D

I'm excited to see who will play Christian Grey. He is in his own league that they shouldn't even make a movie! I looked up that Audi car and man... drools.
