Hi, I've know 50 shades of Gray since it started as a fanfiction, Master of my Universe, to be honest I really love it as a fanfic but as a book...well, let's say the are better ones.
My favorite are the Dark Hunters series by Sherrelyn Kenyon, Lords of the Underground by Gena Showalter, The Brotherhood by J.R.Ward those are paranormal romance novels.

Lol it was so poorly written that I was barely able to finish the series...

It was novel at first, but when the author used the same one hundred words over and over, same adjectives, everything...it became painful, and not in a kinky way...ha ha!

I was so excited to read this. . .then I found an article on it and read some excerpts and there is no way now! The "inner goddess" and "laters baby" was enough for me to decide it's a NO!

I'll be honest, I like it so far. But I heard everyone talk about how it was "SOO DIRTY"...and it's just not. I'm not sure what I was expecting but that wasn't it. Idk, maybe the 2nd and 3rd books are "dirty"?

maybe some people's definition of dirty is different than yours :lol:

Agreed! Not dirty at all!

"Dirty" is subjective. I've read The Story of O, and 9 & 1/2 Weeks too (many years ago), and they weren't as dirty as everyone made them out to be either. Give me The Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon any day. Sexy, naughty, funny, adventurous.

Yes you should read them. SO much better than 50 shades of boring.

The question is, I've avoided reading them up until now. My mom has the ebooks on her iPad, so it's not like I have to pay for them.... but do I want to subject myself to this horribly written nonsense? I feel like I'm obligated, that I just HAVE TO KNOW.

Ugh. Decisions.

Do it. I mean, I don't think it is THATTTTT bad. and if you don't, you will always wonder =)

I haven't read it, I'm not really interested in paying for it... lol. I did, as a joke, ask for my mom to buy it for my (28th) birthday and she told me I wasn't allowed to read it. :lol:

All I know is... I'm not eating pancakes at her house!!!

Too badly written to read seriously. Fun to glean for quotes so nasty they become hilarious!

It's not the subject matter that bothers me, it's the fact that it's so poorly written. The premise is ok, the plot could be better, but the diaglogue is indescribably terrible, abominable...

"My inner goddess is beside herself, hopping from foot to foot."

Oh brother! Doesn't that sound like an 8th grader wrote it?

There are a lot of good erotic novels out there, much better than this one.
YOU TOOK THE WORDS RIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH! Most poorly written book I've read in YEARS.

Was hoping to enjoy the spicy subject matter but could not get beyond the insipid dialogue.
