50 Shades of Gray
Has anyone heard of this book? The Times featured it today as this big sensation that's "gone viral" but none of my girlfriends have mentioned it.
I figure if the Times is making an erotica novel front page news, there must be something it it.
ETA: Sorry for the repeat post, but somebody *reported* me for posting on FHF.

Re: 50 Shades of Gray
Just finished it last night................on to book #2, "50 Shades Darker".
It was a really good book, I couldn't put it down. I liked the characters and I was invested in what was happening but it you're prude'ish it might not be the book for you. It's has A LOT of sex, kinky sex.

Re: 50 Shades of Gray
I'm almost done with book 2. I'm not really a fan, but I HAVE to finish the series to see what happens between them. Every other page is a sex scene, not my style. But I've heard it described as "mom porn"

Re: 50 Shades of Gray
IMO, it's not a good book, not well written at all.
Since they have sex every 3 pages, I equate it to porn. Very little plot, lots of sex, bad dialog.

I heard that too!!
It's usually not my kind of book either but for some reason, I can't put it down. I am intrigued by their weird relationship.

No one is saying its going to be the next great American novel  for some reason its reaching mainstream audiences not just normal romance/erotica readers.

Re: 50 Shades of Gray
A co-worker told me about it so I read the entire series. It's not well written and it's basically sex every other page. However, the story itself isn't terrible and I love romances and happy endings in general. I agree, if you're prudish, do NOT read this series!
