I'm debating whether to read 50 Shades of Grey...

Can I get some reviews from everyone? I'm not sure whether I'll laugh myself silly reading it, somehow fall in love with it, or be scarred for life!

I've read all three, waste of time.
It's boy meets girl.........that's it, no story or plot.(all tho there was a hint of a plot at the end of the second) But I do know some people who enjoyed them. So maybe it's not that bad.

a film of it? is it going to be black & white?Grin

Don't bother. Seriously. the sex scenes are quite good, admittedly, but the rest of it is so utterly rubbish that, trust me, you are not that desperate for an orgasm.

I couldn't even finish the book it was so bad.

Read The Pervocracy's reviews of it instead.

And then download some decent erotica if that's what you're after.

I was so bored by page 20 that I abandoned it. Never got to any of the 'juicy' bits either.

Well I tried and got so bored I never finished it. Didn't get to any 'rude' bits and I think I was a quarter of the way through and decided I didn't really care!

I love a trashy read but god 50 shades was crap. I only got halfway through, it was sludgy. Not sexy at all.

I haven't read it because I heard it's rubbish. I am partial to a good rude book though and there is well written stuff out there. Some of the Black Lace ones are very raunchy imho. I do sound like an old gimmer sorry Grin

Surely it's been reviewed to death already?

Anyway, the film is out next year, maybe wait for that?

It's absolute rubbish - don't bother. It's an appalling excuse for literature.
