Embarrassed to admit this but actually quite enjoying 50 shades...

[ChiefPotterer]

I really had very low expectations when my MIL (cringe) gave me this book but I have to admit I started it last night and whilst it will obviously not win any esteemed literary prizes and lacks depth and reads in places like a Sweet Valley High, I am actually enjoying it!.
It is not my usual read, I generally prefer literary fiction but as a compulsive, escapist read I think it is ticking the boxes.
Anyone else brave enough to stick their neck out and admit they enjoyed it?.

I'm on the third book. I have enjoyed it and so have all my friends. My mother is reading it. Little shame faced as now she knows what I've been reading haha :) harmless fun and heard a lot of talk of a film being made. Might get my dp to watch the film might teach him something :)

Glad you are enjoying them theone, it would actually work very well on film-I wonder who they would cast as Mr Grey?!.

i love it, finished the first book last night and bought the second one this morning. its very different from what i usually read, but i cant put these books down!!! i want a mr grey

I have read the first after purchasing it yesterday and now on 2nd. quite enjoying them but had low expectations

I'm just at the end of the third one but want to read that bit tonight

I read the last bit last night. My friend says that the writer will be writing more from christians point of view but she thinks its goingto be very dark. I don't think it will be as bad as she thinks :)

I'm gonna give up soon, just cant get into it.

I read all 3 in a week on hols recently and boy did I wish the kids had a separate room

I'm about half way through the first book and am loving it as a bit of easy-reading, escapism after the kids have gone to bed. Definitely different to my usual read..

Hands up, my life feels slightly empty without Christian Grey!!!! I read all 3 books in 2 weeks - nothing seems to compare at the moment so any recommendations are much appreciated!

Sorry YABVVVVVVU These books should be renamed Fifty Shade of Shit..

Also I would NOT be borrowing someones second hand copy

I'm 2/3rds of the way through the 1st book and am enjoying it. It's not as filthy as I thought it was going to be - I'm more gripped by the romance and psychological aspect of the relationship. I thought I'd read it as the whole world seemed to have and I didn't want to be left out lol think there's more too it than it just being a naughty book.

lol read all in four days in the end
