I will admit, these books are extremely addictive. You get to reading them and you can't stop. I feel that Anastasia and Christian jump right in and skip the part of getting to know each other and sleep together. I wanted a little more to build on than just them sleeping together and then here comes all the guidelines and rules. There are terms in these books that are way overused. It gets a bit annoying to keep seeing "Ahhh" and "apex" in the books. I did like that Christian went a little easier on Anastasia for her first time, but then he did a 360. It has pretty heated parts, which is great for this book, but I can't tell you how many times she refers to Christian as a "God". I just want to tell her to get over the praising and worshiping him like one.
I will be honest to start this post, i am just over half way done with this book. This book has been so popular on pinterest, Facebook, even the local radio DJ's have been talking about it so I decided to give it a try despite it being a fanfiction story. I am having a hard time finishing a few pages each day because it's an incredibly frustrating book. Honestly, I do not see the allure to it! We have a girl who has just a little bit of self doubt that allows herself to be mentally abused into submission just because a pretty guy is interested in her and now I have gotten in to the physical abuse portion. She keeps saying how "f***** up" Christian is but she is JUST as messed up for allowing this scenario! It is quite pathetic that this has such a strong following. It speaks poorly of our society. If I finish this book it will be surprising, much less the next 2. Also, how will they turn this into a movie? It is basically a porno with a slightly deeper plot than a pizza boy knocking on the door.
Revise: I have now finished the book and still strongly dislike it. The ending made me much happier, but I know there are 2 more books.

It is well worth the read. It isn't the greatest written book but it does light your fire and sensual awareness. I read all three books in a week because I wanted to know what happens next. Yes, there are many errors, repeated words and obvious thesaurus words you might need to look up but the story is great. I am rereading already just to relive the excitement. YouTube the songs mentioned for a heightened experience. Definitely going on my fav list.
Book 1 has a lot of "kinky fuckery" and spice.
