I found the books deeply disturbing and couldn't even complete them. If what Christian Grey did to Ana is love, then I suggest men kept their emotions to themselves.

It's weird the kind of things we glorify in this age. Lack of respect. SM (?). Bad behavior accompanied by excuses.
Or the date a bad guy and try taming him hogwash. That's nonsense.
And to imagine the books sold over a 100 million copies with a very unattractive plotline and bad storytelling. The world is crazy

Anyway, I applaud the writer of this piece. Violence is not love. Irrespective of 'sexy' fantasies, no man should have to manipulate and disregard a woman like Mr Grey did, and no woman should have to listen to useless excuses like he gave, nor let him talk her into believing she's really in charge (But of course she enjoyed it up to the point he used an actual whip on her )

Already made up my mind not to see the movie. Can't imagine how disturbed I'll be if I have to put a face to the disturbing images from the books.

CoCoLav:


Nahh...I would rather download Annie then although I don't know how the torrent download works.

Timbuktou:
As in, you bought Book 1, then Book 2, then Book 3? What motivated you to move to the sequels when the first one was "bad"? Or did you buy them all in one day at the same time? Or did you just purchase them for research purposes, as in, to find out how much depraved we are as humans?

Not trying to put you on blast but I find this post of yours contradictory. Just saying.

Votukpa:


Realize that your comment was intentionally cynical and unfriendly....and directed towards one with positive and good intentions.

UjSizzle:

I got all three at once like I always do when a story's a trilogy or has multiple parts (hate reading and waiting).
I'm a bookie and when a book get too much publicity, a girl's tempted to see what it's about.
Well, it wasn't worth it imo.

In the author's defence though, I also know that every writer has a targeted audience, and I definitely wasn't the intended audience for this one.
Maybe people with 'dark' fantasies will find it pleasurable *shrug*

ronnyfam:



It's not just a movie,things like that happen in the real
World.

Timbuktou:

Makes sense, then. From what I hear, from totally reliable sources, it's sub-par literature. No need wasting time on it.

*smile at not being part of her target audience. Did you give them out or sell them, perchance?

P.S Women are strange creatures sha. They'll say no man should call them 'properties', yet get all tingly when a man treats an imaginary character as such.
Dark fantasies everywhere

candygosh:
Lovely write up...It depicts sickening things that people do all in d name of sexual fantasies. But it's just a movie

UjSizzle:

It IS sub-par literature. I tried to find something compelling about it and failed. But hey, sex sells


Nah. My books are my babies; good or bad, they all stay. I have over-read, unread, and half-read books all over the place. But I also don't think I could give someone this book to read.

Ever heard these words "Subliminal message"?

Timbuktou:
Thanks for confirming that. Though, I'm not particularly convinced it's about sex selling as much as the book having the opportunity to coincide with fantasies. There are thousands of well-written erotica-based books that haven't sold a hundred copies, not to talk of 100million.
I hear you, you'd probably feel bad giving to someone. Thtd be punishment?

yeancar001:
see you oooo......u didn't read the trilogy u are cringing? Your opinion though. You only publicised the movie even more. You know what they say about bad publicity

Fifty Shades of Grey has topped best-seller lists around the world, including those of the United Kingdom and the United States.[5][6] The series has sold over 100 million copies worldwide and been translated into 52 languages,[7] and set a record in the United Kingdom as the fastest-selling paperback of all time.[8] Critical reception of the book, however, has tended toward the negative, with the quality of its prose generally seen as poor.
