Sick to the back teeth of the hype of 50 shades of grey

Everywhere you go people are talking about it, at work, while your out, in clubs, on here, its everywhere

you cant say anything sexual anymore without people bring the book up or asking if you have read it

Its a book for gods sake i just dont get it

Well glad i've got that off my chest

As you were

I don't need to read it

I've heard enough about it to know it will hold nothing for me.

You won't be going to the pics when the film comes out at the cinema next year then NN ?

I think it's an interesting novel, especially so in that it will encourage more to cross the bridge. I think also that things in the public awareness are going more mainstream, this is also shown in exhibitions like erotica - just my thoughs.

i agree with naughtymympho on this one, so bored of it, being a self confessed literary snob i wouldnt read chick lit no matter how much porn they chuck in, just cynical marketing if you ask me and that doesnt make a decent read for me x

The fact that its found its way into the 'vox populi' doest worry me, nor that its a nine minute Social Zeitgeist.

What bothers me (apart from the fact that's poorly written) is that I don't believe it projects the right image of BDSM and the central relationship could be _iewed as verging on destructive.

I weep that there are many out there now who believe that possession of a set of Ben-Wa balls is a passport to destroying / ignoring boundaries!

I've no intention of reading it - but you never know - it might encourage people to be a little more experimental !

Which might mean some interesting new folk on here - so annoying as it is - it could have its plus points!!

I'm assuming it's 5 trillion shades of beige, and glad you mentioned boredom with it NN. I've naturally had a natural resistance to it, and only caught it on a bookshelf, when my eyes were wandering once.

now you've tempted me with the joke thread, was trying to be principled and not read any ** shades titles..

all in favour of folk experimenting, anything to take away the 'shackles' of 'society and religion' which constrain the majority in these sceptered isles..

would welcome more genuine folk but the 'i am your mr grey' references in some guys profiles tells us they dont have a clue albeit inevitable following the hype..

Totally agree!

Found my dads copy of 'Delta of Venus' when I was about 14! Went on to read the 'Tropics' books and progressed onto some great reads in later life!

A couple of recent goodies are the two 'Cassandra' books - an ex bought on LH - which led to loads of fun!

So as long as people don't assume 50 shades is the 'be all' - and delve deeper - its all good!

If they stop at 50 shades they're gonna be sorely dissapointed!!

I haven't read it, I have however been rather condemning of it. Surely it's just a mills and boon with a bit of black lace thrown in?

When confronted at work with the by a girl who has read it my opinion was confirmed.

She asked me, 'if I haven't read it how do I know it doesn't read good.' Now I can't fault her logic but her grammar does give a little clue as to whether the book is a pile of shit or not.

Just my two pennies there. Steve x

The main character, Christian Grey, is quite obviously deranged. This does not however, deter Ana, who for some inexplicable reason, has spent so long with her head in a book that she has never looked in a mirror and noticed that she is a "total babe". A "total babe" who also happens to be a 21 year old virgin. No, Ana, in the space of 3 weeks, falls so crazily in love with "Mr Grey" that she manages to bypass the whole deranged thing and instead concentrates all her efforts on a) going from virgin to porn star faster than Hussain Bolt off the blocks and b) deciding whether to let him hit her with stuff. As you do.

As for Mr Grey, obviously, readers can't be allowed to see him as simply a deranged, manipulative psycho so let's give him smouldering good looks, a few zillion quid to throw around and hey, and this is the clincher, the ability to love art and music (y'know, like Nazi's do in the war films). (Note - the bit where he plays the "haunting" piano piece, semi naked, with his eyes closed actually made me laugh so much that I almost wet myself - in a non-orgasmic way. Check it out....enjoy! ). As if that wasn't enough he also has a personal and financial interest in saving the world from famine. Just that old world peace and cancer to sort out and then hey, job's a good `un. I mean really, how did the world ever shamble along without him? So what made this beautiful, charismatic and talented man so brutal? Could it be a traumatic childhood perhaps? Why, yes I think it could...yaaaaawn....

So, the 2 beautiful people come together (Oh my, another pun) and the rest of the book is basically about Ana wondering if she should let him hit her with stuff and then letting him hit her with stuff and Mr Grey wondering if he should stop hitting her with stuff but still hitting her with stuff while she whines on about wanting "more" love and less of the hitting stuff and he whines on about how he doesn't know how to give "more" cos he has only ever hit people with stuff.

In between these nonsensical blatherings they have lots of sex, which, like piano playing, speaking foreign languages and making zillions of quid, he possesses boundless expertise. Obviously. Luckily, virginal Ana also has her "inner Goddess" to guide her on the art of sex play and soon becomes an orgasm machine, chucking them out all over the place in a rampant, fevered haze of lust. So much so that she overlooks Mr Grey's general bastardry and bends over nicely for a few beatings. She is also too enraptured to take much notice his incessant stalking, which would have got lesser men arrested. Oh, and his `feeder' tendencies that, if successful, would have surely added a good 10 stone onto Ana's lovely buttocks which in turn would have incurred the cost of a refurb' to the `red room of pain' when his ceiling shackles needed reinforcing. Luckily he can afford it.

As many other readers have noted, the writing is appallingly poor and, if you removed the sex bits, would resemble a love struck teenager's diary. It's all been said before so I won't dwell on it. I will just say, if you are looking for erotic fiction, look elsewhere, if you are looking for an unintentionally laugh out loud bit of fluff and nonsense then crack open a bottle, put your feet up and prepare to be amused. Personally I would just say that there goes a day of my life that I will never get back. Oh my!

I believe the Slut Queen of the Galaxy is widely believed to be non other than Ursula Gallumbits, the "triple-breasted whore of Eroticon 6". Or so my copy of the HHGTTG tells me.....
