I read it because of all the hype. But I thought it was more about the relationship strugle between the two. The sex in the book was a small bonus. So it was an okay read for sex better for the relationship. Because I believe everyone faces those problem and related to those more.

Hate it. Avoid that shit like the plague.

Waste of paper and time

Read them. While I think the books to do portray a healthy BDSM relationship correctly, I picked it up as a "fluff read." I was not expecting some Pulitzer Prize masterpiece and nobody should approach it that way. I just hope that people who are serious about BDSM will do more research than just flipping through these books.

i read them to be able to develop and offer an honest opinion. The image of BDSM in these books is insulting, demeaning, offensive, unsafe and inaccurate. The writing was weak and unskilled.

Other. I don't avoid it but I don't really have desire to read it either.

Read them and hated them.

I read them all, don't ask me why, and they really are terribly written.

I don't really love it or hate it...But after reading through portions of it I honestly feel the book has more comedic value than anything. When a book contains quotes like:

There's not a possible argument you could make to me to make me believe that this book was meant to be taken seriously

I'm on the third one. I've responded to the first two on my blog, and did reviews of them here. The writing isn't very good, but James does develop as a writer with each book.
As far as content, some of the sex scenes are hot. The BDSM is not realistic (speaking from someone in a D/s relationship), and I HATE how Grey's BDSM is a result of his childhood abuse. Actually, it makes me quite angry!

I have not read the books and I do not plan to.
11/12/2012
I read the series. It was okay, I liked it.
11/12/2012
Avoided/ avoiding it like the plague. There are better ways to spend money, and far better books on BDSM activities...
11/12/2012
I read it, it's okay.
11/12/2012
I read them and enjoyed them, cause I took them for what they are, a romanance novel with some kinky sex thrown in.
11/12/2012
I couldn't make it through the first book. I lead my local kink group and expected questions about them, so I at least tried... but I failed. The BDSM that was in the book was shit.
I gave up. There was nothing healthy about it.

I hate it because it's still TOO close to fanfiction...the author shouldn't be getting paid for it . I'd rather people spend their money on original erotica. Authors with their own ideas!

I found it insulting to the BDSM community. I felt like some of it was just borderline rape.
