Didn't find it too bad. I enjoy reading the Sookie Stackhouse novels as I enjoy True Blood so much & I enjoy comparing the differences made between book & TV. The writing isn't spectacular, but it its not a shambles either & its written in a clever way that leaves you always wanting to know what's going to happen next. In comparison to the books before, I didn't enjoy the storyline as much but I'm hoping the next book will give me something more.

Well. Softcore pornography much? Obviously EL James is in need of a good fuck.

But aside from that I actually really enjoyed the story. The love story. Its a fucked up love story. But a love story nonetheless. In the beginning I was repulsed by the story but I couldn't bring myself to stop reading. By the end I wanted them to sort out their differences, their problems, their trust issues & live happily ever after.

I know the kind of love that Ana feels for Christian. Wholeheartedly consumed by a magnificent man who you love & cherish dearly; more than you could ever express with words. Luckily mine doesn't come with a 'red room of pain'.... At least I definitely hope not!!

The things you're willing to do & sacrifice for the people you love. This book encapsulates that. And if you're just keen for a book with a lot of fucking, then you'll enjoy it too.

On to book #2!!

great ending to the fame game series.

typical LC book. no surprises with how the book was constructed or written which in this case is what you want.

LC's books are a good read if you want something easy and fun to read. nothing too serious and something you'll be able to get through quick without using much brain power.

i'll always love little LC...

Love her. Loved the book. Exactly what I imagined it would be. Now to adopt some of those guidelines into my own life.
