You've got that right. I retitled it 50 Shades of Get the Fuck Out of Here.

*SPOILER* at the end of the first book (there are three) she walks out after the Dom character gives her a very hard spanking. On her bottom. With his hand. No paddle, no blood drawn, just a fucking spanking that left her bottom sore. Oh - and she had the option of safewording. Instead she cries and runs away. Maybe I'm really out there, but it didn't get anywhere close to kinky for me.

And the writing is terrible, and it's full of Britishisms for what's supposed to be an American college student, in case the lack of real kink isn't enough for you to apply the time you'd spend reading that crap to something else. There is a review with animated GIFs, and while the reviewer doesn't seem to get any of the kink, she manages to make the review 10 times more entertaining than anything in the book, with far fewer words.

Status: offline 		If people do not want to hear about the book then here is a crazy idea, go with me on this ok, right when you see a thread called 50 shades of grey how about you don't read it? I know it is a bit out there I get that but seriously give it a shot yeah?

OP, I finished the last book yesterday morning, I completely see the appeal and it does what it says on the tin. I could rip into its flaws but everyone else has done that. I like to be a rebel, you know go against the grain of popular consensus a bit like 90% of the people on these sites who say how crap it is even though they haven't read them. Its not a shock though really, people hate success more than anything else, the same comments came after the popularity of Twilight and The Da Vinci Code.

The book is a middle aged womans fantasy, hence the plot is fantastical. It was fanfiction written because she loved to write, it was published by a small print on demand company and it took off. Most people can get their work published with companies like that so the idea that these are books that shouldn't be out there is a bit strange, one of the best things about the prolifiration on e-books and the web is that all sorts of books can get into the public domain, we get more choice.

Its a book that taps into a clear female fantasy, the idea of this beautiful, strong and rich man who everyone wants but he goes for the clumsy mousy bookworm, only she captures his heart and makes him change his isolated ways. Seriously its age old and people still love it. This was not a woman writing as the font of all BDSM knowledge, she didn't know it was going to be popular she didn't have a responsibility in that regard, its fiction, a story. Most people read fiction for what it is, and with this one they may well read and then buy some handcuffs once they have done.

About the intensity of Kink I just noticed mentioned above, everyone has different tolerences of kink. It seems as though because it is in a book people suddenly feel they can belittle that. I ask you to remember again, middle aged woman writing HER fantasy. She doesn't claim its a hardcore book with page after page of edgeplay, its a romance which involves some bondage and a little bit of spanking. There are kinky bits, but its about the exploration of her sexuality more than 'right how many fists can we get in her'

It is very easy to attack someone without adding anything of real value to the world, if people do not want to read the book but have time to wander around saying how crap it is, why not use that time, write somethine better, go on I dare you.

I feel the need to come onto every new thread and give a PSA:

Fifty Shades of Grey critics slam bondage stereotypes

BDSM advocates say E.L. James's books perpetuate myths about BDSM community

...While the books are fiction, this explanation plays into stereotypical attitudes toward the alternative sex lifestyle, says Tristan Taormino, a U.S.-based sex educator and author of The Ultimate Guide to Kink.

“There is an assumption that the reason he’s kinky is because he is damaged, because he had a rough childhood,” she says.

“There’s this assumption that there’s this one-to-one correspondence, which in real life there’s isn’t.”

The reality of BDSM

Studies on the psychology of BDSM (bondage, discipline, slave and master) practitioners have found that very few are mentally disturbed. If anything, the opposite is true.

An Australian study from 2002 that interviewed 19,307 respondents aged 16 to 59 found that BDSM buffs were no more likely to have been coerced into sexual activity than those who engage in so-called “vanilla sex,” the generally accepted term for non-BDSM sexual activity.

The study also suggested that men who partook in BDSM were less likely to have psychological distress than other men.

Not sure why it was quoted to me though.

Again people read it differently, I was mildly annoyed by the idea that they were all a little messed up, but then Ana wanked the kink as much as anything, she craved it. The book has encouraged people in this country at any rate to talk about BDSM in a new way, not as a dirty secret but a valid fantasy. Sure the book is being mocked from here to sunday, but the practice is not, seriously I think its frigging awesome.

Status: offline 		Well, i'll know now what to do when i enjoy a book of fiction about bdsm.... keep it to myself or i'll be shredded to tears by the forum of collarme!!!

Seriously, it's not a book where you can *learn* about bdsm clearly, it's like an arlequin (do i spell that right?) kind of book, which is easy to read and easy to get into. After getting my nose in philosophy books all year long, it's a breath of fresh air for me.

Thank you Lilly, i rather enjoy knowing that the book wasnt meant to be in the first place, it'll give it a new twist.

Ann Summers has a "50 Shades of Grey section". My sub found it, and I wasn't sure where to post it, so I decided to do it here.

It irks me for some reason.
