I never understood the frenzy. I think it was more media driven than anything. 4951

I haven't read the books or seen the movie.  I am not an S&M fan.  I like where the women is in control of things. 4951

The author creeps me out. She looks like someone who would go to the grocery store and stock up on candy and sweets to binge write from her bed.    4951

Emoticon  I read all the books in less than a weekend and didn't really like them.  No idea why we thought the movie would be better. 4951

Same with the Twilight books. How anyone got thru them not wanting to smack Bella upside her head, I don't know.
 
@Fallon: My DH read all of them and saw the movies.  I got to page 20 of the first book and had to stop.

That reminded me of the movie Irreconcilable Differences with Shelly Long and Ryan O'Neil.
 
Edited: I too watched it over the weekend and wasn't impressed, I also didn't like the ending, does that mean there will be a part two?! 4951

It's amazing how badly written this book is. I managed about 15 pages. I saw the movie because my wife wanted to see it. The love story is high school stuff at best and the S&M stuff is mild and predictable.  4951

I honestly thought a middle school girl wrote the books, not from the S&M angle, but from the maturity level of the books.  Just can't stand weak mealy mouthed women.  Same with the Twilight books.  How anyone got thru them not wanting to smack Bella upside her head,  I don't know.
 
@Fallon: lol - who is Bella???  Are you getting fifty shades mixed up with Twilight????  I'm easily amused I guess - Loved both series....

@Auctioneer: 50 Shades Was A Fan Fiction For Twilight..Same Storyline And Characters Just Trying To Be More adult. 50 was written so poorly though, I had a hard time getting through.

I got the set on Kindle.  I could barely finish the first book and didn't bother reading the other two.  My wife read all three but wasn't impressed.  The writing and girl were very simple and immature.Not interested in the movie. 4951

The movie was so poorly made and badly acted, I can only imagine how boring the books were. 4951
