Despite the fact that this story is basically stolen from Stephenie Meyers Twilight and that 50 shades of Grey was originally a (very bad) Bella and Edward fanfic story, I loved the first book. Ive read it many times. It is however a copy of everything from the Twilight but with tiny changes and a more sexier twist. It is not an original, and I still feel slightly offended on Meyers behalf.

The second book is decent. Not great and not amazing, but decent. The thrill has gone a bit but we get to see a bit more story. It should have ended after this book, I regret reading the third now.

But this last book I simply cant recommend. There is so much thats wrong with it and its badly written. Halfway in I kept finding myself annoyed and angry. Ana is just too much of a pushover, and every time she wants to talk about things she caves in and they have sex. After a while I was so annoyed I didnt even want to read those scenes because there was just simply too much that needed to be told, discussed or talked about, for me to enjoy anything after that. This happen untill the end of the book. There is so much she wants to know and should be told and he is just being too much of a jerk and she caves in everytime. The sex scenes were skimmed through after the 100th time of this. I ended up not liking him at all.
Even though he talks a bit in the very end about things they should have settled long ago, it still wasnt nearly enough and she should definitly demand more from him, and stop giving in.

I kept waiitng for her to demand he rehire Prescott, which would have been the right thing to do and kind of asumed, but no. She lets him act like a jerk once more. After that I lost all love and respect for the two characters.

The whole inner goddess thing is annoying as hell.

Why does this book suddenly skip events? Now there are flashbacks instead, where before there were detailed events. Both confusing and again, annoying, the way its being written.

The epilogue I didnt care for, it was badly written.

The Christian POV preview I didnt like either. I dont need to know this story from his POV with the way he thinks, its way too filthy and I wont be able to love it. I have no doubt she will exploit the fans and make a Christian POV book version. I wont be reading those.

This book is 600 pages too long. Its nothing but smut, thers no real quality or love in it, as opposed to the first book. Its too frustrating and leaves you annoyed and you keep feeling something is missing.
I have read the original Twilight fanfic version of this story (Master of the Universe) and it was godawful. Even then it had nothing to do with Bella or Edward, just random smut with the same character names and basic storyline attached. But she did a good job changing it a bit and made it into Fifty Shades of Grey. It is however, still a stolen work imo.

The movie is decent, I like that they made it exactly like in the book, even most of the lines were exact. Thats rare. But I hope very much they will deviate from the third book when they make the third movie, its just too awful if they wont.

Read the first book, many times. Then go read the second book, once or twice. Avoid the third book like the plague itself.
