    Fifty Shades of Grey

    Anyone read this book? I bumped into many Mums here in the UK and everyone knows the story apart from me! So I ordered it at Amazon the three books. And now reading the first book, I am telling you I was in shock!!!!

    I gather it is a roller coaster of a read...

    Seems to me if a bunch of blokes were all talking about an overhyped book, and how they "sorted themselves out" after reading it...............then the women would be tutting and calling us animals and perverts

    But it's ok for them

    I agree.

    It's a pity the average Western woman doesn't just make more of an effort at keeping her weight within the confines of the human norm rather than that of a Hippo, and perhaps accept the fact that they have been put on this earth to compliment the stronger sex, rather than to compete with them.

    Maybe then they wouldn't have to resort to fantasy as a means of sexual gratification, a tendency which would undoubtedly have been roundly condemned had the readers been men.

    My wife read them, and I had a glimpse. I wasn't particularly impressed, I thought that the S&M/Bondage knowledge was poor, and was almost like an outsiders view looking in rather then someone involved in the scene and aware of the pyschology. I found some of the writing quite poor and difficult to read. A lot of "and so and so said then, and so and so said this, and so and so said that, and so and so said this........"
    My wife found them a little bit interesting.

    I quite enjoyed this book. Nice to get me occupied on lunch breaks. Keep me awake from a 12-hour shift
