"So descriptive compared to the movie. Love it"
"Love the trilogy, both the movies and books"
"I loved Fifty Shades of Grey, it was a wonderfully written love story that both amused me and made me cry. It's a must read, for those who didn't like it, you need to get with the times and stop being such a prude. I have read thousands of books in my time right from soppy mills and boons books to some of the greats, like Wilbur Smith and Emily Bronte, 50 shades is a modern well written love story that caters to women of all ages. Get over the sex scenes and look at the real story. It's what really happens in the real world."
"Leaves you wanting more"
"Was stuck on ideas of what to get my older sister (she's in her late 20s). She was a bit embarrassed about reading this but when she had finished it, she said she really enjoyed it. Now she wants the rest of the trilogy."
