Hi Ladies, Sorry, I am so late with my response, but I am actually just finishing the book. The first couple of chapters were kinda slow for me so I took about 2 weeks off before I actually got into it. I must say, I am glad that I did. Since I took so long to respond, I'm going to just provide my thoughts on the book because most of my responses to the questions are very similar to what you all have already shared.
I really enjoyed the book once I got into it and must admit that I didn't notice the grammatical errors and poor writing until others brought it to my attention. I have also found it interesting the number of men that I have come across that are also reading this trilogy. I've even caught my husband looking over my shoulder a few nights. LOL.
Although the thought of Christian Grey was very sexy to me, I could not get with this "lifestyle". Don't get me wrong, I'm up for adventure and enjoy trying new things to keep the romance going, but some of this was a bit much. There were many times I wanted to whoop his *ss like he did Ana's at the end. So for awhile, it was hard for me to get into it because it just wasn't realistic for my life. But I began to feel for Ana and Christian and hope I get to the part where they live a normal life, happily ever after.
And on to the end, I am pissed. Part of me doesn't even want to keep reading because I HATED how it ended, but almost everyone I have shared my frustration with has said "just keep reading", so I'm on to book 2. It better be good ... :-)
Hopefully, I'll catch up and can respond in a more timely fashion with the next two books!
I just got the book the other day and will start reading it tonight, so I may be a little off with the schedule, but count me in for upcoming discussions.
I agree with everyone that we should keep the book club alive. I will make a better effort at participating for the next book!
Due to some technical difficulties, we will begin the live discussion for The Help at 7:30 p.m. Look forward to chatting with everyone soon! RJM
Hi Everyone! I am also Ronda (4.KO.04) and I am so excited about being a part of this book club. I probably haven't read a book since I graduated from college, so I'll try to keep up. :-) I look forward to the discussions and hopefully meeting everyone one day!
