so, my g/f started reading 50 shades of grey.

I read like a chapter to check it out and it was probably the worst written novel I have ever seen. Seriously, I don't get why girls are so riled up over this book, a good looking billionaire wants to do bdsm sex with a virgin, really?!?!?! What a deep, clever plot!!

And all this nonsense about old ladies divorcing in real life because of this book, wtf???

Maybe lady users could explain me what's so special about this book, because my g/f couldn't.

I seriously doubt anybody could explain it to you in an understandable rational manner. I have only read a few laughable sentences from it, and from what I hear about it, the rest is not better. Only the fact that it was originally a fanfic of Twilight must mean something.

That is to say, you are probably on the wrong forum if you want the answer. Try a shiny girly site full of hysterical teenagers and you will probably hear a lot more about it. :)

Sorry, I can't. My uterus just had a fit and then I just cry. But I am sure any other woman could do it since we are all the same and share the same tastes.

An past hook-up I am now Just Friends with explained it pretty well. She said that the book is really appealing to women that don't have great sex. She said it was laughable. I took that as a compliment!

For awhile there it was pretty entertaining to see how many people out and about were reading it. I live in NYC, and when it was super-trendy, you could see about one lady per subway car, two or three per crowded coffee shop all sheepishly trying not to grin while reading it. It's died off now, simply judging by my not seeing nearly as many copies any more. Whatever, I hope it helped many women of all (sexually active) ages and lifestyles to try to have hot sex with their partner. Women wanting sex is good, therefore 50 Shades of Grey is good. It's kind of silly that so many women apparently didn't want hot sex before this book, though.

Well, I live in Brazil, this book has just "exploded" here. I just think its funny that my g/f calls me a nerd for being hooked into a soiaf calling it "make belief" when in fact the human interactions described in Martins world are a lot more "believable" .

That's a wee bit like wondering why one would watch Lesbian Orgy Part IV,when say, The World Unseen is a much more accurate depiction of women loving women-50 Shades is pornography. It is for DIY gratification.

It isn't good literature sure, but then no one is claiming that it is.
