@ Izroth.. there is more spanking in the first 20 pages of the Sleeping Beauty trilogy than the entire 50 SHades failure. Its just NOT a good story unless you have NEVER read another book in your life AND were unaware that ANY other "erotica" exists. I mean, I'd guess that NOra Roberts can write sexier stories than E.L James.

That the book was a bestselling novel is uncontested; that it should be regarded as literature, that's beyond a stretch.

It's not perverse at all. Maybe to a 14 year old virgin or a suburban housewife who got married to the first guy she ever slept with and the most exciting sex she`s ever had was when they did it on the kitchen floor. Christian Grey doesn`t even give her a good swat on the a$$ until the very end of the book. The girl, Anastasia, has an earth-shattering orgasm every other page, including the very first time she has sex. Unless I`m the most unlucky woman on earth, every woman knows this doesn`t happen in real life. I read it on vacation and repeatedly rolled my eyes nearly out of their sockets. It lives up to the fact that it is Twihard fan fiction because only a tween would find it titillating. I feel bad for the adult women who think it`s scandalous because it means they have really boring sex lives.
