After reading all of the hullabaloo on the blogosphere about the Fifty Shades trilogy, I caved and bought the series on my kindle. One week later, and all three books are finished.
If your boyfriend/husband/partner/whatever is smart, he will buy you the books for Mother's Day because, after all, it's the present that keeps on giving ... if you catch my drift. R is disappointed that I read through them so quickly - ha!
These books will not win any awards for literary prowess, but they do hold your attention and keep you reading for more. Book one was the most shocking, book two my favorite, and book three had a nice, albeit sappy ending.
If you found certain (ahem) scenes in Like Water for Elephants too risqué, then these are not the books for you. It's definitely a "I would be embarrassed to have a stranger look over my shoulder and see what I was reading" type of book.
It doesn't qualify for my favorite book list, but it is highly entertaining and I'll let you see for yourself just what all the fuss is about. :)
