Very good price but not as described

I was super excited about the price and how fast the item came but the third book looks like it came from somewhere else it's discolored and warped and the box for the set is torn, as it was for a friend I am disappointed and trying to figure out what I want to do about the third book at the very least.Read full review...

Loved the books. Got a great deal so they were worth the money.

I don't normal buy books because I only read them once, but I bought the series because my library won't carry it due to the supposed sexual content. I have seen more desriptive content in other books they carry. I may try to get the librarian to read my copy and then donate them to the library.
It is good to read about characters with flaws, and Christian Grey has got quite a few, perfect on the outside but with many dark secrets that lead him to a life of "must have" control. Ana is a complete innocent thrown into the world of strange yet erotic sexual desires. She is confused by her desires and enjoyment of things some not of the "norm" she understands.
The book is a good read even without the sex scenes, which are a bit repetitive. You can tell the author is not into the whole SDSM scene. A little more research on her part might have helped bring those scenes to life with more realism and still kept it from being pornographic.
I would recommend this book to my friends and since they have found out I have the series a few have already asked to read them. LOLRead full review...

A very powerful love story. His deep dark secrets and her very innocents.

WOW!!! First, a friend bought it and loaned it to me, after, it went through several other people. I had no idea what I was getting into when I started reading the first book. I guess the only thing I was told, is that it had a lot of sex! But I sat down and started and couldn't put it down. Not because of the sex, but the story line. Yes the sex is very involved, detailed and does keep the story interesting. But the relationship between Christian and Anastasia is so spell binding to me. How they interact with one another and learn about each other and the depth of feelings that Christian deals with is something that really holds my interest. He has so much compassion and understanding for Anastasia's feelings and teaches her so much. But on the other hand Anastasia, with her innocence and patients and understanding learns so much about Christian, and helps him in ways neither knew she could. The love that develops between these two is so awesome.
After finishing the first book, thank the lord I had the second one, 'Fifty Shades Darker', in hand. It keeps you spell bound, just wanting to know whats going to happen between these two incredible people.
By the time I finished the second book, I had to wait for the third. It drove me crazy. I will admit by the time I was finished with the first book, I had already decided to buy the set. I knew, I'd want to read it again. Its just that good of a story. My set of books arrived 1 day before I finally got the 3rd book, 'Fifty Shades Freed', from my friend. I read the third book and it held my interest just as much as the first.
I think this is the kind of relationship that a lot of us wish we could experiment in our life time. Someone that will cherish you and protect you no matter what. You see this over and over in this series of books. And its all the relationships, with family, friends and every person they interact with.
I have to admit I hated coming to the end of the 3rd book. I wanted the story to go on and on. I wished for a little bit more detail at the end, but it did give closure.
I bought this set of books, because I loved the story from beginning to end and I wanted my own set so I could read it again in my own time. (its been several weeks and I have already started reading again!)
There is nothing I really disliked. It was a learning experience as far as the sex goes. Learned a lot of things I'd never heard of before and found out what a lot of things were, I had only heard about. Very informative!! Heard about a lot of it but you can only imagine.
I just really loved the story and fell in love with the characters.
I have heard that E.L. James is going to be writing a continuation of this series. I can only hope so. I will definitely buy it ASAP!!Read full review...

Not a Great Read for the Money!

When these books came out, women everywhere (okay, almost everywhere) just couldn't get enough of them. I read the first book, looked at my husband and said what is all the exaggerated commotion about. Reality check people ... anybody can write a book (or books) like that. It’s as if half the country had never heard of sex before! I decided not to read part two and part three; at least I know I'm not the only one ... I couldn't give these books away. Literally, no one wanted my free books so they ended up in the trash where they probably should have gone in the first place. Sorry, the author and her writing were just too darn predictable. But, you are making her rich!Read full review...

Excellent reading experience; how-to-book for open-minded adults.

The trilogy was the first selection for my newly formed book club and it was an excellent choice. I loved the trilogy and I have recommended it to many people; without loaning out my precious books. I disliked the lack of real development of some of the characters (Ethan, Mr. & Ms. Grey, & grandparents). These books are some of, if not the best books I have read, and I have read a lot. I had to read all three until the end (hoping for a continuation with book 4, 5, & 6). For a period of 3 weeks my life became work and Fifty Shades trilogy. To truly enjoy the Fifty Shades experience, you must have all books at the same time in order to go to the next book without an unnecessary break of having to get the next book. This trilogy is great for those who are not avid readers, but would love a reading experience that gives you some of everything, including ideas for spicing up your life and new phrases for your vocabulary. These books are for mature, open-minded adults only.Read full review...

Good Read!

The books are very good, very detailed, and engaging. I would definitely recommend reading them! I read all three of them in five days, I could not put them down. They definitely help explain the movies better as well.Read full review...

Fifty shades trilogy as seen by my eyes

The book to me is a true love story. A look at when a man who has everything has to change to keep what he realize she is what he needs

Good

Came in a padded envelope the only reason for 4 stars is that the outer box that held the books was damaged from packing. But none of the books had a problem.
