Has anyone read the triology yet? Apparently it was written as fanfiction in response to Twilight and because of its popularity, has been picked up by a publishing house. A few changes later and it is a best seller.
I am amazed that the first book is the top of the NYT Best sellers List and as yet, there has been no thread about it! I have read them. Any thoughts? |

My girlfriend insisted I should read these. I started the first book (on Kindle) and I can see why it is popular but I haven't got very far into it. To be honest, the writing is poor and the plot/characters are totally implausible (but maybe that is what fan fiction is?? I don't know, haven't read any before). I've had to stop reading, I just couldn't handle the appalling writing, it set my teeth on edge.

OMG I loved the trilogy. It is very racy and some may find it a little explicit, be aware it is classed as erotica.
The gorgeous damaged hero makes me swoon just thinking about him |

Just finished reading all 3 and to be honest i ended up skimming through the 'kinky' pages as it was quite boring in the end. At first it was a bit shocking

I've read the first one. Very middle of the road I thought, I was expecting more. Not sure I'll bother with the other two.

I downloaded it on Kindle because it was No. 1 .I thought it was sci-fi fantasy for some reason.
I was wrong. Badly written and fairly boring. I won't bother with the others. |

I read it as fanfic, but not as the published version.
I enjoyed it, but I enjoyed it as Edward and Bella if that makes sense? Im not fussed about going to read the published version I read it as fanfic, but not as the published version.

I've only read the first and loved it. Yes, the sex gets boring by the end. I don't really know why I enjoyed it so much. I don't particularly like Christian and it's not particularly well written (though streets ahead of Twilight!). Maybe it was just an easy read that I didn't need to think about too much. I'm really looking forward to reading the other two.
