norma_cenva's review against another edition
1.0
No, just no. After tediously going through all of the three books as a dare with a friend on a premises of who will through up first, I honestly had hoped that was the end of it. But no, this shit just needed to be up there published some how; I wont read it and can't fathom how some one really would even attempt to buy it, but alas, our world is a crazy place.
The whole FSOG trilogy was a huge insult to the BDSM community and an awful picture of a glorified abusive relationship, and yes, the inner Goddess thingie, some friends of mine who are practising Pagans actually had a hard time stomaching that kind of abuse of a different flavour, but that's completely other story all together...
Please do yourself a favour, save your money and your sanity and pass this franchise all together, believe me you wont loose anything!

Mrs. James:
I declare this truth to be self evident:
That your writing, your grasp of storytelling, your knacky phrasing and superb characterization and above all, your breathtaking underlying themes, make the writing and publishing of this book a simple necessity. Clearly it had to be done. Greatness such as your sublime trilogy Fifty Shades of Grey, a work equaled in truth and beauty only by such hallowed works as The Gettysburg Address and Nabokov's Lolita, cannot be left alone. It must thrive. It must be shared. Your wealth of knowledge on the subject of writing clearly must be spread to the people. The allowing of such arts, such talent, to pass untaught would be crime against humanity. I applaud you, Ms. James, for your modesty in publishing only ONE book, in fact, rather than the dozens that can clearly spawn from it in explanation of its philosophy and sheer fantabulousness.
