50 Shades of Grey [View all]

Borrowed it from the online library after everyone ooh'ed and aww'ed it on facebook. I still haven't made it past chapter 2 and I only have two more days left on checkout.

Darn it but this book is just boring,poorly written, and overall dumb.

If anyone actually finished it and liked it, let me know. I'd love to know if it ever got better.
