I completely agree – I have found most ppl who are raving negative rants haven’t read the first book, let alone all three of them. Or if they read the first book that is where they stopped and didn’t go on to see the story come full circle.

I found myself apart of a threaded rant the other day that a Mormon friend of mine included me in. And of course about 16 ppl were spreading their disdain and unbelief of how society was so accepting of the degrading sexual exploitation of women. Upon asking how many had read the first book, only 2 could say they read a portion of the book, but stopped after the first episode of Anastasia entering the Red Room. The others were basing their opinions on here say of their peers.

After politely explaining just exactly how their rants were so completely unfounded. I then proceeded with a brief but detailed account of what the story was actually about and after doing so I then concluded with the following question:

If you sat down in a room of people discussing the astrophysics of black holes in space, would you be able to interject a correct explanation of how they work? I’m assuming you all would just sit back and listen all the while not offering any opinions about the subject matter. Why? Because you don’t know enough about it to comment. Same thing goes for 50 Shades of Grey. You don’t know enough about it to comment, so until you do, please refrain from sharing your opinion.

After all, I’m sure if you would read not just the first book but all three, you will more than likely find enjoyment, pleasure and the inability to put the book down.

I received 3 responses, 2 apologizing and calling for a truce. The 3rd, a woman admitting to reading all 3 books and loving them!!
