'Reading a book is like re-writing it for yourself. You bring to a novel, anything you read, all your experience of the world. You bring your history and you read it in your own terms.'- Angela Carter

Fifty Shades Trilogy Bundle: Fifty Shades of Grey; Fifty Shades Darker; Fifty Shades FreedQ: What hyped up book do you think was not worth all the talk?

 Fifty Shades without a doubt. I remember reading an extract on Amazon before everyone went crazy about it and just being completely put off by the awful and, in a sense, immature writing style of it. Admittedly, everyone went nuts so I thought right let's see what this is all about. The first book = awful. The second = better. The third = to be confirmed. It's still sat in a pile!

    That's the third vote for fifty shades I've come across and I haven't even clicked many FF links yet :-) No intention of reading the series, but my friends are still trying to get me to pick it up.

    I haven't read 50 Shades, but I've heard more than enough about it from my wife to stay far away. She's persevered to the third book, but only because she's curious how it all ends. She's actually quite bored with it. LOL

    Thanks for stopping by my blog! I haven't read Fifty Shades yet but it seems that everyone and their sister has. I still plan on eventually reading them just so I can give a honest opinion about them!

    50 shades, I read the entire trilogy. It was ok. I kinda liked it! I can admit it..lolz..
    It got a bit corny and repetitive by book 3. A cheezy guilty pleasure.

    I only sampled 50 Shades, but I think you nailed it with your 'immature' comment.

    I really hope people hurry up and get over this series. I'm glad they're being recognized this week for their mastery of the over-hype.

    This series certainly seems to be the most popular by far for overhype.
