My wife read the whole series. I dunno what the hell is in that thing.. But God bless that book.

The book itself is terrible, as will be the movie which spawns from it. Bad writing, unlikable characters in my opinion, and the lead guy is an abusive douche, which is saying something for a BDSM relationship. As for the more- intimate- ideas the books display, those are good. There's a reason that the BDSM community is a large one in terms of sexual taboos. I guess it's a good thing the book became popular, as it gives a more desired light on the taboo; but the writing of the story itself I cannot stand, and when taken in a serious standpoint, it's glorifying what is easily seen as abuse [b]even for[/b] BDSM, which most certainly is not when threaded carefully.

I've heard that the writing might not be so good and that it doesn't exactly portray a "healthy relationship." Maybe most readers solely use the books as pornography, and don't care much about the other details. I can't make any conclusions myself though, because I haven't read it and I've only personally talked to one person who's read the books.

That's a good way to put it actually. Goes pretty in hand with a lot of mainstream pornography now a days. A lot of it can be abusive and downright messed up, but yeah, people just use it for porn.
