That Book.....

About a month ago, I asked you if you had read....that book.  It appears, from the comments, that we were all curious about it....so, I downloaded it to my Kindle.....and completely forgot about it! It's a bad habit of mine, I am easily distracted. Well, somewhere around Thursday or Friday, I heard, yet another, talk show mention it. Remembering that I had it, I decided to start reading it...and finally dismiss it once and for all.

Well, by Saturday, I had downloaded the second book onto my Kindle


...and on Sunday, I downloaded the third one


I guess you can say that I am one of the Millions who got completely hooked on the series.

Here is what I thought.....when I started the first book, it wasn't long before I thought "this isn't for me"....but I read on. By the middle of the book, I was thinking " it's 9 1/2 weeks" (remember the movie?). Still, I read on. Closer to the end of the first one, I thought...."I know how this will end".....and it did exactly that. Only, I felt for this young girl and was frustrated with her state of mind.

In the second book, EVERYTHING  changed. I was shocked!  I had to know more. I could not decide what or how to feel about the situation, and by the way these books are extremely graphic with explicit details of adult behavior....if you know what I mean. Definitely rated "X".

And now, the third and final book....I haven't finished it yet, because I want it to last. I know I will wish there was a fourth. Needless to say, I have a ton of laundry to get to because I could not put this series down.

I didn't know it was a series. Your review sounds pretty good though. Crap. Now I'm going to have to read them!

Im totally with ya Linda! I read all three in less than a week, I couldn't put it down. I dont care how much fun Saturday Night Live makes of it - I loved it! It was Twilight 2.0 and better!

Are you sorry there is not a fourth?

I love it when you get so engrossed by a book. I'll have to check it out...or maybe I shouldn't. I have so much to do:(

I'm boycotting the news because it always makes me annoyed, so I haven't heard about this series. IT's been awhile since I read anything I couldn't put down and I miss that experience!

I too am on the third book and reading as slowly as possible to make it last....why can't there be a fourth book waiting?!? I was surprised at first, then completely hooked! The news reports appear to be from those that haven't even read the material...annoying, huh?!? Crafts/projects are actually taking a backseat for now! :)
