50 shades spoilers requested

I just finished the first book. I will not be reading the others because I found the writing quality poor and redundant, but am interested in knowing how the characters are resolved. Anyone care to lay out the rest of the trilogy for me? TIA!

Re: 50 shades spoilers requested

  • I read this back when it was fanfiction.  Good call on not wasting your time.  The below are reviews of the books.  I think she gives an accurate depiction of the books and they're pretty funny too.  A lot of gifs.

  • I just finished the first book as well so I can't give you any spoilers..but I agree completely with you that the writing is very redundant. I think the author needed to find a thesaurus!

    Ridiculous and more ridiculous. I am so glad I didn't bother finishing the trilogy.

    Haha I completely agree with it being ridiculous. I couldn't stop reading after the first book even though it was horribly repetitive.

    I believe you might have this mixed up. I am now at the beginning of book 3 and they are married but there has been no kidnapping attempt yet. Not that it really matters. Just saying.
