I haven't read it but I've heard about it.  I actually watched a rerun of a fairly recent episode of 20/20 last night that was talking about it and interviewing the author.  I'm interested in reading it at some point.

I know the general plot but I'm interested in seeing the ending.  It seems like in the few stories with somewhat similar plots that I've read, the woman ends up getting hurt or being dissatisfied or something with her submissive role.  Or she ends up doing things she doesn't really want to do, or something doesn't work out well.  I'd be interested to see a book in which a D/s or BDSM relationship works out well and is a healthy relationship.

What did you think of the book?

I just purchaed it today. The first one, as there are three. I have watched a few interviews and my interest it peaked. No one I know personally has read it or admitted to reading it anyways...I thought I would reach out to my OH people for discussion.

I have watched some interesting reviews on the books and most recently read an article about a library removing it from their reading options due to the "*****graphic" nature of the content.

I just received the first book today also. I plan on reading it this weekend. For some reason I get the feeling that it's not going to live up to the hype for me though.

I am sure the hype is out of proportion as well...I am sure I would have stumbled on these books w/o all the media endorsement or bashing, either way, I hope it is a good read for you, and for me :)
