There's lot of opinions on Eden surrounding the triology. Some contributors loved them, others hated them. I personally hated them. The books had to be some of the worst written "literature" I've ever seen. I've proofread better written work done by elementary school kids...seriously. It's like her editor fell asleep on the job. But, terrible english and obvious mistakes aside, the story itself was terrible. EL James has no concept of the Pacific Northwest, other than what she obviously read in Twilight. The storyline is so predictable. Christian is an abusive psychopath. The sex is boring and repetitive. And oh my god, if I read the words "inner goddess" or "bit my lip" one more time I'll scream.

And of course, the BDSM she portrays is so far from accurate. But I'm not an expert on the BDSM lifestyle so I won't even go into that.
