I work with families and it disturbs me when young moms talk about how they can't wait to see the movie and how good the book was. I couldn't even finish the first book because what I read was a typical power and control relationship. When I tell this to people they say...."oh but if you read the other books you see she changes him in the end". This just perpetuates the myth of....I will stay because I can change him. It is quite alarming.

I'm glad these women have written this book. They are offering a free copy of their book called "Pulling Back the Shades" to anyone who mails in a copy of their 50 Shades book.

I agree with every word and have refused even to read the book, let alone see the film. <br /><br />I was delighted to see yesterday that the film had barely managed to score 4/10 on the the well-respected Internet Movie Database and has garnered quite the worst reviews I've read on there. Sadly that hasn't stopped it breaking box-office records, which I find very depressing.Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972390874182782404.post-19775206249571308402015-02-19T10:41:56.789+00:002015-02-19T10:41:56.789+00:00Loving that cartoonLoving that cartoonauntiegwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03605486752049211743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972390874182782404.post-3419615168967037312015-02-18T03:24:53.936+00:002015-02-18T03:24:53.936+00:00Quite agree with your fury...hos is it possible th...Quite agree with your fury...hos is it possible that our society has become so degraded that this rubbish is made into a film?

I didn't buy the book, read it (I read the reviews, that was enough...!) and I certainly wouldn't watch the movie. <br /><br />It has unfortunately tapped into a very depressing fantasy world that would have been best left in people's heads.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13195684182481935384noreply@blogger.com
