“Fifty Shades of Grey” author E L James appeared on “The View” on Friday to chat about her erotic trilogy and its impact in bedrooms around the world.

The writer talked about the books’ origins in her Twilight Saga fandom, how she learned about kinky sex, the trilogy’s banning in certain libraries, and whether there will be future installments in the series.

We also learned, repeatedly, that “Fifty Shades” has gotten Sherri Shepherd “hot and bothered.”

Oh, and Bob Saget was there!

    Honestly these books are AMAZING. I could not put them down. Everyone who says they are just “mommy porn” are so wrong. There is a great storyline with amazingly developed characters. You just have to read the books.

  • Peaceoutalyssa

    E.L James is just weird she acts like if her books are the best thing ever!!

  • Trollersgonnatroll

  • Liz

    On the contrary, she seemed very humble in the video.

    I’m sorry but I just started reading this book the other day… and it is the worst-written book I’ve read since I can remember (and I read a LOT of books). I typically don’t read romance type books… I favor authors like Craig Clevenger and Chuck Pahalniuk, among many others. But the hype about this book drew me to purchase it. I’m on page 180 or so and I seriously can barely refrain from rolling my eyes.

    Ana is 21… she’s never had sex. Okay, I didn’t until I was almost 20. I get that. Never kissed someone? Umm… wtf. For the REAL wtf part… Christian asks her to “pleasure herself” and she thinks to herself, “Huh? What is he talking about?” …yet she describes her orgasms in detail, and knows that what she’s having is CALLED an orgasm. Even if you don’t masturbate, to say at 21 (and being intelligent, as her character is portrayed) you couldn’t figure out the term “pleasuring yourself” is just laughable.

    Also, it’s ludicrous how often she repeats herself over and over again in her head. “Holy shit.” “Holy crap.” “Calm down, Steele.” “Don’t blush, don’t blush.” “Stop looking down, keep calm.” Her character is PATHETIC! I do believe I’ll finish it because it’s such an easy read, and that way I can criticize it (since I hate it when people criticize anything – from books to foods – that they’ve never experienced). I certainly don’t think I’ll be buying the second or third book.

    Thanks for your viewpoint. I was also going to read them to see what the hype was all about. I think that I will now save my money. I too usually read quality books and not romances, but hey to each his own. Want a good book. I’m in the middle of The Paris Wife by Paula McClain. It is about the first wife of Ernest Hemingway and is quite good. It has been on the NY Times Best Seller List and was recommended to me by a friend. Again, thanks for your honest observation. To others, I’m not putting you down, read what interests you, Like I said to each his own.

    She says that while she wrote the fan fiction, she got the idea of what would eventually become Fifty Shades. That is a lie. Her fan fiction “Master of the Universe” is 89% the same as “Fifty Shades of Grey” according to Turnitin. “Fifty Shades of Grey” IS her fan fiction. http://dearauthor.com/features/industry-news/master-of-the-universe-versus-fifty-shades-by-e-l-james-comparison/

  • Former MoTU fan

    I saw her as embarrassed and actually a bit deceptive. The part where they asked her where she learned about BDSM and she replied the internet. What she failed to say was she read a story called “The Dominate” on Twilight fan fiction and that’s where she got the idea for Fifty Shades or as it was originally known “Master of the Universe”. Before that she was writing a story on twilight fan fiction called “Safe Haven” which wasn’t getting any attention. She started Master of the Universe almost immediately after she left a review for The Dominate and the rest they say is history. Bugs the hell out of me that she won’t give credit to those stories besides Twilight that actually influenced her story. Same go as far as to say she stole the idea but I won’t go that far. The Dominate is much better writing and story telling. Google it.

    Thank you for your honest observation on the book. I haven’t read the book myself I have only heard what is being reported in the media or on the internet. But, a lot of people are beginning to say the same thing that they were disappointed in the book after they started reading it. I know they call it mommy porn and I have to say the book never really interest me. I think it may be a book for older women none of my friends are interested in reading it.

  • little lady

    Please do not read the view of others and think that they understand the book. Read it yourself. They are not expensive and make for fantastic reading. No one told me about them, they just came up on my list when I finished reading “The Girld with the Dragon Tattoo”.

  • Aimee Abernathy223

    I was skeptical but I loved the story line and was addicted to the characters. Read all three books in 5 days.

  • Joweeble999

    I loved the first two books of the trilogy and can’t wait to start the third! The only reason I haven’t started it is because I know when I do it will be over much too soon! As in many wonderful things in life, prolonging the ending for as long as possible is soooooooo gratifying ;)
