    Sean Bean would be an interesting choice.

    How explicit actually is this book?
    Well here's an extract I quickly found - it sort of made me laugh

    “I pull him deeper into my mouth so I can feel him at the back of my throat and then to the front again. My tongue swirls around the end. He’s my very own Christian Grey-flavored popsicle. I suck harder and harder … Hmm … My inner goddess is doing the merengue with some salsa moves.”

    I would have been embarrassed to have written that at 13, nevermind as a grown-ass woman ...

    I'm pretty sure at one point Ana describes Christians oral skills as something "a mother hamster would do to kill its three legged young" (not direct quote- I want to forget I ever read that monstrosity of a book)

    Until it get's to the bizarre "inner goddess" stuff, i could imagine Jay from the Inbetweeners saying some of the lines if the roles were reversed.

    Lol I'd forgotten that part, I think the language starts out pretty erotic then calms down a bit (!). I've been reading it a bit at a time over a few weeks, the thing that bothers me is the sheer quantity of times she says "Holy *enter swear word here*" and "oh my!", the author needs to buy a thesaurus..

    Actually, that would be hilarious to see in a movie. They could make the 'inner goddess' a real person and have her dancing in the corner of the room as Ana sucks Christian off.

    The author needs to stop writing.

    There's some pretty obscure imagery and references, amongst lines which sound as if they were written in by a 12 year old.

    No decent actor is going to involve himself with this crap.

    Lol! Well she's making quite a fortune of this trilogy so she probably will retire after this and reside in her new £3M mansion!

    It's not, it's just badly thought out, cliché from start to end, and it started out as a Twilight Fanfic, as if twilight wasn't bad enough. All they did was change the names of the one dimensional characters.

    I'd say a 12 year old is more advanced in their literacy skills. The standard of writing is aged 5 tops, but the content is too disturbing for anyone in some places. My favourite part was when I burnt the book.

    You wouldn't be embarrassed if you made as much money as her though
