What's all the fuss about "50 Shades of Grey"? [View all]

I'm about 1/3 way in.

Pretty boring so far. One-dimensional characters. Ho-hum sex scenes. Zero research (a conversation between a pilot and ATC is complete nonsense). No dom would put up with her recalcitrance even from the start. He's got a room full of toys and a domineering mother? How utterly Freudian.
