50 Shades- A MUST? Or A BUST!?!?

Well I've heard all sorts of "I loved its!" and "It's GREAT!!!" so what more could I do but to read the trilogy of 50 Shades Of Grey for myself.
So I delved into the first book..... Christian Grey is powerful, sexy, secretive. What girl doesn't want a little mystery to her man?! And then there's Ana- naive and innocent. Sounds good thus far... Now supposedly this series was developed from a Twilight fan fiction series (if you're a fan of Twilight your interest may have peaked but hold that thought). It shows no other connections other than the girls both being innocent and naive and the men of the stories both powerful, a bit controlling, and mysterious. 
The first book made me blush, kept me on my toes for the most part, and there were parts I smiled in a I'm in lala-land sense. If you want a book dripping in sex and some story here and there.... like a good ol'/bad fashioned 80's porn movie, well it may be for you.
I must admit I did secretly enjoy the first book but it practically stops there. I did read through the second book but by the third I had lost all interest. There was nothing in the second or third that kept my attention. If you're looking for just sex, ok, fine it definitely has that. But it lost its luster and by the third book I sadly ended up being able to skim it and get the gist of how it all ended there wasn't any grasping story line that pulled the reader in. The way the sex time was written was impeccable, hello I'm awake...  however the story itself was mundane. 
Maybe I'm not a sexy time book kind of gal but I gave it my best shot!
As always read it for yourself!
