[Good] Discussion Questions for Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James


1) If you are attracted to men- Do you find Christian Grey attractive? Why? If you are attracted to women- Can you understand the attraction to Christian Grey? Why?

2) Did you find any of the sex shocking? Would you consider this book "risque"? If you don't mind sharing,  has it changed your view on sex? Improved your sex life?

3)What do you think about making this book into a movie? What will it be rated? Who do you think should star in it?

4) What were the first signs of Christian being "bad news"? Was Kate right in pointing some of these things out and telling her to stay away?

5) Do people really change in relationships?

6) Do you think that by this book being mainstream that the message it's putting out there is that it's okay to have a controlling significant other? Is this giving women who date "bad boys" hope that they can change them? In turn does that say that it's okay to be in an unhealthy relationship?

7) What did you think about the writing? The story? Does the novel deserve all the hype it's getting?

8) Do you think that "Mrs. Robinson" a.k.a Elena was a evil as Ana made her out to be? How did Christian's views of her change in each book?

9) If you dated someone with a billionairre salary, would you have trouble accepting expensive gifts from him/her?

10) What parts of the novel did you find unrealistic? What did you find to be realistic?

11) If you've read the series Twilight, compare and contrast the two. See my post "Fifty Shades of Grey vs. Twilight..."

12) Supposedly E.L James is writing a fourth novel. How do you feel about that?

13) What do you think attributes to the success of Fifty Shades of Grey?

14) What did you think about Ana & Christian naming their son "Ted"?

15) What would you say is the ultimate theme of this novel? Compromise? A Coming of Age?
