it's light reading. I'm about 70% through the first book and it's not as hard core as I thought it was going to be. Quite honestly I'm finding a lot of it funny. For some reason the emails between the two of them make me laugh. Also Ana's private thoughts and her inner goddess and her sub conscience make me laugh.
