(CNN) - You may not have read it, but chances are good that you've at least heard of the book, Fifty Shades of Grey. The steamy novel has become wildly popular with many women, and currently tops the Amazon.com Best Seller List, but not everyone's a fan of the book, which some consider soft core pornography.
Racy sex scenes have gotten the book yanked from some library shelves. "I think that's a shame because that's why we live here. You know, freedom of speech and there's nothing horrible about this book," says a Florida resident. "I'm intrigued and ready to read it with my husband," according to another Florida resident. But others who've read the provocative novel, E.L. James' 50 Shades of Grey, disagree. One reader was asked, "What did you think of it?" She replied, "Don't ask."
Because of reviews like that, Brevard County libraries pulled the first of the popular trilogy saying it doesn't meet their selection criteria. A spokesman for the county says reviews considered the book to be pornographic in nature and they don't collect porn.
"We deserve to have access to these books whether other people like them or not," says Patricia McCarron, Library Patron. "It's a little saucy and most of us moms that have kids in school don't have a real life like that," says Doreen Sley. Doreen Sley is fan of the book which is topping best seller lists across the country. "I have all three books on my book shelf hidden behind other books. I would recommend it, but a lot of friends would not read it."
The book is more than a romance novel with graphic descriptions of sado-masochism. Sley admits while she's a fan she wouldn't recommend the book to her daughter, or even her mother. "Oh no, she would be mortified if she knew I was reading it."
Brevard isn't the only Florida county that isn't stocking the "Grey" novels. You won't find it on Orange County library shelves, either.
