1. I read two paragraphs online. Thought it was fan fiction.

When told it was a best-seller was mortified.

10. It is fan fiction

50 Shades was originally Twilight fan fiction. It is horribly written fan fiction of a horribly written series.

2. I haven't read it.

I heard it was very poorly written. I may snag a copy from the library to see what all the fuss is about.

It's bad.

4. I'll stick to "Lady Chatterley's Lover" and "Fanny Hill" for good reading.

5. Now if Gilbert Gottfried's audio book goes to sale--I'll run over people to get in line.....

If you haven't seen the promo..it's a must see...HA HA HA LOL!!

And no I haven't read it--but I work with quite a few who have

Oh, if only it were for real....

6. Disliked, but did not find it boring.

I found it anti-woman, badly-written, and juvenile.

The fact that the POV character takes ZERO responsibility for anything that happens to her in this novel is quite distasteful to me. Throughout the novel, she is simply acted upon. She makes no decisions of her own, except by default (I'm thinking of the contract that she never got around to signing).

I don't roll that way. The responsibility for my sexual experience lies with me. My partner and I are...you know...partners.

15. eeew,

sounds like the books of 70's and 80's. weak women characters is about the only book i will not finish reading. too many good female characters now a days.

7. Much more entertaining when read by Gilbert Gottfried!

16. saw it. have you seen Ellen Degeneres. it is a hoot. nt

8. How she could've made B&D that boring is beyond me.

The heroine is shallow and babyfied, the hero irritating and if she bit her lip or rolled her eyes one more time I'd have smacked her myself. And the sex was dull! And the author's desire to be PC made (I kid you not) contract negotiations fucking ENDLESS. If he'd torn the wrapper off of one more condom I'd have slit my wrists. I decline numbers 2 and 3.

17. if she bit her lip or rolled her eyes one more time

i heard. lol. i had one author on review. i said a wink here and there is cool. a wink every damn page.... not so cool. they find something they like and go with it.

9. rats! missed it by THAT much!

[seabeyond]

18. ha ha. i see what you did. lol. nt

11. It was so poorly written I couldn't get through the first book.

I guess you gotta be a masochist to be able to bear writing that bad?

[Warren DeMontague]

12. I hear the writing is atrocious, but anything that upsets sexphobes and puritans, I'm in favor of.

So two thumbs up. Flying off the shelves at Costco, I'll tell you what.

13. Fifty Shades has sold more books

Than To Kill a Mockingbird.

[seabeyond]

19. sad, huh? lol. nt

[tavernier]

20. Fifty Shades of Crap

Horrible.

[aikoaiko]

21. The BDSM-lite acts are titillating those who never considered it before.

FWIW
