Twilight series was pretty good, IMO, but I am a paranormal literature fan. 50 Shades of Gray was a bit of a disappointment, especially with it being touted as "mommy p0rn" I say it had some performance issues...I haven't read the two remaining yet. Supposedly, the author wrote ONE book...that was 1800 pages long. The publisher decided to break it into 3.

OK, this should be called "50 shades of the most awful writing ever." I'm serious. Maybe some of y'all like it. But I'm so sick of hearing about it-- and I was really hoping I'd like it.

Besides the fact that if the guy touches the girl, she has an orgasm-- I mean, he can apparently touch her shoulder and that happens-- there is so much bad writing in that book, I couldn't make myself keep reading it. This guy they describe? He sounds like a cheerleading squad got together, dreamed up their version of the perfect guy and then took turns writing descriptors of him for a book. Totally unbelievable. The main character says "Jeez" and "oh crap" at least 50 times apiece. At least. She and the guy gasp at each other so many times it made ME gasp. Half of the descriptors are the phrase "so freaking hot" (I'm serious; I read that phrase at least a dozen times just in an hour) and "chews her lip." she chewed her lip so much there should be a hole in it and I swear I counted at least three dozen "blush" or "flush"es in a hundred pages.

The sex is vanilla; it's horribly repetitive; and it REALLY bothered me that someone who's supposed to be writing bestsellers made an American college student who "picked a smart rucksack to go on holiday" and used words like "pram" to describe a baby carriage and talked about "ringing" someone instead of calling them. So obvious the writer is British.

So basically it boiled down to "Christian Grey is so freaking hot. He touches Ana. She has gasps. She flushes. He flushes. He gasps. She has a mind-blowing orgasm. He touches her again. They gasp in unison. She bites her lip. He is so freaking gorgeous. She has an orgasm. He gasps. She chews her lip." Over. And over. And over.

Seriously?!!

ok ok I have not heard the word on this shades of vanilla crap but thanks to you I will not download it onto the kindle for any reason!

BUT - if you're looking for a great read, try "The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein. I heard about it from Lightning - and it is FABULOUS!!! I read the whole thing on a flight from Florida to Seattle. I laughed out loud, and cried my eyes out - the lady next to me thought I was crazy... It's about an aspiring racecar driver, told from his dog's point of view.

I read "The Art of Racing in the Rain" - it IS a great read. Enzo is a deep thinking pup, eh?

Show time today but there is going to be rain both days of this important car show (Music Cith Chevy Show). That's okay, we will make it work. Then it is off to Vegas for me. I will try to check in a bit bit it will be scarce. Keep 'em in line ladies!

Good luck in the rain today Ruby! Hope it doesn't rain on you, but last fall I went to a show and it rained all day on us! We had a ball though, bunch of us just sat and chatted and joked about how many micro fiber cloths it takes to keep dry. At least I took first place, made it all worth it. Have fun!

Heaven_is_inferno_orange · 07-13-2012, 08:46 AM

I liked Twilight. Mostly for Jacob though. Not a fan of Bella or sparkly Edward. 50 shades of grey didn't even look interesting to me and after reading that review it's pretty set in stone that I will continue to avoid it. O.o' Aside from star wars books and naruto manga my favorite series of all time is A Song of Ice and Fire. Long set of books but well worth it.

Ruby- hope everyone has fun at the show this weekend.

Can't wait to see all the pictures. Wish we could make it down. :( Hope Black Beauty does well in the 1000 point.

Tessa · 07-13-2012, 08:49 AM

I got a copy of 50 shades for free so lucky I didn't waste any money. I was intrigued - but I agree - TERRIBLE writing.
I never did get to any of the "juicy" parts

I was too distracted by the terrible writing and Sarah has is down perfect - it's like a tween wrote it.
I tired to get passed that and pay attention to the, um, "theme"? but it's difficult.
And yes - the virginal girl who gets off everytime he touches her and has the most amazing first time ever is total

. Who the hell ever had a mind blowing first? PLEZZZZZZZE!

BUY ANYWHOOOOOO

Friday the 13th and Mr Adorable here is having a Birthday - give cutie pie some

ladies.
