  • Colour me 50 Shades of WTF

    Posted by Lokki, 11 months ago

    Okay, so I've totally blown the old promise to start writing reviews again, but I just couldn't keep my mouth shut about Fifty Shades of Grey.....what is the big F'ing deal about these books? Obviously, the hype was started by someone who: A. Never saw the movie Pretty Woman (where Ana was a hooker, and Christian was a much older meglomaniac) and B. Never read erotic fiction before so got all a titter about the sex.

    Don't get me wrong, these books are entertaining.....fluff? Actually the word that really comes to mind is DRIVEL (and I was serious about the Pretty Woman comment. I can't believe that there isn't already news of a lawsuit...). I think Christian seriously needs a slap to the head, only he would probably enjoy it too much. The only reason he gets away with his over the top insecurities and bi(or maybe tri?)-polar tendencies is because he's rich. And don't get me started about Ana! OMG....wake up and smell the weak twinnings tea you idiot. Do you really want to live your life walking on eggshells? Mercurial gets old fast. Just like these books.

    Thanks Rog....I'm still pondering the hoopla about these books. I may be forced to further pontificate in a review. Yes, they are that bad.

    The reviews for this one are all over the place. You know something is wrong when someone tiles their review as 50 Shades of sh$t

    Well hello you two, I miss you both so much and it figures I'd find you here talking about 50 shades of sh!t . I still haven't read this one but assumed the popularity was because (as you said Lokster) all these housewives hadn't read any erotica previously. You do know this started as fan fiction too right? Twilight fanfiction LMAO The author just switched up the names and a few facts and voila an original story for publication. Syephanie Myer should get some kickback from all the sales. I think thats why I haven't read it, I wouldn't be able to get Bella and Edward out of my head. Anyways wish you both the best. I'm still hangin on my Island

    Hi Rohg, I keep forgetting that you're an old retired dude (LOL) with 5 jobs now. How does that happen anyways? How about seen any good movies lately?

    Lokster A couple of good reads this year; On The Island by Tracey Garvis Graves comes to mind - I think its just hitting the best sellers list now English teacher and student are stranded on desert isle after a plane crash, for a few years. My summery is dumb the book is excellent I'll try to post a review for it.

    Oh course Ward's new Angels book is out at the end of this month and I know you're excited about it! I can't even remember what its called LMAO

    I've also been reading historical romances and liking author Pamela Clare. In the M/M department (blame Darian) I've become obsessed with author Amy Lane.

    Summer is still here in BC, i think its 27 today and I am loving that. Hope alls good :)
