I am so angry that this is being thrown around as a book. It is awfully written even if you discount the actual content. Why not re release Erica Jong and Simone de Beauvoir as wanky texts for people who never read books as well?
Frankly the sex is better and the writing may actually be enjoyable too.

Well, it might be shite, it might be total bollocks representation of D/s but i wish i had written it (and were sitting there counting the 0's on my bank account)

I don't think it's well written, it lost me a few pages in. Horses for courses though.

I think the real thing that is getting up some peoples noses is that its clear evidence that women like porn as much as the next man.

And no one reads porn for it's literary worth :)

steffnexis Did you know there is a Literotica app now?

I haven't read it, have read bits and bobs on Google and have already decided it seems shit.

Everyone I know is reading it now which has shocked me as those people include my very prudish (or so I thought) SIL and my MIL who told me after she got by the anal fisting bit (something is freaking me out knowing my MIL is reading this...).

KRITIQ · 09/07/2012 21:16

Fifty Sheds of Grey looks pretty good though! :)

LineRunner · 09/07/2012 17:41

Haven't read it, no interest. It sounds shite.

Ah so FS is appearing in second hand shops already. That didnt take long!

lmao

have you read the reviews on amazon... the bad reviews were hilareous and what i could see was that people who dont really read much tended to think it was great... and proper readers hated it... i bought it for 20p in second hand shop where my little one goes to playgroup as i had heard it was good and thought it was about vampires etc lol. my other half read half a page for me and i was quite disgusted by the he said she said writting as i felt the actual skill in writting the book was very poor and it sounded very much like it was written by a high school kid... i have flicked through the book on the loo and i have to admit i was iggling to myself with the rediculous storyline... (i read literotica) there is a lovely site online called literotica.com and it has very good storied with some sex in or some with lots etc so you can pick and choose... and some of the authors in that are absolutely fantastic... and it makes my blood boil that those authors arent known but this drivel is being read by millions lol.

i am probably making myself so hated by people who love the book and i am not dissing what you like but as someoen who can easily read a book a day i felt this was very poor... so thedorakis i am in full agreement lol
