I must say that I am a Twilight fan, and from the very start of Fifty Shades of Grey I was annoyed with the similarities to Twilight. From the descriptive character features that directly mirror Twilight, to the setting in WA, flighty mother, heroine is oblivious of her appeal to men, lead male tries to distance himself from lead female,…I could go on and on. But I could have gotten past that, maybe. The horrible writing is what killed me. I don’t get a true love story here. All I get is annoyance that Ana is so pathetic she would alter what she finds “acceptable” in a relationship for her “Fifty”
I am not into the bondage thing at all, and the only thing going through my mind in any of those scenes is my outrage. She is not a dog, you can’t command her around like that……..but she takes it. So she can deal with the silver sex balls, and the red room of pain, but when things get hot and heavy, all she can think or say is “Oh my” and “this is hot” and can only refer to “down there” Please. I’ve read hotter Grace Livingston Hill books – and those are “vanilla” romance novels if there ever was one.
These books seem to have been written by a horny 12 year old boy, and not an adult woman.
