50 Shades of Shite.
Okay, last one before bed. (Hello LJ, it is nice to use you again.)
THIS is why 50 Shades of Grey is a pile of dangerously badly written shite. Seriously, the amount of misinformation here that is now OUT THERE, being read by people with no previous exposure to how things are done is...is....well thank you to the lady who has reviewed it, because somebody had to. I'm just glad it wasn't me. I in no way pretend to be an expert in the world of BDSM, because it's not my thing, but I know people who are experts, and those people are honest and true and loving.
This author has portrayed everything is such a way as to make it seem that the books and their subject matter is made up solely of the people that you would run screaming from if they appear on FetLife. Or your corner shop, to be frank. The people you warn newbies about. You know, the ones you warn people to steer clear of.
This is the last review she did, and it takes you to the end of the first book.

Crikey. These books should have a warning on the cover. I just don't know what it should say yet. Possibly "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME WITHOUT A RESPONSIBLE ADULT, PLASTERS AND A HOTLINE TO 999."
It's not just the whole BDSM scene total misrepresentation. As others far more learned than I have pointed out, it's also the fact that it contains the hugely wrong idea that Abuse of Women is Cool Because They Like It Really. That's NOT GOOD, and just how many women will have the idea reinforced now that "He only hits me because he loves me."
"Out of five stars, I would give this book negative ten. My recommendation is: DO NOT read this book. If you come across this book by accident, throw it into a fire. If someone tries to give you this book, beat them over the head with it until your arms get tired, and then throw it into a fire. If you see someone else burning this book in a fire, go get some kindling and make a bigger fire. No matter what, do everything in your power to USE FIRE to make this shit not have happened."
