I NOTICED THAT THERE ARE ALMOST AS MANY PEOPLE WHO SEEM TO HATE THE FIFTY SHADES BOOKS AS THERE ARE WHO LOVE THEM. I ALSO NOTICED THAT A LOT OF THE HATERS HAVE ONLY TAKEN AWAY ONE THING FROM THE BOOKS AND THAT IS THE KINKY FUCKERY PARTS EVEN THOUGH THERE IS MORE TO THE BOOKS THAN JUST THE SEX. THAT IS ONLY THE PERCENTAGE WHO HAVE ACTUALLY READ THE BOOKS (AND MOST OF THEM HAVE ONLY READ THE FIRST BOOK. SERIOUSLY, GIVE THE OTHERS A READ BEFORE JUDGING THEM AS A WHOLE). THE OTHER PERCENT WHO HAVE NEVER EVEN PICKED UP THE BOOKS ARE SIMPLY REPEATING WHAT THE OTHER HATERS HAVE SAID.
THE BOOKS ARE NOT PERFECT BY ALL MEANS, BUT THEY ARE ENTERTAINING TO A LOT OF US. WE REALIZE THEY ARE NOT REAL, BUT ISN’T THAT ONE OF THE REASONS FOR READING BOOKS? TO ESCAPE REALITY AND GET LOST IN A WORLD THAT IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM OUR OWN?
I RESPECT THOSE WHO HAVE VALID POINTS FOR NOT LIKING THE BOOKS AND CAN LIST THEM WITHOUT GETTING NASTY TOWARDS THOSE WHO DO ENJOY THE BOOKS. IN FACT, I THINK THOSE WHO DON’T LIKE THE BOOKS SHOULD MAKE A LIST OF THEIR OWN OF SIMILAR BOOKS TO THE FIFTY SHADES TRILOGY THAT THEY THINK WE WOULD LIKE BETTER. ENLIGHTEN THE FANS RATHER THAN PUT THEM DOWN.
I DON’T RESPECT THOSE WHO, NOT ONLY BASH THE BOOKS, BUT THE READERS AS WELL (ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE GIVING YOUR OPINION AND BEING JUDGMENTAL WITHOUT HAVING READ THE BOOKS YOURSELF). OKAY, YOU DON’T LIKE THE BOOKS. NO NEED TO GET NASTY ABOUT IT. WE CAN ALL JUST AGREE TO DISAGREE. EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT TASTES IN THINGS. WHO CARES IF SOMEONE ELSE LIKES SOMETHING YOU DON’T? IS YOUR WORLD GOING TO END BECAUSE SOMEONE IS READING A BOOK THAT IS CONSIDERED A FAUX PAS IN YOUR UNIVERSE? IT’S NOT LIKE WE ARE FORCING YOU TO READ THE BOOKS.
