Book #8 Fifty Shames of Earl Grey - Fanny Merkin aka Andrew Shaffer
Fifty Shames of Earl Grey by Andrew Shaffer
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
To be honest I don't have much to say about this book. Initially I was going to read this before the actual Fifty Shades of Grey book but thought against it after concerns that I'd be unable to get all the jokes as I wasn't very familiar with all the characters and specific scenes. Yes I'd heard of it, I just choose to ignore it cause I had other stuff going on and what I heard just seemed like a bunch of hype.
This was not laugh out loud funny to me but it did produce a few smirks and maybe a slight chuckle. Anyway I thought the author did a good job poking fun at all the scenes I found annoying about Fifty Shades of Grey.
For example:
"I have no idea what's going on inside that pretty head of yours..."
"To be honest, I have no idea either," I say, looking down a the table to avoid his powerful gaze. "Most times, my mind is just an ongoing, present-tense, first-person monologue. It's like I'm writing a novel, constantly, but only in my brain. A really bad novel."
If you've dared to read the original then this quote speaks volumes.
