Is there anyone out there who actually *likes* Fifty Shades of Grey, or are most of the people reading it just doing it for the bile fascination? Seriously. Because I haven't actually met a single person online who isn't just reading it out of trainwreck curiosity and/or to make fun of it. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places.
Then again, considering that it's basically Twilight fic with the serial numbers filed off, maybe that's to be expected. Given that the Twilight hatedom seems to be as large as the actual fandom, and people openly admitted to reading the books because they hated them. By the time the last book came out, the people who actually seemed most excited about it were the hatedom because they wanted to see just HOW bad it would get.
So... again, yeah, maybe we just look in the wrong places, but is there actually anyone who genuinely likes this book and isn't just buying it, at best, to laugh over?
