Fifty Shades of Awful...a book review

Jun 19, 2012 14:24

Just before I begin this, I just want to state that all my opinions here are my own. No one has to agree with me on this, and please, don't take my words as holy scripture, I'm just saying what I think about the following works, but I encourage everyone to make their own opinions, no matter how much I tell you how something sucks. I'm just sharing ( Read more... )

silly me, personal, book review, rant, whining, rambling, stuff that sucks

Ah! So refreshing to read someone's thought-out hatred of this "book", in contrast to all the comments I see on FB about how awesome it is and how ppl can't wait to read the next one ( ... )

Eurgh! I'm more than mildly disgusted to even have finished it >_< And I find the fact that a fuckload of people find this piece of utter crap any good highly worrisome. What the hell are people taking away from this? Its so painfully bad, how can they even appreciate this stuff when anyone with half a brain would just toss it out the window. It baffles me how the average american housewife is so undereducated and illiterate that she would find this kind of stuff remotely good. I'm actually scared for the future of america's cultural heritage and completely mindfucked over this tbh ( ... )

Lol!
Never heard of that story! Now that I have read your review and looked it up I had to laugh so much. In german the book is called "Shades of Grey - Geheimes Verlangen", wich can be translated as "secret desires" or something. It sounds so extremly ridiculous! I would blush in fifty shades of red if I had to buy that in a book store xD

Oh wow, it made it to your country? Run for your life! Its an invasion! Its so horrible, only read it if you're into hardcore mental torture XD I was so happy it was a pdf on my phone (thank god I didnt pay for it) because I would've been embarrassed to carry that around -__- xoxo

It made it here xD and by our media it is compared with sex and the city xDDD

aleksiina_26 June 20 2012, 13:00:44 UTC

WHAT? Sex and the City? Good lord, it's like comparing potatoes to kiwis -___- Sex and the City is a cleverly written series about female sexuality with compelling characters and a smart plot and dialogue, how the fuck does it even relate to 50 shades of crap? Blearghhhh!

I loved this review!
I haven't read the book, I am curious too though, but it does sound like complete shit. And from the quotes from it that I have seen around the internet it looks horrifying. I mean, I know I am far from the best writer but even I know that comparing men's sex faces to mother hamsters about to eat their children is far from arousing xD And yes, you guys should all have publishing deals by now xD

If you're a literary masochist, this book might be for you XD Its really as bad as everyone out there says, I swear...if not worse XD I think that was in the second book because I don't remember reading that (or my brain is desperately trying to erase it XD) and I am not reading the second or third book, eurgh, one was too much already -___- Maybe one day we'll get some glory lol XD

Thanks for dropping by :D xoxo

I didn't read your rant but I saw the title and went "OH GOD THAT HORRIBLE PIECE OF WRITING!" xD Actually can you even call it writing? My eyes burned after reading a excerpt. (>_<) I could of told you to stay away! D:

aleksiina_26 June 20 2012, 01:59:45 UTC

Oh I knew it was bad. I was curious at HOW bad it was, and seriously, its probably one of the worst thing I've ever read, hands down. It certainly doesn't deserve to be called a book imho -_-
I'm definitely staying away from the two other books you can trust me on that XD

Thanks for commenting dear xoxo

i thought that these books were the just horrible and i made it a mission to knock it out as fast as possible. the entire time that i was reading them i kept thinking i have read fanfic better then this, or writer x could of wrote a much hotter sex scene. the "bdsm" sex really just made me think of a couple that went to a sex shop and decided to buy some toys and get freaky for the night.

i agree with you 100% with your review

aleksiina_26 June 20 2012, 12:25:02 UTC

Eurgh you read ALL the books? You brave soul, it took all of my will power to even get through the first one -___- I think a 12 year old's midterm writing assignment is better than this, and I can easily list at least 15 fanfic authors that write better porn, easily. It was horrible to read and I'm happy I didn't pay for it XD

Thanks for giving your input my dear :D xoxo
