Fifty Shades of Awful...a book review

[aleksiina_26]

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

Hey, I just started reading some of your fanfictions and as I was going through your livejournal saw this and knew I had to read it.

Thank you so much for seeing what a joke this book was, like me. So many people around me have been saying just how "wonderful" this writer is and how it talked in depth of the BDSM life. I only read the first two pages online and knew it was going to be a (sorry for the lack of a better description) piece of crap.
I could tell that the writer was a fan of the Twilight series because all the similarities there are, and none of them are close to being good pieces of literature.

I have only ever heard of another book that speaks of BDSM but it is called Story of O, don't know if it's good or not. I'll check out the ones you mentioned though.

Hey there! Welcome to my world

Yeah I'll friend you, usually I don't use my journal for anything except joining communities but I'm trying to challenge myself and see if I can write at least once a week, something, anything, really.

I love when people get out their frustrations in writing, it's the best most effective way of doing it!

What can be said about our society it's going to sh*t really, there's no better way of putting it. At the moment I'm actually reading a book called Sarah because I was very curious especially with everything that happened regarding the supposed author J.T. Leroy. It's an interesting subject even if it did turn out to be pure fiction, that makes it in a way to me even more interesting because of its originality.

I've seen previews for Sleeping Beauty the movie based on the book by Anne Rice, it looks very good, I'll have to add it to my summer reading list!

Wheww sorry for the late reply, I spent my weekend pretty much drunk out of my mind -___- (refer to my latest entry for crispy details XD). I friended you back dear ;)

Writing is like therapy for me to be honest. I write a lot on here, just to get things off my chest, stuff I can't just go and talk about to anybody. Even if its just little drabbles I think its worth posting really :D I'll gladly read what you have to say ;)

I know what you mean about society -___- Sometimes I wonder where the fuck we're going with all this...I've read quite a bit about JT Leroy and the whole literary controversy but haven't read the books, you should definitely write a review when you finish it ;)

Whaaaat? They are making a movie based on the book? Fuck, its probably gonna get an X rating because that book is pretty much hardcore porn from cover to cover...

lol Glad to be of service XD I knew I was making a sacrifice to science when I read that piece of crap XD You can either laugh or cry about it for different reasons, but what is sure is that it sucks and no-one should spend money on it XD

Please do give the suggestions a try, especially if you're curious about basic bdsm, they're good intros to the lifestyle :D Thanks for reading and glad to be helping as always xoxo

I think the trilogy is called Kushiel's Legacy but the books go in this order: Kushiel's Dart, Kushiel's Chosen and the last is Kushiel's Avatar. There's a second trilogy but I really didn't like it as much so I'm recommending the first only ;) Its definitely worth tracking down, I re-read it once a year since 2005 ;)
