Slartibartfast Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 wh*ps. I haven't read the books what is that???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) Watch Gilbert Gottfried on Youtube read it. It was a hoot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5K1RcKJVbHA Ack! Are those quotes in the book!?!??! I don't want to read anything involving fis**** or a book with the word fis**** in it. I think I will pass. :lol: Edited June 27, 2012 by Sis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Kate Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Ack! Are those quotes in the book!?!??! I don't want to read anything involving fis**** I think I will pass. :lol: Yup...what he is reading is directly from the book. Crazy, huh??? I read all three books and then I spent days trying to get those images out of my head. But what can I say...I did continue reading them (although I didn't really enjoy the plot and I thought the writing was horrific). All of the SNL and other parodies are hilarious though. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I know I could google, but you guys are more fun. What's the deal on the author? Is she British and shouldn't try to write a normal American conversation? Or is she just socially inept? And the Gilbert G. link!!?!? :lol::lol::lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacia Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 The Ellen & Gilbert Gottfried videos... :smilielol5: I haven't read the books, but I'm thinking I don't want to because I find the spoofs so amusing! I'm afraid reading the real thing would ruin the spoof effect. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacia Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I haven't read the books what is that???? I'll buy a vowel, please. "I" (I'm guessing...???) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I'll buy a vowel, please. "I" (I'm guessing...???) I realized that after I posted. :lol: I am really not a prude, I like an occasional trashy novel as much as any girl but why is this one so popular?

BarbecueMom Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Ok, I'm confused. Why would one pay to read poorly written fanfic when there is plenty of good smut, er, stuff out there for free? Is it just a "jump on the bandwagon" thing at this point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolphin Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 I think after the SNL one my favorite is the Selena Gomez one:D I love all the parodies! and yes, the missing vowel was an "i" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 BC? Nope! Vancouver Washington. I never even realized there was a University Branch in Vancouver until I read the book, and I only live half an hour away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Kate Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Ok, I'm confused. Why would one pay to read poorly written fanfic when there is plenty of good smut, er, stuff out there for free? Is it just a "jump on the bandwagon" thing at this point? That's what I've been trying to figure out. Everyone on FB keeps talking about it. It was actually my BFF who brought it to my attention - she said I HAD to read it. I borrowed the books from her and just couldn't believe them. And I am no prude at all...nor am I a book snob. I like all types of books. But even I could tell how poorly-written these books are. I just can't figure out why they are so popular? :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathryn Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Resurrecting an old thread because I thought this was too funny not to share but don't want to start a thread about it since I have no interest in reading these books. Someone posted these reviews of them on FB and they are hilarious: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/340987215 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone posted these reviews of them on FB and they are hilarious: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/340987215 I posted this on my fb page a few days ago as well. I have not read the book because I guessed it would be idiotic (to the point of making me angry) and the critic affirmed my suspicions. The last time I read a book that was all the rage among women it was Twilight. Never again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 The last time I read a book that was all the rage among women it was Twilight. Never again. :iagree: I loathe Twilight :ack2:. Read the first book and the half of the 2nd. The main reason I have no interest in 50 Shades is not so much the subject matter, but the fact that it's apparently really badly written. I've become very cautious about fads and so forth. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hthnmamax2 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I read the synopsis of the book and decided I wasn't interested but, it has given Barnes and Noble a reason to recommend some rather odd books. One even came with a warning about "unconventional use of office equipment." :blink::lol::lol::lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some Jackie Collins books are sitting on my wish list and I'm undecided. They're absolute smut, but oh, ever so much fun. :tongue_smilie: Decisions, decisions ...

Mimm Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I posted this on my fb page a few days ago as well. I have not read the book because I guessed it would be idiotic (to the point of making me angry) and the critic affirmed my suspicions. The last time I read a book that was all the rage among women it was Twilight. Never again. This happened to me. I read the first book (and will NOT be reading the rest) and I couldn't stand it. By the end of the book, I hated the female lead (Ana) so much, I wished Christian would accidentally choke her to death. It's been a long time since I hated a character in a book that much. I didn't care either way about the male lead (Christian). He was a fairly typical romance novel guy with a sadistic twist. He's ridiculously good looking, fabulously wealthy and good at everything (plays piano, is athletic, etc). He showers Ana with gifts (which she whines about), makes her feel things that require pages of flowery description (which she whines about) and falls in love with her (which she can't see because she's too modest *gag*). In short, he's so unrealistic that I couldn't possibly relate to him. And if I had to read about this woman's inner goddess any longer, I was going to tear up the book page at a time and it wasn't my book. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
