SunnyDays Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 That was hilarious. I haven't read the books, nor do I plan to, even to see the hype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Hilarious! I overheard a conversation between 2 stylists at a salon this week: Stylist 1: "You haven't read it? I can't believe you haven't read it!" (I IMMEDIATELY knew what she was talking about) Stylist 2: (speaks too softly for me to hear) Stylist 1: "Well, all of your clients have read it!" Stylist 2: (again, mumbles...I really wish I could have heard her side of it) Stylist 1: "You owe it to yourself to read it!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathryn Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I posted this the other day to the thread about the book. I, too, have no interest in the books, but the reviews were hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mama_Rana Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Thanks for posting this. I haven't read it [and aren't there sequels?]. But I was surprised and a bit disappointed to see that my sister gave it 5 stars on GoodReads, but only gave "Code Name Verity" 4. O.o *sigh* She really is quite an intelligent person. I dunno.

kewb Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Hifreakinglarious. I have not read the books nor did I have any interest. This solidified it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heliconian Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I have not and will not read these books, and this review just confirms my prejudgement. I don't need to read a more explicit version of the wildly unhealthy/abusive relationship between Bella and Edward. The misogyny of the Twilight series that was the direct template for these books was enough for me. Reading novels that started out as erotic fanfiction for a series about how to love an emotionally abusive relationship is not really my cup of tea. I will save this link and send it to everyone who recommends the series to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrincessMommy Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Couldn't read it. All the jumpy images were giving me a headache. and There's a tampon scene? :ack2: :iagree: I tried to read the review because I'd heard so many negative things about this book. I don't plan to read "50 Shades..." it's not my kind of book even if it were well written. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Even though it's not my style of book, I downloaded the sample to see what all the fuss is about. The writing is so incredibly bad I couldn't even finish the sample. I have to keep my mouth shut because I have several IRL friends who love it, have read the whole series, and would be insulted if I said what I really think. That said, I did sign a petition at my local library to have it put back on the shelves. They bought the books, then pulled them. If they chose not to buy them that's one thing, but to buy them and pull them was wrong IMO. Yes, my county is the one that made international news over this.
