    The author is doing a book tour starting in my city (where the book is based).

    An article in the newspaper stated that the book was originally intended for Twilight fans...now I *really* have no desire to read it!

    It wasn't intended for Twilight fans it was straight up Twilight fanfiction posted for free on the internet for all to read. I've heard from people who have seen both texts the author just used the find/replace feature to change the names. So if a story of a inexplicably damaged man who could never love (Edward/Christian) falling for a ditzy, spineless, devoid of personality shell of a girl (Bella/Ana) isn't your cup of tea you won't enjoy it.

    Plus it's more poorly written that Twilight and that's saying something. I have to admit I've pitied the people who tell me the sex is "sooooo hot" it tells me a lot about their sex lives.

    so all those mommies reading their 'mommy porn' are really just bored, sheltered housewives?

    ****ty writing, stupid story, and not BDSM. That **** is straight vanilla.

    ^^This. I felt my IQ dropping with each page I read. A little spanking? Bor-ing!!! Teach me something I can use! And what 21-year-old says "crap!" and "double crap!" and "oh my!" that often. SO stupid.

    Although, it did open up my eyes to REAL erotica--at a friend's suggestion (who has a degree in sexology), I'm currently reading "Fanny Hill", "Venus in Furs", and "Fear of Flying".


    Thanks! I'll have to look into these!

    It was, in fact, Twilight fan fiction at its origin.

    It's boring, it's STUPIDLY vanilla sex, and the writing is so bad I questioned whether or not the person who wrote it might not be a little "slow." (sSorry if that's not PC lol...

    Didn't say that. Just said if they think the sex scenes are amazing like nothing they've ever heard it tells me a lot about what they've experienced.

    i'm glad i'm not the only person in the world that didn't care for it. i don't normally read romance, but plodding through this drudge was just too much. that and the ****ty writing. this review was the best part of the book.

    As a full time working mom whose husband is away lot, I like to spend my time reading books that either I can learn from or are very entertaining. And 50 shades was none of that. I went back to reading " Secrets of toddler's life"
