It’s Friday, I’m lazy, so I’m just going to leave this here. Taken together, these three book reviews are the single most satisfying and entertaining trilogy I have ever read. I laughed until I cried (literally, tears on my face).
Would I like to receive a review like this some day? Hell no, but I’d take this over most of the incoherent, non-GIF-filled muttering that most dissatisfied readers manage.
Katrina Passick Lumsden’s review of Fifty Shades of Grey
Also, I’m just going to leave this here, because it also made me laugh this week when some surreal news came out: This. So much. <—- Seriously, click that.
EDIT: Wow- i before e posted these same reviews last night. Must be something in the air this week…
disregard the prologue

Bwahahahahahahaha! Ha! Hahahahaha! The animated gifs made it all worthwhile. Ugh. I’m feeling like I need to step out of a window for Katrina having to go through reading that as a sort of proxy for me. I hadn’t planned on ever reading Fifty Shades of Grey. Now I will point idiot friends who want me to toward these reviews. As if Twilight fan-fic wasn’t enough deterrent. I feel all icky, like I somehow got too close to this book. Excuse me while I search for the hand sanitizer.

I know. I admire her so much for taking those bullets for the rest of us after people liked her first review so much. I read the first chapter of the first book, and it was too much for me (and there’s no sex in that chapter, just… I can’t talk about it).
Speaking of hand sanitizer, I keep hearing that the books are popular because people kept passing their copies to their friends and telling them to read it. Considering what it sounds like most people do with those books, I’m thinking EEW EEW ICK NO EEW.

Yeah, I just… yeah. I don’t talk about Twilight anymore, but you go ahead and throw a fist up there for me, too.

All good. I respect that she went through the whole process and wrote to a specific audience and had lots of success with it. I’m not her audience, and that’s okay. That’s how I leave it.

Me, too. I got through the first two books, had issues, they weren’t for me. Other people love them, that’s fine. It’s like that with any book, these are just bigger. And sparklier. And stalkier. And… not my cup of tea. 😉
