Best comment I heard was that if Grey lived in a trailer park, he'd be completely creepy. But, he's a billionaire, so that makes the whole thing a romance.

Sick.

Remember poor people are crazy/weird, rich people are eccentric.

When you look at the simplicity of the story....it’s basically a eight-line story that someone flipped to 300-odd pages. As bad as Howard the Duck was written....I’d consider it a better movie script than Fifty Shades.

Dave Barry wrote a very funny article about this book. I can not post a link to it from my Kindle. His humor is always a delight to read. He basically said that if this guy lived in a trailer park or some place like that, he would just be a run of the mill pervert. However, because Mr Gray was a billionaire is was Ok.

I said the same thing. If the guy had been physically unattractive and lived in a trailer park, the book would have been in the gothic horror section of the bookstore not the romance section.

Money and status is the difference between a creep and Prince Charming.

Next time you're in a bookstore, check out a few of the "romance novels", and compare how many times the guy is a pirate captain, nobleman, billionaire, etc, versus novels featuring George the accountant.
