I don’t get the 50 shades thing or the Twilight series either.
Thank you for posting this. My friends were recommending this and I thought it was just a more graphic romance novel. Now I know that I WILL NOT be buying this book.
The book is based on not just a story that was pulled from a website... it was a Twilight Fan Fiction. The names were changed for the 50 shades release.
Makes sense now, doesn’t it ?
Also, the book is meant to gauge control factors in the population. It seems that role-models are gone, and now it’s all about glorifying submission.
I don’t think it will be on my reading list anytime soon.
I will be glad when the hype about this stupid book is over......It appears bored housewives aren’t the only people to be reading it either seems it’s a big hit with teen girls.
I work with mostly women and they talk about it in the break room quite often.
No kidding, the women who dig this stuff are Obama voters for sure!
50 Shades is a Romney campaign effort, Twilight is a Hillary campaign effort.
In Twilight, not only are all men not to be considered by women, but even of-age teenage males can't actually be alive. In the Hillary School of Total Female Destruction, the only good man is a dead man, so the horny Hillary followers said, "fine, I'll read stories about screwing dead teenage boys and then you can't say I'm wrong."
50 Shades came out of Romney's war room where they were trying to figure out how to get the Hillary vote. They decided to combine sex fantasies with what they believe to be Mitt's main coloring attraction, and then flip the dynamic to the opposite of the Hillary commands - i.e. submission instead of domination - because they paid for an expensive shrink to tell them what to do.
Ya'll think I'm joking.
I'm not.
It may be hard to swallow Rush, but I'd bet Hillary did plenty of submitting to land her Bubba.
Huh?
Even a lot of mommy porn afficianados are panning this one.

Thank you and thank Rush and Katherine from sparing me..I have friends who devour romance novels. Not for me...I’ve read some tolerable stuff they gave me, like Nora Roberts to pass the hours when I was taking care of my mother. This doesn’t sound like ‘it.’.
In fact the only really good ‘chick book’ series (if you want to call it that) that I have read were the “Clan of the Cave Bear” series by Jean Auel. They were outstanding.
The irony is that if men in the workplace talked in a break room about a similar book that they read, and women overheard it, the phones in the HR department would melt down.
Michelle Obama is reading the 57 Shades of Grey
...or so I’ve heard.
True dat. My wife likes to know what all the fuss is about, so she read it.
She read me passages. It's so banal as to be pukeworthy, but the S&M angle is apparently exciting for many (not for her).
great one linear.
I have a friend who read the trilogy. She has become obsessed with it. She talks about Christian Grey like he really exists. She ran out and bought gray and blue contact lenses so she and her husband can role play as the characters from the book. She now wants a pair of silver ben-wa balls that apparently figure prominently in the book. And all I can think is why in the world would you find a mental case like this guy appealing in any way, shape or form and fantasize about a sexual relationship based on mutual degradation? Gross!
To be honest ..... I don't understand what all the hype is about a bunch of paint brochures and swatches!!!!
If there is any justice in the world some man should file a sexual harassment complaint against these women with the HR department so women can get a taste of their own medicine.
