50 Shades Of Agony
It’s rare that I don’t finish a book, but I just couldn’t make it through the latest sensation 50 Shades of Grey.
Before I get into my review of a book I didn’t finish, let me tell you that I’m a sucker for a good, steamy romance. After a day of pouring over political articles and listening to pundits I love to be swept away in romantic fantasy. There. That’s my confession… and guilty pleasure.
Moving on… I heard about the book from my mother (who hasn’t read it, but had heard about the hoopla) who knew I indulged in the genre. Out of curiosity I downloaded the book to my Kindle. I tried to read it, and in my defense I don’t expect romance novels to be great literature, but… Oh. My. God. What I read of this book was terrible. Poorly written, poorly edited, and with a heroine no one but Twilight fans could relate to.
