I just read a hilariously horrible review.

I'm probably not going to read it. What do you like about the book strawr? I haven't read a good review only a few people I know said they liked it.

Hello, Randall. I assume you're joking when you asked that, but if not, it's a best-selling novel, by EL James. Supposedly erotic but probably a very pedestrian read.

I think it's pretty good. It's holding my attention span well. Some parts seem a bit cheesy, and I feel like some parts could of been better. Some parts are just really hot!

Some parts of the book are very unrealistic. Like when Ana looses her virginity to Christen. And how she wanted to go again right after. OKAY, yeah right!

It's basically a Twilight fanfic--that's how it started. Then details changed. And BDSM is involved apparently.

Haven't read it. I don't like graphic sex scenes or kinky stuff. Not going to read it.

But hey, to each their own.

Twilight is definitely not my thing, neither is Hunger Games and (get ready to gasp) Harry Potter. (I know how can I say that! lol) etc.

I was never one to read a new and popular books...that eventually became a movie.

This is the only time this has ever happened. lol

Now that I think of it, the only time I read a book before it became a movie...was a very long time ago. So long ago that it was "Because of Winn Dixie" lol

Never saw Hunger Games. Almost did last week, and I might tomorrow.

haha I just found Brock reading parts of it in 50 different voices. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqkNYfKZV6s

Haven't read the book in a while, since I started back in school, but I dropped my class so I got back into it...yeah it's a bit cheesy how Mr. Grey has a sex contract for Ana.
