i am DONE defending 50 shades

holy hell! it's terrible!! 

i was firmly in the, "it doesn't have to be good, it's fun!" camp but it really isn't that fun.  13 chapters in and there hasn't been anything that's not in any other trashy romance novel.

I torrented the original fan fiction and it is so terrible on so many levels.

It's also kind of petty but her total lack of geographical knowledge of Washington state made me stabby just browsing over it.

Honestly, the one question I ask myself when I read 50 Shades threads is, do women not realize the internet is a thing (and that thing is for porn?).

I can only read about 15 minutes of it at a time because it just gets on my nerves--it' painful to read.  Also, I keep picking out the grammar errors and making more readable compound sentences out of her little bitty ones.

Right? I mean erotica can be really hot, but porn is at the tip of my fingers all the damn time!

These people need to discover literotica.

Although, it's been years since I was anywhere near that site. I assume it's still around. lol

From what I hear about 50 shades it just sounds like another romance novel.  What's the difference?  Why is this one so much more popular than the ones with Fabio on the cover?
