And the erotica takes a back seat to the abusive e-mail exchanges between Christian Gray and Ana. I read it because I like train wrecks, but GOOD GOD was it dull.

I ...I sympathize with your experience this weekend. I get to deal with people dropping more money than I will ever see on books that they only want to read because they either saw them on TV or some Political-Figure-of-the-Moment told them that they MUST read. Sometimes it's like no one has individualized tastes anymore. <br /><br />Also? The next person that tells me Fifty Shades of Grey will "save my marriage" is going to get a punch in the face. <br /><br />Anyway, sorry for the digression. It happens because there is nothing happening in this book. ;) <br /><br />As you said, the bit of worldbuiling about the Fae being exiled if they are busted for having worshippers COULD be epic. It's like all those tantalizing little tidbits of plot possibilities that LKH leaves scattered all over the Anita Blake series...things that could be so good if she would just DO something with them. <br /><br />But, no. No, of course not. It's all about the half-assed erotica. And I have a suspicion that most erotica writers wouldn't want to claim LKH as one of their own either.

But she's not a lesbian, you guys, this is real important, Merry Sue is just that hot.<br /><br />*weeps*<br /><br />"Nothing says "Humility" like having people who have more money than you will ever see in your lifetime berate you because you couldn't magically figure out they meant "blue cheese crumbles" and not "blue cheese dressing" when all they said was "with the blue cheese"."<br /><br />That's not humility. That's entitled assholes being douchebags because they figure the people around them should be able to read their minds.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05828438966741169694noreply@blogger.com
