Reviews Literature / Fifty Shades Of Grey

I don´t get the appeal

I just don´t know why this is popular. I mean, even when I don´t like Twilight, at least I am able to see why it was popular. I can´t say the same about Fifty Shades of Grey, a book without any single redeeming value from my point of view.

The "story" (or lack of it thereof) is unspeakably boring, with lots and lots of padding (There are entire chapters were absolutely nothing happens.) The narration is incredibly tedious and annoying, and the reader is constantly reminded about how incredibly gorgeous and handsome Edward...I mean, Christian Grey is.

Most of the characters are totally flat and uninteresting. The only exception was Christian Grey, who is an unlikeable Jerk Ass and one of the most irritating and annoying characters ever made. If he was ugly and poor, he would have been considered a sexist pig and a disgusting abuser, but since he is rich and handsome, the book seems to justify his horrible behavior. The sex scenes were the most anti-erotic stuff I have read in my entire life, and I think that even Tara Gilesbie would have written something better.

For me, reading this book was like reading Twilight all over again. Except than worse. Much, much worse (if you can believe that)

This is probably the worst book I have read in my entire life. It is dumb, is boring, is poorly written and has horrible characters. I honestly think that even The Eye of Argon, My Immortal, Christian Humber Reloaded and even Twilight were better than this.
