I've read so many bad reviews of the 'Fifty Shades' trilogy but I think the author must have done something right considering the books are a sell-out. I haven't read the books myself but they are definitely on my To-Be-Read list. More out of curiosity than anything.
There has been a lot of criticism concerning its 'fan-fiction' origins and the bad writing. Some have labelled it 'porn'. Well, it has obviously stirred the literary world.
And I think the bad reviews have only added to the mystery surrounding these books. When you boil it down, it's the sales that matter in the end. Especially for the author.
I thought this was a fair review so I am sharing it. Thank you to Karen A Wyle.

I'm sorry. I do not agree with what you said about its the sales that matter. What you write should matter to you, especially if it is something that might influence someone in a negative way.
ReplyDeleteThat's okay. I like discussion and I see your point. Thanks for stopping by :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with you! In the end sales do matter because obviously what the authors write does matter because that is why they wrote it right? Anyway I haven't read this series either and hope that we can do a buddy read on shut up & read if you want of course! :)

Thank you. Sounds like a plan. I'll have the books in my possession shortly.
