Background:
So, this past weekend myself and a few friends went out for a quick weekend to the beach. Thanks to hubs he ended up meeting a small crew of colleagues who are all aboard the no kids train like us so we hang out because everyone else our age is knee deep in elementary school. Our guys hung out at my house Friday then we girls came back Sunday. Between 4pm Friday and 5 pm Sunday I was contemplating some commandment breaking things.
So, I decided to be the DD just because. We're driving, shotgun rider friend pulls out her Nook to read on the drive and starts asking for book recs. Books get tossed then she yells "Oooo! Have you guys read 50 Shades of Grey!?!?! Everyone keeps telling me to read it because it's the best thing ever?"
Now, I'm the driver.
I swerve. Literally. It's OMFG Sarah! What was in the road??? Nothing. I just lose my you know what.
This thing has officially infiltrated my life. I honestly wanted to pull over and open the door and chunk her out of my truck.
My BFF is behind me squealing a muffled "Noooo!" because she knows I'm wiggng out. I start ranting about it being Twific and this friend, let's call her Kelly goes WTF is fanfiction? SO that's another story.
But my question is to you campers: Give me some valid reasons why this book is a menace to society and the most awful thing ever.
1. NO. Absolutely NO mention of it being P2P. That's a can of worms on it's own. But besides that give me some help because I'm getting texts from Kelly and today we met up for lunch and she doesn't get why I hate it so much.
Who's dished out the money to read the actually "books" here?
How much of it is carbon copy? She didn't see the problem in P2P so that is a lost cause. Is crack whore mommy still in the book? The tampon? Kelly went bug eyed on the tampon in the fic explanation.
For a split second I wants to hurt her.
But I need some reasons. Valid reasons why do you hate it so? And go...
Note: this isn't meant for a "I don't see why people hate it so much" we know. A LOT love it to death and a LOT hate it to death. Different strokes. But I need my fellow haters to help me out here on compiling a list to explain to someone 50+ reasons why 50 Shades of Gray is just plain awful.
If you hate it, BESIDES P2P because that's a dead horse, WHY????????
