  • I legitimately started reading Fifty Shades of Grey without knowing what it was. I’d been packing for a trip and realized at the last second that I didn’t have anything to read on the plane, so I quickly scanned the top books for sale in my Kindle and added one after about 6 seconds of research. I figured it was probably fine, maybe about some sort of grey area moral issue or whatever.

    What struck me about the book was how terribly it’s written from the very start. It’s like the author didn’t know enough words to fill each page, so they just repeated the same ones over and over. Eg, the characters “murmer” to each other like 4x per scene.
