    Me, too. No judgment against anybody who had enjoyed it; just not my thing.

    50 Shades . . .

    Read half of the first book to see what the big deal was. Nothing more than poorly written erotic fiction. This is a very accurate review.

    Moved on to poorly written suspense fiction. Reading "Don't Know Jack: The Hunt for Reacher" by Diane Capri. Yup, a new series based on Lee Child's wandering character. Actually, I don't think its that poorly written. I'll probably finish it up tonight.

    OMG; that review of 50 Shades of Grey is a riot. Thanks for the link, LW!

    50 shades of grey

    Limewave - I downloaded a sample onto my kindle awhile back and thought the writing was extremely amateurish too. Just seemed like something on the BS list should be better quality but maybe not.

    BS = best seller or ...?
