In that case, you might also like Goodnight Moon and the Little Engine that Could. Also good easy reads.

If I hate it, I'l give it to a friend who "Wants to read it so badly! I love anything Twilight!" and I won't bother reading te other 2 books. Which is why I didn't buy the 3 pack. Otherwise I would feel obligated to read them. Hate them or not

This series sounds like I will probably lose a lot of brain cells reading so I think I will pass on it..sounds horrible.

Like this book is REALLY supposed to be a literary or English wonder work. It's erotic literature, wasn't meant to be great writing in and of itself, it was supposed to turn you the hell on. I don't get hating on the writing when the real intent of the writer was for it to be erotic (fanfic.)

No one said it had to be an English wonder work, but some people do prefer to read more complex syntax and sentence structure. I do not enjoy reading things that are not well written.

I've given up on it. I made it through the first sex scene and I was done.

My question is what is the sex life like of these women that are falling all over themselves over this book like it's the hottest thing ever? I cringed through the entire thing, there was nothing hot about it.

This. And I know of someone who posted on Facebook that it was the greatest thing ever and she couldn't wait to read the third. She's a teacher. smiley: indifferent

That's totally fine and great, I do as well. With that said, the point I was making is this book wasn't really that aimed at "well written", more along the lines of the fan-fic it started out as focusing more so on the lusty content than the exact syntax/structure so picking it a part for that reason on it's own, to me, is silly. It's like getting made at Harlequin for printing the same stuff and complaining that its writing sucks. Those books don't really aim to please an audience that want strong writing, they want a quick entertaining fix.

The book's aim is to be an erotic read and on that count, its achieved its goal well.
