Laughed so hard, I nearly coughed up a lung!!
If you can get it free, from a library or something, save your dime, IMO.
Overall, if I had any idea, if I knew before what I know now, I certainly wouldn't have purchased it. Though it's certainly past the general romance genre. The sex scenes are explicit but the language didn't always coincide, so it's difficult to really call it erotica. The book was too long and not worth all of the hype. Duh! And the same female main character seemed to be unconvincing in her fear and concern about BDSM. If I never hear another girl refer to anything sexual as "hot" or a female say "oh my" it'll be too soon! To refer to a male sexual dominant as "bossy" seemed dumb and too obvious. But he confused immaturity with submissiveness. Considering she sounded like she was 11, his assessment might be understandable. It was hard to understand the main male character's attraction to the main female one other than seeing her as a submissive. But the dialogue is where I put most of the blame when I think of how disappointed I was in the book. I don't know if the immaturity was just the writtend dialogue or the narrator's take on the dialogue or both. That pseudo adult relationship was a one-sided adult experience. It felt and sounded like the only dialogue that the main female character included "oh my," hot," "my inner goddes," and "so bossy." She sounded like a very young, immature child doing very adult things and, supposedly, engaged in an adult relationship. The author repeatedly and without fail refers to female sexual parts as "down there" while also repeatedly referring to sex using the f word this makes no sense. The only reason I finished it was to find out more about the history of the main male character, the reason for the book title-which I do with all books-and my unflinching hope and belief that the book had to get better. But I could barely finish it, was so happy when it was over, and quickly removed the two sequels from my wish list b/c I don't care what happens next. I fell for all of the hype and purchased this book. I'm sure there will be a movie.ĭisappointed! Disappointed! It may just be me, but I'm clueless as to why there's so much fuss about this book. but did it have any redeeming qualities?Īll I can say is nice try, but I am not even sure why this book was published. But she did a good job considering the recording was done last minute due to poor choice of the first narrator. There were sometimes when I felt more emotion could have been injected into certain parts of the book. I wouldn't hesitate to listen to another novel read by Becca. She had a nice voice but you can't sugar coat crap. What does Becca Battoe bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book? Would you ever listen to anything by E L James again? however, James is deserving of that review.
And I have never labelled an author as subpar. I was frustrated hearing the same expressions and cliche descriptions over and over. It seems to me that she is a new writer who hasn't quite developed a good foundation of creative and unique words. I would shy away from readin EL James again. Would you try another book from E L James and/or Becca Battoe? Very boring and redundant plot line/writing style
