The books werent bad. They weren't good but they weren't bad. The first is by FAR the worst literacy wise, as its just full of sex and it made me cringe how things were always described as such
Like...really?! 'My sex'?
Looking past the silly constant sex bits in the first book though, the second and third have more actual story to them, and as I said earlier I am yet to find any part where it wasn't consensual, despite so many people claiming it happens...
The film was..quite bad. I actually went to see it for two reasons. One, so I wasnt the only person not to have seen it, and two...to see how on earth they could get an actor to say half of the lines in the book seriously  Luckily they missed out the more cringey stuff (eg. 'Dont worry, you expand too  )
But anyway, as I said earlier, I don't understand the fuss. Some of the book is badly written. However its not as bad as some say./ I do not understand those who reckon its bloody amazing. People who say its glorified rape need to give their heads a wobble and read it properly. The quotes on websites are taken entirely out of context and the girl enjoys it all tbh (besides a tickling part...but that can hardly be classed as rapey  ). Second/third book isnt even about S&M...and if anyone doubts how much the female likes it, the guy gives up all the bondage and stuff and shes constantly trying to get him back into it all.... |
I think your evaluation is about as close to how I feel about it as anyone can get Vicky
