Fifty Shades of Bad Writing
What would have made Fifty Shades of Grey better?
First, get a better narrator. I never read the book in print. However, listening to Ana and Christian's endless emails, (including dates and times) made me want to pass out from bordom. Further, the constant bickering between Ana's subconsious and her "inner goddes" was annoying, and the writer's overly-generous use the terms "holy cow", "holy s--t", and "oh my" became predictable. I'm no prude, and have read many books with erotic components. However, with the writer's use of the same descriptions over and over again (e.g. "exquisit orgasm"), even the sex scenes became boring. I truely don't understand why this book has received so much hype.
What could E L James have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Take a writing class
Would you be willing to try another one of Becca Battoes performances?
No
Laughed so hard, I nearly coughed up a lung!!
Is there anything you would change about this book?
I would have Gilbert Gottfried narrate the entire thing. That would really take this craptacular audiobook to the next level - definitely. Seriously folks...I'm not even kidding - watch the clip of him reading selections of this on You Tube. Classic. Absolute claaaaassssssiiiiiicccc.
Would you recommend Fifty Shades of Grey to your friends? Why or why not?
Only to people that can laugh at truly bad work that was meant to be taken seriously. In fact, get them all in a room together with copious amounts of alcohol and blast this audiobook. Make it a drinking game - take a shot every time Anastasia refers to her "inner goddess" or sputters "oh, my!" Take another shot every time creepy Grey "levels his intense (serial killer-like) gaze upon Anastasia". On second thought, don't - everyone will wind up dead from alcohol poisoning.
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
Let's see, was it Ms. Battoe's mind-numbingly dull and droning Valley Girl-esque delivery? Check.
