review 1: I found this a hilarious read. I haven't read the books series it is parodying but I know the general gist of the plot line. This was was a great find on Amazon (I wasn't going to pay for it, I'm glad I didn't thanks to multiple issues that made me dislike the novel)I noticed multiple spelling mistakes throughout the book and during one part of the chapter the kindle version decided it didn't want to give me the whole text - probably just a tech failure, but it put me off the book.After a while I found the book boring. I might give it another chance in the future, but for now? I doubt it.
review 2: It's difficult to review a book in terms of parody when you haven't read the book being parodied (there are still a few of us). However, the author states that it s... moretands alone and I agree, it does. It's rude, crude and raunchy and in places downright gross but the purpose of parody is to exaggerate as well as to amuse. I downloaded the sample of the original book but found it very dry. I evidently didn't persist as far as the juicy bits! This short novel starts rather similarly to the book itself but is very funny. I have probably missed a good number of 'in' jokes which will mean more if you have read 'Grey'. As the book progresses though, it becomes darker and takes on a more thougtful tone. I feel that it actually became something else, something of its own. Instead of simply telling us 'what' it began to ask 'why' - and to tell us.I'm sure this book will offend a few people but if you are up for it, it will amuse and amaze you. I read it in a single evening - I'm not sure if that tells you more about me than the book! less
