Fifty shades of grey

[Woodchip]

I know the guy that writes the @50ShadesOfShit material. A very funny guy that does a lot of parody accounts. I bought the books for Mrs Aadam and she is enjoying them so far, although the writing isn't great, it's good enough to get you to the end.

The funny thing in all of this is that the main guy wears a suit and drives an Audi, so now one of her friends thinks of me when she is reading it... Not sure if that's a good thing or not...

He's probably taller though.

Have you been speaking to my girlfriend...

I haven't read it but I did recently read a book called Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde. A great book but if its titillation you are after, not for you.

How do you find out whether the sales of this book have risen due to hapless plonkers buying the wrong one?

I recently read a novel entitled Between Shades of Grey by Ruta Sepetys about Lithuanians forceably taken from their homes under Stalin and transported to Siberian work camps.

As a proficient (and as yet unpublished author of two fine novels) Cheeky Monkey can only concur. Good luck to both E L James and J K Rowling, but neither of them are exactly gifted exponents of the craft.

Haven't ever read (or previously heard of) E L James, but love Harry Potter or loath him, if you think those J K Rowling books are badly written - then perhaps you need to check.
