It qualifies as Water Cooler Easy-Speak. People claim to be bleary-eyed from reading it and its two sequels in as many days... on their iPhones, no less. Can you imagine? Well, I didn't find it quite so compelling. It took me a few weeks of pick-up reading to get through Book 1. Nonetheless, I did and shall probably catch the rest of the series... but not for some time. Why? The author is lightyears away from being a word-crafter, with a nasty habit of repeating meaningless descriptions, ad nauseam - painful consumption. Okay, already... we get the visuals. And there's another problem...
Ana and her perverted lover do not interest this observer. I don't care about the outcome of their story - total detachment. On the other hand...
Without spoiler warnings, many online reviewers have chosen to opine in a way that reveals The End. I'll spare y'all the details, but it might include a role reversal - salvation. All this aside...
Along with many, I find the educational aspect of the book to be boundless. Yep, I must say that I've been sheltered from the deep, disheartening knowledge of porn tactics designed to demean. Dom/Sub. Master/Slave. Oops, I'm repeating myself; the tendency must be contagious - boredom? But hey...
There'll always be something to chat about with over ten million others - success?
