Twitter is abuzz. Bloggers are raving. Last night I read a story on a mainstream wire service talking it up. (I’m debating whether I can get away with running it on our books page without causing an uproar.)
What has everyone so hot and bothered? “Fifty Shades of Grey.”
I enjoy a good, steamy story as much as the next gal. And the article did an excellent job of making the book sound intriguing.
However, I’ve also heard/read that it got its start as “Twilight” fan fiction. Since I couldn’t get through any of the “Twilight” books, that makes me leery.
Hold onto your rotten tomatoes, please, and save your breath. You’ll never change my mind about Bella and company.
But I will take your advice, writer friends, about “Fifty Shades of Grey.” What say you? Should I spend valuable free time reading it or give it (and its sequels) a miss?
