I really didn't see that one coming. I thought Jack was going to be like EVERY OTHER ANTAGONIST IN THE BOOKS and disappear completely after two scenes. Bets on Jack and Elena falling in love and exacting revenge together? I so want that to happen. And ANA. ANASTASIA ROSE DAMN STEELE. Her thought process... ugh, shoot me. "But he's so DEEP, and GODLIKE, and COMPLEX! He's a sexy complicated BEAST. No one KNOWS him like I do, I can FIX him and bring him INTO THE LIGHT!" (wtf does that even mean?). I think that's what I was supposed to think about Grey, and have sexy dreams about how dreamy and sensitive he is, but.... He's a total douche bag, control freak, and Fifty Shades of fucked up. Ana, through this whole thing, is SCARED of him but she justifies his actions by going on about the troubled past he probably doesn't even remember. E.L. James.... her poor kids. That's all I can say about HER.Stephanie B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2946534773407276339.post-89836198564598262262013-07-25T07:51:49.784-04:002013-07-25T07:51:49.784-04:00i cant stop laughing.......

Having been dismissed by the ostensible love interest, he could have properly retired to Tacoma and lived out his life without issues...except that the author needed a villain, and she couldn't use Jose. <br /><br />Thus, compelled by the narrative, Jack has to stick around for another book and make a half-hearted attempt to exact revenge against Ana and Christian. I suspect the drinking and smoking are because he's cursing his poor luck to have to stick around.<br /><br />As for Ana and Elena...I wonder whether Dr. Flynn frequents Elena's salon. Because she always seems to turn up to discourage Ana and Grey after they've made "progress" in their relationship, and she always seems to have the most current information.Silver Adeptnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2946534773407276339.post-81828279772998884712013-07-11T21:12:59.272-04:002013-07-11T21:12:59.272-04:00That's how I always picture her, laughing like...That's how I always picture her, laughing like an old vampire in a black and white movie while rubbing her hands together with evil glee.VannelopeVonTeatsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2946534773407276339.post-81894954844381611552013-07-11T21:01:41.794-04:002013-07-11T21:01:41.794-04:00I love that whoever made that meme actually found ...I love that whoever made that meme actually found a shot of her where she was making a comic-book-villain face.

My... Wow! Can I be the first to suggest tha...Oh... My... Wow! Can I be the first to suggest that the name 'James' be screeched until the person shouting it gets themselves a torn larynx in future? (Think Sheldon Cooper of the TBBT screaming 'WHEEATONNN!') It's great for releasing all my pent-up rage when I've finished reading these deconstructions and all the funny's gone, leaving me with the terrifying realisation that this wank-stain is a national best-seller! EL. James... you are a gobshite, the biggest one there ever was! Learn to write and get yourself a fucking imagination, eh?<br /><br />This book, this fucking book, was a complete waste of the paper it was written on. Seriously people, innocent trees died for this... this... whatever the hell this is, and yes, they die daily so us good folk can wipe our arse on something that doesn't leave newspaper print on out pretty behinds, but surely they'd prefer to be tainted by the aftermath of a vindaloo rather than the plagiarised stains of this woman's tedious fantasy world. I sure as hell would if I were a tree!<br /><br />Not sure what to pick on in this chapter, there's so much juicy wrongness going on all up in here that I'm foaming at the mouth! Taking the bad writing, the lack of plot and the humanoid characters from the equation, we are left with nothing but a message that reads 'if your boyfriend is a total shit that controls and abuses you, don't worry, he's totally gorgeous and you're lucky he chose you so just love him a bit harder and all will be well in the world'. How can any agent/publisher/marketing company condone that? Not everyone who reads these books will recognise the message being sent here as a bad one and that shit is DANGEROUS!<br /><br />Also, I just couldn't let this one go:<br /><br />“I was the best thing that ever happened to you,” she hisses arrogantly at him. “Look at you now. One of the richest, most successful, entrepreneurs in the US—controlled, driven—you need nothing. You are master of your universe.”<br /><br />Again with dropping in the name of your fanfic piece, eh James? We get it, you stole your characters off another writer, fucked that shit up something nasty and made yourself a mint. Stop fucking bragging already, you're shite at what you do and no matter how many gazillion bazillions you have piled up in your vault, that fact will never change!<br /><br />Can't wait for Fifty Freed to start pissing me off. Good luck to you Erika, I don't envy the task you have ahead of you, but I'm damn grateful to you for even considering it.VannelopeVonTeatsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2946534773407276339.post-54175287837218709722013-07-11T11:18:56.957-04:002013-07-11T11:18:56.957-04:00So exactly how did she save him?
I'm serious....So exactly how did she save him?<br /><br />I'm serious. What did he need saving from in the first place? His wealth? His arrogance? His lifestyle? His kink?<br /><br />His suffering which seems utterly author-imposed for angst purposes?<br /><br />The man's been in therapy for years. He grew up -- after the age of 4 -- in a wealthy, apparently loving family. <br /><br />She doesn't DO anything. She doesn't save him, she doesn't show any great strength of character, any spectacular intelligence, and, given that we're told she'd never had any sexual experiences of any sort before she met Christian, I refuse to believe that she has some world-shattering sexual abilities. So what did she do in that month or whatever short period of time to save him from anything.<br /><br />And by the end of the second book, there's no evidence that he is in any way different from the person he was at the beginning of the first book.<br /><br />Is this one of those situations where the author waves her hand and says "Poof! Now suddenly he's a new man and it's all because of her!" and we're supposed to believe it because she says so?<br /><br />I've said it before and I'll say it now: there isn't enough plot in these two books to fill one novel, let alone two.Noranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2946534773407276339.post-17664447410157656122013-07-11T09:03:50.184-04:002013-07-11T09:03:50.184-04:00I couldnt agree more to you and your opinion on th...I couldnt agree more to you and your opinion on this horrible book.

Are you shitting me, Ana? You've dated a millionaire for all of a month, maybe two, and had the exact same stupid angst that everyone has in their first relationship. I'm not judging that, okay, I had it, and I think it's part of growing up; we all do stupid, crazy things to "prove our love" until we realize that it's, well, stupid and crazy. But I am guessing that dating a super-hot millionaire who secures your job, buys you stuff, and had a sweet pad is not at all like being with someone through illness, student loans, unemployment, deaths in the family, friend drama, personal growth, scary finances, and moves. "Come so far," my ass. Get back to me when you two have had to accomplish anything big with very small resources. Or when you actually know each other. Or when you've actually had to do some personal growth. Ugh.pope_suburbanhttp://liquidwaffles.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.com
