Gotta love the comments. "50 Shades of Grey", the current erotic bodice ripper favorite, has terrific comments on Amazon:
Identifying himself as "a male senior citizen, a semi-retired
gynecologist whose customary literary fare is spy novels and military
techno-thrillers", david shobin/thatch pond corp wrote, "At my age, my arthritis flared up just reading about Ana's sexual
gymnastics. And for some reason, I kept thinking about her contracting
genital warts."
"DS from LA" used the Kindle search function, to tabulate the repetitive physical references to eyes rolling (41), lip biting (35), lips "quirking up" (16 and, no I don't know what it means either), "cocks
his head to one side" (17), etc.
edenae pointed out that when " characters speak to each other they have to remind themselves who they
are talking to 'Hello Mrs. Steele', 'How was your day Mr. Grey', 'It was
fine Anastasia', 'Oh good, mine was great Christian.'"
Elly Abs had some quibbles: "EL James has very limited vocabulary and frankly if a man screamed my
name every time he reached climax i would have to slap him into next Tuesday."
DocKaren "dockaren" : "The best thing to come of this book are the multiple cleverly written
reviews posted here that describe how repellant this book is much more
eloquently than I could ever hope to."
A random mental walk.
