we got out hands on an original in english audiobook version of 50 shades of grey. given the specific topic of the book and my own little hobby here we had to give it a try...
so here are out opinions after first half of book 1
1 it is quite obvious that this begun its life as twifiction, characters just feel copy pasted. and i'm not trying to bash on it, it is just that its a story about a pale awkward girl who will do anything for a distant guy who tries to keep her away but , oh just cant help himself... oh and she has a friend who wants to jump her bones... who is , i think mexican and names jose.....
but still i will give the writer some credit, we stuck by this book... we gave up on trying to listen to twilight at 45th infinite rant on edwards hawtness.... this one we stuck by... ish
see, thing about us is , we don't like jumping on bandwagons, we try stuff out
so.. anyways, i will give the write some mad props for including a personal favorite gesture of mine and that is lipbite!
thing that kills the realism is the fact that this is what it is, a female orientated erotic novel. as such it uses every trick in the book to try and paint the picture of the dark mysterious tortured soul, the kind girls just want to teach what love is...
the guy that just appears when you think of him, and so on.
unfortunately it is a cliche that is deepening the confusion between genders and promotes alienation... but ill get to that on another occasion and in an actual strip...
so... what was the experience like for us so far?
we-----laughed---our---asses--off!!!!!
and here is why, it is not the story, it is the reader. she is doing a good job with it, a bit droning from time to time, but there are a few phrases that keep repeating ... 2 of them are,
oh my!
and
i swallow!
being immature douchebags , both of us kept hearing george takei saying the oh my...
and then it went from bad to worse after we saw this joke video
My friends decided I was the most innocent lesbian they know. So naturally they made me read parts of this to them. It was scarring and wrong but I played along and would purr and everything. They wound up hitting me for playing along. Apparently Im not aloud to do anything sexual.
That link is one of the best I've ever seen! Hilarious! Couldn't help but picture Iago from Aladdin. And then the girl at the end, her expression, and then: "Oh shit, this is hot."
Love Sunstone, by the way. It has an actual storyline and believable, complex characters. Not to mention your art is amazing!
Holy crap! Warn a person first. I though that was the link to the Gorge Takei video because you know ... he did the same thing. But then it was actually Gilbert Gottfried and I nearly died I laughed so hard. This has got to be the funnest thing I have ever read / seen in my life. This DA post and that video. Wow. Bravo! That amazing!

Thanks for the fun and critics.
(We are big fans of sunstone, although, keep it on, please!)
Why did I look at this and the attached link in a public place?
Especially because I'm surrounded by my peers who know little to nothing about me.
Now they all think I'm into mommy porn. The lulz here are awe-inspiring, and at the same time, I'm uncomfortable. It's a weird mix.
I'm glad you guys find it about as ludicrous as it truly is.
