A badly written novel depicting sexual sadism/ masochism has taken the world by storm. It has become the world's bestseller toppling JR Rowling's novels. And it has been made into a film, as has been a lot of written sewerage.
This is a sign that that the world has gone bonkers; moral standards are zero and anything parading sexual abuse in its worst forms is sought after.
Fifty Shades of Grey has topped best-seller
lists around the world, selling over 125 million copies worldwide by June 2015.
It has been translated into 52 languages, and set a record in the United
Kingdom as the fastest-selling paperback of all time. Critical reception of the
book, however, has tended toward the negative, with the quality of its prose
generally seen as poor. Universal
Pictures and Focus Features produced a film adaptation, which was released on 13 February
2015 which also received generally unfavourable reviews.
Sir Salman Rushdie said about the book:
"I've never read anything so badly written that got published. It made Twilight look like War and Peace."] Maureen Dowd described the book in The New York Times as being written
"like a Bronte devoid of talent,"
and said it was "dull and poorly written." Jesse Kornbluth of The
Huffington Post said: "As a reading
experience, Fifty Shades ... is a sad joke,
puny of plot".
