I wholeheartedly support the literal burning of 50 shades of grey. No one should EVER have to be subjected to that affront to language.

Seriously, I read the first page, just to see what all the fuss was about, and that’s as far as I could get. I’ve never had such an allergic reaction to words. Thank you, Amazon Look Inside Feature, for saving me from borrowing that from the library, much less purchasing it.

It was so bad and nonsensical I legitimately thought I’d accidentally bought a fake book…Out of sheer perseverance, I made it through halfway of the first book before realising I’d rather pluck my eyes out wishing I was as illiterate as E.L. James.

I’m so sorry. I feel your pain. Well, I felt it for a few paragraphs.
