How crazy that it was given such praise when it was purposely written by so many different people to be "bad".

Only in that case it was just that the author had a following writing Twilight fanfic and those fans followed her to bookstores. She could've written anything with all those fans and it would've been a hit.Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972963159508058911.post-37876762834554555932016-10-21T10:43:39.907-05:002016-10-21T10:43:39.907-05:00I didn't think of that (50 Shades of Grey).

But building a story (or lack of one) around sex or violence is boring.Valerie Cappshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12693254213178477800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972963159508058911.post-68457339073161049682016-10-21T10:37:15.072-05:002016-10-21T10:37:15.072-05:00I haven't heard of this, but I find it hilario...I haven't heard of this, but I find it hilarious that they would edit good writing to make it worse and it still sold tons of books. Maybe we should take a lesson from this! Then again, isn't 50 Shades of Grey the same kind of deal--terrible writing but lots of sex? I have no interest in reading that one either.Tamara Narayanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03725262301091012950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972963159508058911.post-12310709290395150082016-10-21T08:00:47.931-05:002016-10-21T08:00:47.931-05:00It was a time of social change and free love.

The same type of book would probably not even cause a blip on the radar today, but a hoax on a different topic is open for grabs. You should give it a shot. ;-)Valerie Cappshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12693254213178477800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972963159508058911.post-68812312493499685132016-10-21T07:56:53.184-05:002016-10-21T07:56:53.184-05:00I felt much better after finding out it was a hoax...I felt much better after finding out it was a hoax.
