HITH did this novel get published, nevermind make the NYT best seller list?
WHY do we accept such crap in the erotica genre'?

I wrote better erotica than this when I was 17! Are we so sexually repressed here in the US that we'll celebrate any novel with a BDSM theme, even if it is written by a hack?
What say you? Did you think this book was worthy of the praise it has received?

Author E L James has quickly become a household name, she is known as the woman that brought the world "Fifty Shades of Grey." She is credited with helping to boost book sales for major stores and even assisted a small paper mill that was failing. James has sold more than 40 million copies worldwide and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight with two of her books still holding spots in the top five on theNew York Times Bestseller List. On top of her monetary success James has also become respected in the world of women's equality. E L James, along with many other influential women, was honored at the Woman of the Year Awards and Lunch, hosted by Sandi Toksvig. The event took place on October 22 at the InterContinental London Park Lane Hotel.
