A Goodreads user asked this question about Fifty Shades of Grey (Fifty Shades, #1):
Why was this trash published? every copy ever printed needs to be burned
Reborn This trash was published because there is no longer any integrity in publishing. They saw dollar signs and didn't even bother to give it a good edit. …moreThis trash was published because there is no longer any integrity in publishing. They saw dollar signs and didn't even bother to give it a good edit. The editor in charge of it was told not to change anything from the fanfic crap it started as. I have a passionate hatred for this book and no respect for anyone who thinks it's well-written. I can understand liking it on a superficial, there-was-sex-in-it kind of way. But there is NOTHING ELSE about it that's worth time or paper. (And even the sex is dull.)(less)
