Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L.James |
What is there about "E.L. James' badly written unapologetically graphic trilogy of novels to sell a whopping 100 million copies in 52 languages worldwide?" Kenneth Turan asks the question perhaps we all should ask.
Turan, of the Los Angeles Times, offers an observation made by critics who read the book, then saw a preview of the film, Fifty Shades of Grey. They might be best summarized by Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly, " It's too bad the movie also imports James's atrociously written prose and bizarre sexual politics, but then, no one buys a Fifty Shades ticket for the dialogue."
