Didn't like Twilight? Couldn't stand even a few paragraphs of Fifty Shades? Don't even want to know what this is about? Want to set your vampire friends on me for insulting your holy books? Well I have one for you.
The pace sags a bit in the middle but picks up again right at the end. The humour isn't very delicate but it tickles in all the right places, and believe me, it's really outrageous at times.
Everything from the graphic design of the cover page to the last rib-tickling sentence is a jibe at the original. And the original's original. Speaking of original, the humour most certainly is (Sorry, couldn't resist!). The reader doesn't have to go through the ordeal of reading Fifty Shades to be entertained by the Fifty Shames of Earl Grey.
Word of caution though - don't read this one anywhere near strangers, they're going to think you're out of your mind with you snorting/giggling/having a good belly laugh at frequent irregular intervals.
I won't say anything about the plot, it would just spoil the fun. Besides, plenty of people have already posted half the book in quotes already anyway. Why bother?
If you're looking for a light read to relax at the end of the day (or anytime during the day or night) this is a safe bet. If you're looking for edifying literature to uplift your mind and broaden your horizons, lighten up and take a break from the edification. Sometimes you just need a good laugh.
Final verdict - A nice light read..
