where do i begin!!!!? Edward and Bella do a porno in 9 1/2 weeks

first off i have nothing against porn. i have work in the porn industry before DOING GRAPHIC!!!! so the subject matter does not in anyway offend me. i have read many novels with erotica themes and gave the 5 stars. to name a few... tipping of velvet by Sara waters, The Blood of Flowers by Amirrezvani, Anita, Middlesex by Eugenides, Jeffrey, Push by Sapphire and many more. first off i would like to give the author an E for effort. the story is is promising but very poorly written!

the audio book is so creepy beyond limits!!!! i don't know why in hell they used a voice that sounded like a 14 year old!!! perhaps its because it felt like a 14 year old wrote it!!! beside the poor writing the author should have done some research before introducing her audience to the act of S&M. i have met many dominant mistresses in my time and have been told that 90% of the time sex is not part of experience but the act of humiliation that is the focus!!! also majority of most submissive are usably successful rich CEO trying to get away from their roll as commander and chief and for once want to be on the other side of the spectrum. DO I MAKE SENSE!!! that would mean that it would not be highly likely that Christian would take that roll!!

now on the other hand i did continue to read on knowing this for humor sake and mite even read the sequel if im in one of those i don't want to think just be entertained. i do in fact think it would be better as a movie and my even see it on netflixs. anyway its been i wile since the production of 9 & 1/2 weeks. why not make a 2012 version for our newer gen X.
