I just finished Knight by Kristen Ashley which was said to be like 50 Shades. Now there's a book I wasted money on. It is the worse book I have read and I thought 50 Shades was bad. This one the writing is so bad you will have no clue what the hero is saying. It's like he is a Sim and talking Simish to me. The dialogue is mostly I guess supposedly street talk but it came across to me as gibberish. I wont be buying anymore indie books because this book is the perfect example why we need professional editing. After reading Knight, 50 Shades actually looks really good to me.  |
now the phrase "a book like 50 Shades" may come to mean that it's a terrible book
besides a lack of editing, one of my pet peeves are authors who write stories that are around 100 pages or less that are series, then they break up each "part" and charge $3.99 for each. pft. i recently borrowed a series like that...and the writing was horrible; cliche, lack of editing, just...*shakes head* when i run into books like that, i just know the author was in it JUST for the money. it's like they're making fools out of the readers.
