So I am definitely not the target audience for a book like this, or just about any book of the romance genre. I did not know these books even existed. I would have probably have ignored this thread, but it would seem that this book has now become controversial in the sense of should public libraries even purchase it, or remove it from shelves once purchased? A Wisconsin Public Radio program on that subject. I gather that the real controversy is not about it having explicit sexual content, libraries stock romance novels with that all the time. It is not about poor quality writing, if so why would any library system purchased so many copies of the Twilight series? It seems to be that the sex involves S&M, and in particular male domination of a woman. If this controversy expands I suppose sales will really boom.
