I had a co-worker recently asked me to convert it from mobi to epub - she is pretty challenged when it comes to ebook management - and I did. In the process, I took a look - read the first couple of pages of the first book. My expectations were low, but this... it seriously makes me reconsider my general stance of 'at least they are reading something'. Maybe illiteracy has its advantages.

Darn, I sound terribly elitist, looking at what I just wrote. But, seriously, nothing like the success of a book like this to remind you that you are, at the very least, better read, educated, and probably smarter than the median

The disappointing thing is that such cheap thrills are nothing new - but the cheap thrills are here repackaged in a new literary low. The grammar - or lack of - the vocabulary, the sentence structure, the lack of flow, the repetition... it is just terribly written. Why not read DeSade instead?
