I'm not going to lie, I expected this to be longer... I hadn't seen a real issue (other than, of course, the entire book...) so I thought that it was all build-up for the climax that... never came? Well, I mean, it came but it didn't come... Oh, that's wrong, too. Fuck it. You know what I mean. AND she called it "the bowels" of the basement... I think that's where this book belongs. ;_;

SINCE YOU LADIES SURVIVED... should we expect to be hearing about the sequels to this in the near future?

Please don't think you're going to disappoint me if you say, "FUCK NO" really loud over and over.

In a way it surprised me too that the ending came now. I mean, it's been ungodly long, but plotwise it makes no sense. This all feels like build up for future plot things and could probably have been written in like 100 pages max? I'm pretty sure this must be closer to 500, though I'm not sure.

I think we'll be doing the sequels, actually. I'm 90% we'll be doing them. But we need a slight break, so we'll be doing at least one book inbetween I think. XD

We will be doing the sequels, but yes, there will definitely be a palate cleanser (so to speak) before we subject ourselves to this again.

Well, she realised it for all the wrong reasons imo XD And I wouldn't count on it lasting for very long since there are two more books XDD

So wait, what actually happened in this book aside from a lot of awkward and uncomfortable sex scenes? I don't understaaaaand! D:

Aaaaabsolutely nothing XD

And like we kind of brought up in the review: the remarkable thing is how they never talk about anything that isn't sex or how much they want each other or whatever. I would be bored to tears in that relationship. And whenever EL James has to write any sort of dialogue that is supposed to be sort of day to day talking, it's ridiculously stilted and weird.

It may seem like we've cut out a lot of talking that isn't related to the contract or their flirting, but we really haven't. There really is next to nothing of it.

And no, nothing happens either XD NOTHING. nothing. nooothiiing

Haha, I totally believe you that the whole book is just contract+sex. But now I have a really hard time figuring out how this book is a bestseller when it's all just 600 pages of poorly-written erotica. Are THAT many people out there who enjoy this shit? Because that's just sad.

And, judging from your quotes, i thought that even the dirty-talk stuff was weird! I can't imagine what the "normal" dialogue was like. D:

... I wanna know what your next project is!

LOL I think everyone reading your accounts of this could've sworn you were like only halfway through. What is the poooooooint of this if there is no proper storytelling. God knows my writing might be the same, I don't know, but this just feels like an endless narrative of nothingness.

I'm very excited for your next project, whatever it may be. (Throw a film in between as a quickie?)

HAha right? I mean, I've been looking at the scrolly bar and even for me this didn't feel like a natural stopping point. And as Maya pointed out, it probably wasn't, cause she's probably just cut the fanfic in arbitrary places.

And it does really feel like a narrative of nothingness. XD

We might test out a film just to see if we can manage to find a format for it! but we have a book lined up too. I think it's shorter than Modelland and 50 Shades, though, so it'll probably be a quicker thing.

Well first of all congratulations on surviving this! I think you should get a metal or something for it!

Considering the last chapters...I would've kicked the guy in the balls or something if I'd be woken at that time. Seriously my sleep is more important than any dawn.

That belt hitting scene is creppier then anything before you gave us...the last straw for normal people to finally get out of there...which she does and for a second I was like 'OMG she is not so stupid after all' but she gets all cry baby about leaving him (LOL btw for that The Room scene^^) and basically does the Bella and curls up like she is going to be ripped to pieces now because she can't be with him.

I was waiting for some sort of plot or twist or whatever, but I guess it won't happen in any of the books, it's just weird stilted conversations to break up the boring sex that fill the books.

Again kudos to you for making it through the whole thing. I'm pretty sure I couldn't have done it.

You have every right to be proud!

METAPHYSICAL PAIN? What on earth is that? I bet the author heard the word and thought it goes nice with pain Oo

I can see them waving and with big sign 'It's me, the plot twist'XD
