This is very true, I grew up with Harry Potter and so I've always had a bit of a soft spot for the books and movies. If it is like you say, not a re-write and expands on things we haven't been told before with backstory I'd be very happy to buy the book. But as far as Grey goes and reading comments on here I think I'll give that a miss.magicnumber69 wrote:

Nope, barely hit chapter three before the "my inner goddess stuff" started to irratate me, its a lot more poorly written than I remember and going off the LH reviews on Grey so far, the typos and how its written again would bug me.
I kinda agree with the cashing in on things.. where does it end though? books.. film.. inspired sex toy range. Kinda ridiculous, but look how far J.K Rowling is going now with her "new Harry Potter details/backstory on the Potters*.
Mh, I'm not a big reader of erotic fiction, but my OH loved fsog and I thought I'd take a look at the first book to see what the fuss was about; not withstanding the god-awful characterisation and dopey dialogue, the grammar and spelling errors made it practically unreadable! Did the book even pass under the nose of an editor or proofreader?!
You have a point about JKR, but at least she's expanding on her 'universe' by telling an untold story and hopefully, like the Potter series, there'll be characters that you at least care a bit about and see some development throughout. Yes, she may be milking it a bit, but at least her series has a trace of originality, interest and development. Nor will every other paragraph be littered with spelling and grammatical errors!
I hated the original three books but still got the audiobook of Grey, have to admit it wasn't as bad when told from his perspective..
I read the first three... I loved them 😊
I got this on kindle read first4 1/2 maybe 5 chapters and stopped...
