*sigh* I tried.

Really hard.

I wanted to read the books and talk about what I really thought of them based on the literary and social merits of the story.

So I tried.

And I failed.

I just can't do it. I'm sorry. I can't read Fifty Shades. Not only do I object to the content, but I can't get past the writing.

So to all those who said I can't have an opinion if I haven't read the books, know that I tried, and my opinion is only reinforced. I hate it.
