We'll publish them on our site once we've reviewed them. Dorian is two dimensional, his anguish is easily dismissed. The rest of the characters are unremarka While I should have known better than to have any expectations of good prose from something that aligns itself with 50 Shades, the fact that Wilde is listed as an author gave me a little bit of hope.
The rest of the characters are unremarkable at best in a strangely misogynistic way - they can either be perfectly virtuous virgins who are eager to please but are shocked by a spanking, or time ravaged whores who grow increasingly unattractive because they approach life like their male counterparts.
Had the quality of language been impressive, I may have forgiven the whole thing - but the fact that the author like so many cannot tell the anatomical difference between the vulva and the vagina made the entire reading process even more irritating. I am sad to have wasted the little time I did reading this, and even more sad that an excellent concept was so poorly realized. Expected the original book with added "shades".
Didn't even get that. Characters were loosely based on characters in the book, I was confused the whole way through. Spector claims this is a collaboration with Wilde. I found this completely insulting after reading. I hated her use of modern prose throughout "ass"?? Regret reading although to be fair to the author, I should have expected less from a fifty shades theme.
Spector has ruined her writing career before it even started Atrocious. Spector has ruined her writing career before it even started. Apr 01, Rich Steeves rated it it was amazing. The classic mash-up genre hits a new high with this steamy, witty version of the Wilde classic.
Spector does more than just drop hot scenes though they are hot into Wilde's text. She puts her own fresh spin on the story of Dorian Gray, folding in layers that echo Fifty Shades and adding clever touches. An enjoyable read, and I look forward to what Spector comes up with next! Jul 18, Sarah rated it really liked it. May 08, Dana Preb rated it did not like it. Disgusting, pointless and definitely not worth reading! Apr 14, For Books' Sake rated it did not like it. It seems to be the offspring of the trend for literary mashups from a few years ago Sense and Sensibility and Sea-Monsters, anyone?
Feb 01, Beth Medved rated it liked it. I had a lot of hope for this book to be fascinating and amazing. While it was very well written, I feel as if the story and main plot point was predictable.
The erotic scenes were well written though I feel that they borrowed from modern language a bit too much. Overall though a funny read that combines two interesting stories. Recommend at least once!
Wilde se revuelve en su tumba. Apr 05, Taryn rated it did not like it. I knew vaguely what I was getting into based on the title, but my curiosity as a Wilde devotee led me to finish it. Hard to imagine the person who would actually like this--and I feel quite sure Oscar wouldn't have either. Jan 20, Amanda Peterson rated it really liked it.
Even though I never have and never will read Fifty Shades of Grey I was pleasantly surprised by this novel as I had the good fortune to read the original book. It had really interesting and detailed erotic moments and I felt really bad for Rosemary, this was an entertaining read. Was a bit long It could have been shorter. VERY graphic sex, but there was a story that kept me interested to see how it ended. Nov 03, Michele rated it did not like it. Sep 17, Kandre marked it as to-read. I wanna know how i can read this book Cause there are somes books that i cant read, its not free??
I'm not sure while at the same time combining one of my favorite novels in a satirically ridiculous way.
