As someone who hasn't read anything remotely 50 Shades-ish, I wondered if this would mean anything to me. But I found it very easy to pick up on the satirical side while still enjoying a very funny tale.The basic premise is the Red Riding Hood story told as if it were modern erotica - or at least, that's what the titular character wishes it was! Her efforts to ensnare the Big Bad Wolf in her fantasies had me properly laughing aloud. There's a surprising amount of word-gems to be enjoyed. 'Lady juice cocktail', 'statistically useful sample size' and 'rhythmic thrashing, slamming and pounding' all gave me the giggles.This works as a stand-alone read as well as a parody. Good fun.
