Review: Interesting but I don't think I'll read the next one...

I'm not a huge fan of regular erotica. I really enjoy romantic erotic though. I personally need the romantic connection to stay interested, otherwise the non stop sex gets a bit dull. I dunno... I guess I'm just weird like that.Fifty shades of Alice isn't romantic in the least. That's why I bypassed it when it was at full price. It did make me a bit curious and the cover was downright hilarious. However, I wasn't going to pay for something I was certain I wasn't going to like very much. Last night I saw that it was being offered for free, so I went ahead and downloaded it.I'm actually surprised that I didn't totally hate it. While I'm not crazy about it, it did manage to keep me reading and actually made me laugh a few times. It did get a bit dull at times, most books like this do tend to bore me, and I completely agree with the reviewer that said that this was written more as a male fantasy than something a woman would be into.However, I was a little surprised that I managed to get through the whole thing without calling it quits. I usually end up setting down, or deleting, books like this pretty early on. It was the tongue in cheek humor and that the book pretty much made fun of itself throughout the whole thing, that made it palatable for me.While I won't be reading the next one, I need a bit more than scene after scene of mindless sex to keep me interested, I am a bit pleasantly surprised this wasn't down right awful.
