A Parody

Fifty Shames of Earl Grey

Inspired by the overnight million-copy bestseller 50 Shades of Grey comes Fanny Merkin’s shrewd, laugh-out-loud funny and romantic parody Fifty Shames of Earl Grey. Young, rich, and handsome tycoon Earl Grey has a dirty secret. He brings Anna, a naïve college student, past the tacky waterbed, strobe light, and blacklight posters inside his ‘Room of Doom’, into his twisted world of, well, mostly naughty dialogue and light spanking. Anna is enthralled – after all, he’s rich, and he has a habit of buying every company she’s ever worked for (including Walmart) in an attempt to get close to her. But on the flipside, he’s a moody bastard whose fifty shames constantly threaten to overwhelm her. Can Earl Grey and Anna ever have a normal life together? Or will his dark desires and constant smirking drive her over the edge?

This is the funniest book I have ever read in my entire life. I laughed out loud on almost every single page. I laughed so hard my kids kept asking if I was okay. I read and enjoyed the Fifty Shades books, but didn't realize how badly they were written until I read this one. Merkin writes, "She gazed into his gazing eyes gazingly, like a gazelle" or something silly like that. It was just a very fun, funny book to read.

This book did exactly what it was supposed to do....it made me LAUGH!!!! In fact, it made me laugh so much that I insisted on sharing it with my fellow employees during breaks where we laughed until we had tears in our eyes! Such utter ridiculousness.....I loved it!

The only reason I gave Fifty Shames 4 stars instead of 5 was that I felt the first half of the book was far funnier that the last half.

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys silly, "dumb" humour and has no issues with bladder control! 

Enjoy!

Hilarious! I actually read it on the plane to see my friend in Norway and I pretty much finished it all on there. People were looking at me weird because I was laughing to myself because it was that funny. I’m going to be lending it to a friend tomorrow
