The popularity has increased with the advent of ebooks. Why the rise in popularity? Several reasons. Once considered written porn, the genre of erotic fiction is fast becoming main-stream adult literature. Once the domain of men, women writers (usually under author pseudonyms or initials only) are pushing the envelope of erotic fiction. I will not address quality, as many other books I have read and reviewed, have been of a much poorer quality than this particular series, and yet the storylines have been interesting.Įrotic Adult Fiction: Erotic adult fiction is now a female driven genre both as a reader and an author. Many reviewers opposed to the storyline content have attacked the quality of the writing comparing it to fan fiction and drivel. Descriptions from erotica, erotic romance, soft to hard core porn and BDSM have been used to categorize the genre, but in my opinion, the truth may very well lie somewhere in between or in a combination of descriptive titles and subjects.
Maybe I should read the books and see what all the fuss is about? So $30 and 3 nights later, I had completed the trilogy and now I offer my opinion-because yes-everything I have read about the series is strictly an opinion based on personal views. But a couple of emails from a marketing director, and an agent (requesting my thoughts) brought me up short. But I must say that without a doubt, the media hype and categorization of the trilogy as ‘mommy porn’ is what brought these books to the forefront of reader curiosity and at the time, I hadn’t thought about reading any or all of the books. I had planned to write a review based on the storyline, but I think I shall divert down a different path. At this point, the reviews are numerous, merciless, angry and seductive. Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed make up the trilogy written by E L James.
