It states what the reviewer liked, didn’t like, and gives examples. Once I’d settled into the style, there were a few laugh out loud moments - most of these occurring when the actual Fifty Shades characters were sliced into the story line. I found the story started smack bang in the middle of all the action and it was a bit daunting working out who everyone was and even who was talking at any given time since there is a lot of talking brackets and not so many ‘Bea said’ and ’ Mormon said’ etc. I love a good parody - and parts of this are actually funny. What was this horrible review, the one that leaves this woman liable to destruction by Phil Torcivia’s “social media army”? I hope she learns that her bad behavior must cease.

This is a fellow who fantasizes about committing murder: His thesis is, “When you forgive, you encourage bad behavior.” So, therefore, by his lights I shouldn’t forgive him for his bad behavior. Why not call out trolling-bullying-when I see it?

Abi’s Parhelia: This is what online harassment looks like.

PNH’s Sidelight: Why “don’t feed the trolls” isn’t good enough.

TNH’s Particle: Why I Will Feed the Trolls if I Damn Well Want To.

Well, you’ve seen the various particles and sidelights and parahelia: They’re all visible in the sidebar right this minute. This is just more Internet Drama, all forgotten by tomorrow. So why am I writing about this? I’d never heard of any of the people involved before yesterday. He blogs that he plans to write a revenge review.
