it is highly boring and repetitive
How was the characterization of actors?
This is Book is awful. It's not exactly terrible as much as it is highly boring and repetitive. Please see the other critical reviews, as they pretty much sum up my thoughts.  Perhaps a slightly intriguing, if cliche, storyline-- but with the most juvenile, basic writing I have read. Phrases are repeated over and over again dozens of times. If I had to read about "those pants that hung so deliciously from his hips" again, I would have croaked. This goes with the "# shades of grey" phrase, as in 7 shades of &lt;expletive> up, fifty shades of mysterious, shades of grey, shades of whatever..... Someone just finished their high school literature devices cla ss ;-) And the characters are just so flat and ridiculous. Finally, the ending is quick, unresolved, and ridiculous. Perhaps a clever way for the author to extract more cash from you by offering sequels? Terrible!The biggest problem with Kindle and iBooks is that you can neither give the book back nor give it away!  Hard to believe this is a best seller. Do yourself a favor and skip this one!
