The Handmaid's Tale
Fifty Shades Darker
- "Purple and smeared with yogurt", well it's good that I don't like yogurt anyway
- I know that Margaret Atwood is a funny woman, but I didn't expect the book to be so humourous. Since most of the sci-fi that I've read has been from the fifties or before, wasn't expecting references to Scrabble and Weight Watchers. I love this book.
- Pen envy
- It was clever of her to put the butter chapter before the ceremony chapter. It never explains whether or not lubrication is used during the ceremony, so I was all "uuuuugh".
- I really love that Offreds relationship with Moira is so detailed.
- I haven't seen the movie, but I'm guessing that it doesn't have the humour that the book does. I was a little wary of reading the book, knowing that it would be bleak. It is, but the funny moments help and make the narrator more believable. We do sometimes think funny things when horrible things are happening to us. It's like a coping mechanism.
Fifty Shades Darker
- Ana says that Christian is so "refined and sophisticated", but he says "Laters, baby" in like every chapter!
- Christian is a Sheryl Crow fan.
- Dr. Flynn and Dr. Greene are both so unprofessional!
- So rude of Elena to be making threats. Ana can't hurt Christian as much as he's hurting her. Even if she got a restraining order, he'd still be after her. Of course she wouldn't do that, because she's so in love with his dick.
- Anas speech to Elena was pretty good though, I wish she would get like that with Christian.
- Christians all like "You shouldn't hang out with Jose because he tried to take advantage of you" but wont hear it when Ana calls Elena a child molester.
- Ana's low self esteem is really annoying. I've got low self esteem, but I would never be that self-deprecating when a billion people are all like "OMG YOU SO PRETTY". That said, a person shouldn't get all their self esteem from other people calling them pretty. I'm trying to be more vain, it's better than hating myself.
- Taylors security team includes a Ryan and a Reynolds, lol.
- Christians all like "You have to trust me and TELL ME EVERY DETAIL OF YOUR LIFE" and then is "I don't want to talk about my fucked upness". Trusting someone isn't just about telling them EVERYTHING and vise versa, it's about letting them have privacy and knowing they will tell you when they are ready. They don't owe you their innermost thoughts.
- Getting really tired of Christians use of the phrase "crack whore".
