This is a parody of Fifty Shades of Grey and was written in 2013. It is a small novelty book intended for times when you wish to give a small present or stocking filler. It is full of innuendo and reads like a script for a stand up comedian. This is a small coffee table book with pictures on every other page. The volume of text is very low and is really a short story that takes around 40 minutes to read. It is all dressed up to look like a full length novel rather than the short story in a picture book it really is.
The humour is there and it is an amusing parody. This is not a brilliant read, it does not really entertain but simply amuses the reader. It is like watching a second rate comedian, you sit through it hoping it will improve. Sadly Fifty Sheds Damper does not get any better from the start. It is just a collection of brief, funny little jokes. To give you a taste, I will quote the best two jokes in the whole book. The writing does not get any better than this.
Our first session wasn't a great success. I asked her to come as Miss Whiplash so she turned up with a neck brace and a solicitor.
'I've been a very naughty girl,' she said, licking her lips. 'I need to be punished.' So I bought her the Daniel O'Donnell Christmas album.
Fifty Sheds Damper is a poor read and is just a novelty gift. Expect to see it on offer very cheaply in Pound shops. It is a simple rip off, trading on the success of Fifty Shades of Grey and I can only vote it 2 stars. I suggest you give this little book the Miss and give someone a better small gift like a pair of socks.
