I can't see it working if he write it in the same way he did "First Law". Frankly, it would be interesting to see if he can pull it off.Ghosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05160118520611754510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-12732570493998529662013-07-20T20:40:17.220+00:002013-07-20T20:40:17.220+00:00Very interesting insight, Anon.

A YA book with very frank and explicit depictions of language, violence, alcohol and drug abuse, and is loaded with heavy, adult themes.<br /><br />Come back when you have a credible response.<br /><br />Oh, and by the way, Fifty Shades Of Gray isn't even considered YA. you were right about the 'crap' part, but that was about it.
