It's got to get better right?

baronessekatTo satisfy my morbid sense of curiosity, I checked the audio version of "50 Shades of Gray" from the library. I wanted to see what the big deal is.
I'm only into chapter 3 and I'm wondering how in the world people thought this was good. It's first person present tense to start with. And every 5 minutes we get to hear about how beautiful Christian Gray is and how sensual his mouth is, how dexterous his fingers are and how enigmatic his eyes are.
It may also be the reader. She sounds constantly like she's whining or about to cry or both. She's supposed to be a senior in college and she sounds more like a 13 year old trying to cope with a boy asking her to a semi formal dance. She blushes at the drop of a hat, more when she interacts with Christian.
We haven't even got to the "smut" part of the book and I'm already completely bored. So far I totally agree with the sign:
At least I got the audio version so that I can do things while listening to it so that the time it not toally wasted. Cuz that would be time I could use for more interesting things like cleaning the cat box.
EDIT Oh dear lord. She just uttered the phrase "Desire, that's what this is. This is what desire feels like." She is flipping 13! and then she just said "For the first time in my life I want to go to bed with a man." WTF.
She drunk called him and he came to help her get to safety and now she sees him as Lancelot or Gawain or some Knight in a medieval tale.
The NRE is sickening.
It's hard not to MST this tale.
