Book review: Military thriller 'fifty shades of green' hits Bestseller lists Worldwide

The newest hit novel to sweep the world off its feet, Fifty Shades of Green, is a book that defies categorization. Billed by many as erotic fiction, by others as a thriller/suspense, and by some as petty novice work, the book no doubt still has fans aching for more.

Set in present day Texas, the tale tells the story of Billy Bob Carter, a recent high school graduate who meets a smooth talking man in a fancy, pressed military uniform. After a series of intimidation, fast food meals, trips to the mall, and promises of shooting guns, cheap hookers, and glory, Billy is bamboozled into signing a contract that literally gives his life over to the whims of the man’s shadowy organization, known only as “the Marine Corps."

Billy soon finds himself on a plane, where he awaits three months of brainwashing hell on a deserted, swamp-infested island.

But that’s not all.
