Sex sells: Fifty Shades of Gray sparks heated exchanges

Well, well, well!
It appears that many readers across the globe are talking about E.L. James' novel, Fifty Shades of Grey, which is part of a trilogy that have become a best-seller and a hot subject of discussion.
In Kenya, the book continues to raise steamy debate. Women talk about it in lifts, with the drift of the argument being that it is a book for women. Really? I thought the main - and dominant - character is a man! Or am I missing something?
Oh!, so now there are books for women? What if a man was to write a racy book and say, well, for argument's sake, that it is only meant for men? Would that not rub someone the wrong way (no pun intended)?
Two writers from the Business Daily, had a go at the book. Their thoughts are published here.
