"Fifty Shades of Grey" online Quiz - Time to Separate the Pretenders From the Contenders

The Romance Shop in Courtenay BC, Blogs, Newspapers, Magazines, TV and radio chat shows 

 etc. etc. have covered the viral novel"Fifty Shades of Grey."  Everyone else has voiced an opinion. Everyone!  (Even me!) And there's the rub. I am thinking that many of those "Opinionistas" have entered these discussions without actually having read the book.  So, I have put together this short but effective online quiz to separate the pretenders from the contenders.  Let me know how you did!
 BTW  John, my patient, loving husband, scored one hundred percent! 

Multiple Choice: Circle the best answer.

c)  Taylor (See question 5)
d) All of the above.
