I love the E.L. James Fifty Shades of Grey series and was so excited to get this one with Grey's incite. But I think I must have build it up to high in my mind, for when I read the book, I felt a little let down. I thought I would be seeing more of Christian Grey struggles with fighting his attraction to Anastasia Steele. I also thought that this book would cover all the previous books so that we would not have to have a series of the "Grey" books. But that was not the case. The book ended a lit ...more

Yes, I have read, "Grey," by E. L. James. You ask why?? There has been so much said, read, and commented about, I like others, am interested. As you may go through my other titles read, there is quite a few examples of Erotica Romance, Fantasy to Realistic, and by far, there are a lot of Authors that write fantastic stories to feed upon, like,( Joey W. Hill.) When it comes down to the "rubber" meeting the road, most of the fantastic Erotic Authors do not find their works in a library; for one re ...more

Beginning this book, I knew exactly what I was getting into. Part of the reason that I wanted to read this book was to know what it would be like to be inside Christian's head (it was kind of interesting experience) and to see the world of the novel through his eyes.

Part of the reason that I wanted to read this book was to know what it would be like to be inside Christian's head (it was kind of interesting experience) and to see the world of the novel through his eyes.

I am going to admit that it was quite entertaining to be inside Christian's head, as there really is a lot that is going on in there. Some things were a little bit surprising, but having read Fifty Shades of Grey first, it kind of makes a little more sense. I must admit that while I was reading this book, I half expected there to be an "Inner Goddess", and I was partially right. Christian really does seem to favour a certain part of his male anatomy, and it is very clear through some of his inner dialogue.

Another positive that this book had was that it allowed reads to perceive Ana in a very different way. Through her eyes she was showing reads a very self-deprecating character who really didn't think too highly over herself. Seeing here through Christian's eye's though, it completely changes and it is very obvious to see how much he does care for her. As well, I was also looking forward to seeing where he went some nights, or what he was thinking himself, rather than having Ana gauge his reactions, and a lot of times, it seemed as though she was off and made him sound so much harsher than he actually was.

With that being said, there are a few things that I did have issues with. One thing that I noticed was there EL James really likes to repeat a lot of phrases, and metaphors. Christian, while talking about Ana, seems to repeat a lot of very similar feelings to himself, over and over. Mid-way through the book I was slowly starting to get a bit peeved at it, and I just wanted him to tell her what he was thinking. It was a bit lack-luster in that sense. Even the writing in some places seemed very generic, and almost rushed. After putting out FSOG, while still keeping through to the story.

Overall, it wasn't my favourite read, nor would it be placed in a top 10, but it wasn't terrible. If she does put out the other two novels from Christian's POV, I will read them, because I'm hooked enough in the story, that I want to know what he is thinking about certain events unfold for him. If you were a fan of the FSOG series, then I would definitely recommend picking this up and giving it a read.

I honestly think that I may have liked Grey's version better than Anastasia's.

Those last couple of lines just gutted me.

As much as I LOVED this book, I have always needed Christian's perspective of Fifty Shades Darker even more. Please continue these! ...more
