As a fan of FSOG I have to say 13% in and I could not continue. It was a complete recap of FSOG and if I wanted that I could have done a re-read. Written in sentence fragments, she disappointed me with this one. Refund requested!

Oh, my, how I've wanted this book.
And despite all the negativity I've seen directed at the book, it was everything I'd hoped it would be.
I loved it! Every bit of it.

I loved how Ms. James threw us curve balls, making us see things he did in a different light. Like with the Tess books. We all assumed he did something sweet and bought them for her.

Looking forward to the rest of the seri ...more

So tons of people are bashing this book and I loved it. We all wanted his POV but then you hate it. SMH anyways yes the first 15 was tough to read and made me want to stop. I thought to myself; I wanted this and so I kept on and thank god I did. After 15% it became wonderful. Then at 57% it became a book I was loving. I ended up loving this book. Makes me want to read darker now.
