I heard quite a few people comment that they didn't like the book. It's a good thing I never listen to others and always read the book. I know that everyone has different tastes in things that is why we have so many different genres. I loved loved loved this book. It did exactly what the Author intended it to do that was to let her readers see things through Christian Grey view. I learned quite a bit more about him and you can see why he is Fifty Shades of Grey. This book made me judge Mrs. Robi ...more

Ms. James stated that she wrote this book for the readers who "asked and asked and asked" for her to write Christian's POV. I was one of those readers who desperately wanted this book and was thrilled when she announced the release. In addition, I was one of the fortunate 500 that was able to get a copy of Grey signed by Erika James at The Bookworm Box Bookstore in Texas. I wasn't able to finish reading the book until after the signing, even though I had started it before I went.

In addition, I was one of the fortunate 500 that was able to get a copy of Grey signed by Erika James at The Bookworm Box Bookstore in Texas. I wasn't able to finish reading the book until after the signing, even though I had started it before I went. The weekend that I was there, I kept reading reviews of people saying how much they disliked the book. I admit I was slightly concerned as I had not read far into the book. I should have known now to worry about that...I loved the book!

Let me just say that is was very enlightening to get inside of Christian Grey's head. Throughout my reading (multiple times) of the first three books, I had ideas of how Christian seemed to feel but to actually read his thoughts and feelings was wonderful. It was interesting how he couldn't seem to even consider anything other than a dom/sub relationship even though he was living a regular relationship with Ana. Because he knew nothing else and had never experience any other way, he just couldn't seem to grasp that he was already changing for her. Not only changing but enjoying the change. It was also interesting that he was having the same concerns about her not wanting him that she had about him not wanting her. Even though those things were implied throughout the three books from Ana's POV, it was very interesting to actually read it and know that he felt that way. It was also interesting to read the times that he was not with Ana and to know what he was doing during those times.

The Fifty Shades books and Grey may not be the most literary of books, but they are interesting and for me have been great reads. Fifty Shades of Grey brought me back to reading, so I owe a lot to that book and Ms. James. I hope that she will write the remaining books from Christian's POV. I will definitly be purchasing if she does. Five stars to Ms. James and Grey. Thanks for bringing Christian to us! ...more

I finally got round to diving into this book and I was presently surprised on how much I was addicted to it ....

I love a story told in a male POV so finally getting inside the one and only Mr Grey's head was something else .....

I loved every word of it and couldn't but it down ..... it was like reliving the first book all over again..... Mr Grey is one kinky b*!tard ......

This book is a must read for all grey fans .... I had held off on it because i'm not a fan of same story different POV book ...more
