In Christian’s own words, and through his thoughts, reflections, and dreams, E L James offers a fresh perspective on the love story that has enthralled millions of readers around the world.
Christian Grey exercises control in all things; his world is neat, disciplined, and utterly empty – until the day that Anastasia Steele falls into his office in a tangle of shapely limbs and tumbling brown hair.
He tries to forget her but instead is swept up in a storm of emotion he cannot comprehend and cannot resist. Unlike any woman he has known before, shy, unworldly Ana seems to see right through him – past the business prodigy and the penthouse lifestyle to Christian’s cold, wounded heart.
Will being with Ana dispel the horrors of his childhood that haunt Christian every night? Or will his dark sexual desires, his compulsion to control, and the self-loathing that fills his soul drive this girl away and destroy the fragile hope she offers him?
Just plain bad. I couldn’t make it through. The first three books were a decent story that covered fairly horrendous writing. Now that I know the story, all I see is the writing. Ms. James says this was for the fans, but if it were, she should have just given it away in between bathing in hundred dollar bills, instead of continuing to collect her millions. At the very least, she could have hired a decent editor.Â
Makes Christian seem half-witted And so, here it is. The new doorstopper of a book by E.L. James, meant to give us insight into Christian Grey’s thoughts. And boy, does it ever do that. Way, way too much.Â
4.5 stars Let me start off first by saying I looked forward to this book once it was announced. I am giving it only 4.5 stars because I was disappointed that it didn’t cover all the books.Â
