sek73's review against another edition
4.0
I don't understand all the haters out there. The only reason to read this book is because you were captivated by the original series. If you didn't like the original series, why are you wasting time trashing this book?
Anyway, I enjoyed this book but only gave it 4 stars because I'm ticked it only covered the first book. There wasn't much new to discover about Christian even when the original series was written in Ana's voice but I did enjoy getting a better glimpse into his world and his damaged pysche and how wounded he was when Ana left.
I enjoyed the book and hope there are others but I don't enjoy all the EL James bashing. However, bash away because she'll just keep laughing all the way to the bank.

The series is a lot more enjoyable from Christian's perspective. The themes of childhood trauma and moving past it are interesting.
Obviously everything about the relationship is toxic, and the sex scenes are laughably fake. But it's not awful.

Grey perspective
If you are a fan of the series, this take on the tale is interesting and fills in the gaps. His perspective is blunt and bleak. Pretty interesting.

Too similarly written words wise only the thoughts of Christian were the difference, this made it dull and boring.
