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.

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.

Okey, I really liked this book because it shows a new perspective of the story between Ana and Christian. Now it actually makes sense of what he feels every time somebody wants to touch him. The only thing I didn't like was the so many cuss words in the book. Maybe it was because the English version of them is so hard to read or maybe my mum doesn't like me to say them. Anyways, I really liked it.
Okey, me gustó mucho este libro, ya que muestra una nueva perspectiva de la historia entre Ana y Christian . Ahora realmente tiene sentido lo que él siente cada vez que alguien quiere tocarlo. La única cosa que no me gustó fueron las tantas malas palabras en el libro. Tal vez fue porque la versión en Inglés de ellos es tan difícil de leer o tal vez mi madre no quiere que las diga. De todas formas, me ha gustado mucho .
