Grey: Fifty Shades of Grey as Told by Christian

you know what? I wish we had gotten fifty shades PC grey written this way, getting Christian's point of view. at least he said things by their name. he wanted to fuck her. he tried for more. it didn't work. he tried again. he didn't get how she thought.

of course I know that this book comes as an attempt to show that the story is romantic and deep. I don't buy it because I read the first book. I am just saying I prefer this version, mostly because it saves me from entering Ana's head. I had a continuous feeling that Grey described a different woman all the time but he likes her and I don't.
I still like Katie the most.
I would have liked to see some more depth while developing Christian's character but let's not ask for much. oh and by the way I still believe Ana is an idiot for all the reasons mentioned in my review of the first book.

ok so maybe im biased while reading this. But there are just too many bad talks about this book that it kinda got into me.

1) Where in fsog Ana has her inner goddess speaking, here in Grey, Christian has his own monologue as well. And honest to God, i dont like being in Grey's mind at all. It's rude and disturbing. I'm gonna admit here that before Grey happens, I really really really love Christian Grey. I was obsessed about him for like a month. But now ? I dont even know anymore

2) Nothing significant happens in this book. Its merely Fifty Shades of Grey #1 with Christian's POV. and okay maybe a few insights but meh, not THAT interesting.

3) There areTOO MANY simple action/useless things written that i think is completely unnecessary.

Over all, I dont think this book should happen, at all.

Wasn't wowed by this one. Was fun to see his side of things and what he was doing but wasn't as good at the others.

Late to the game on reading this book that focused on Christian’s point of view, I actually appreciated the book more than I thought i would. It gives new depth to the original series and I will read the second.
