Sensual
Grey is Anastasia and Christian's story, told from Christian's point of view. Though more crude than Anastasia's version, it is also more sensual. It is a deep look into a tortured soul. Even if you have read the Fifty Shades trilogy, Grey is worth a read. Though the story is the same, it is different, too.

Christian’s version is much better written than the original.

It was just as good as fifty shades of grey. Glad it was in Christian words though as now you understand everything that he feels.
You can see him change on how he works with women and why he is falling for Ana. It is like twilight version of Edward which never appeared but this is so much better.

When the original trilogy came out I was in love with it. Granted, I was a big Twilight fan and the inspirations from it being originally a fanfic were truly appreciated in my case, even more because I could imagine the "new characters" in the role as much as Meyer counterparts.
I was also a teenager with raging hormones, I think I was 16 or 17 when I read it, I don't even know how I got my parents to allow me to read it honestly. Anyways, I liked the premise of it, the door to BDSM and sex discovery in general and I shamefully admit that a controlling/posessive MMC was really intriguing to my teen self, but THEN years later this book was published and I figured, why not try it out and complete the series with Christian's POV?
Boy was I wrong, I genuinely DESPISED the dynamic between them, found him unappealing and her so submissive it was infuriating. Besides, the writing style felt so boring and anticlimactic, I remember rolling my eyes every 2 pages and finding it so hard to finish it. Rest assured, I won't be picking up the next two books.
Moral of the story, if you read the first books when they were trending and liked them, but in recent years found yourself reading another kind of books, MAYBE don't ruin that experience revisiting the story. But if you read them recently and found it riveting, you could enjoy Grey's POV, I personally love multiple-pov books and nowadays grow more towards those as I feel more involved on the world built in the pages that way.
