Grey: Fifty Shades of Grey as Told by Christian by E.L. James
5.0
I was pretty excited for this book, to say the least. No judging! I read 50 Shades of Grey and the entire series. I really enjoyed the series even if it was a bit raunchy at times, to say the least. So I was pretty thrilled when EL James released a book from the point of view of Christian.
It follows the plot line of 50 Shades and a just a little bit after. For those that haven't read the books, I'll give a brief little overview. Christian is a multi billionaire control freak with a freaky side, to put it mildly. He meets Ana, who is a college student, through an interview. He wants her and she wants him, quite simply. What ensues is a journey of finding themselves and figuring out how to make their relationship work.
I had no idea Christian was so twisted. Okay, I had a little bit of an idea. But I really had no possibly idea that he was so dark. His inner monologue is very graphic. He holds nothing back. Literally. He describes Ana and the things we wants to do her very graphically. I also felt so bad for Christian. You get bits and pieces of his childhood from what he remembers and the nightmares he had.
It was nice to finally know what Christian was thinking when Ana did the things she did or said the things she said. In 50 Shades I was often wondered what Christian was thinking, since it was in first person. All I knew was what Ana knew. So often, she was very wrong about Christian.
It was also cool to see how Christian reacted when Ana left . Again, you only know what Ana did and how she reacted. You only get a glimpse of what Christian could even possibly be thinking.
I feel like you could probably get away with reading this book first, if you so chose. I read this book after I read the first three. It's up to you. You won't miss anything by reading this book first, just as you won't miss anything by reading this book last. Hell, you could probably read it after you read the first book. I have no complaints about this book and how it was done.
Upon doing a bit of research, I found out there is very likely going to be a Christian POV to 50 Shades Darker. Yay!
