Editor reviews

The Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy series written by E. L. James spent a record 50 weeks on the international best-sellers lists and is now a major Universal Pictures film starring Dakota Johnson. This unabridged audiobook flits between erotica and romance and has been enticingly narrated by American actress Becca Battoe. These books were a phenomenon that swept over the world in a colossal tidal wave, leaving millions of fanatical women breathless, flushed and addicted beyond measure. It is a heart-pounding, compulsively good listen not to be missed. Available now from Audible.

Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

More than 100 million copies sold worldwide.

When literature student Anastasia Steele interviews successful entrepreneur Christian Grey, she finds him very attractive and deeply intimidating. Convinced that their meeting went badly, she tries to put him out of her mind – until he turns up at the store where she works part-time and invites her out.

Unworldly and innocent, Ana is shocked to find she wants this man. And, when he warns her to keep her distance, it only makes her want him more.

As they embark on a passionate love affair, Ana discovers more about her own desires, as well as the dark secrets Christian keeps hidden away from public view....

stick with it

i felt it was a slow starter, when it picked up pace was a great story line, even for an erotic novel felt there was too many sex scences, distracted from the excellent story line

wrong voice

First time ever that I think: This voice and reading is sooo wrong... - How is that possible?

Read all three books, not a strong story or well finished characters. Many reprtitions etc. BUT still interesting.

Might not buy other two books because of voice.

Lots of rave but not really worth it.

Truly sorry to have to say this but I didn't complete the book - albeit that I purchased the trilogy. I found this to be a boring story line, I think this was a compulsive buy as I wanted to know what the rave was about. Sorry I did.
