Editor reviews

The love story of Christian and Ana is uncovered in the much-anticipated new release audiobook, Grey, written by international best-selling author of the Fifty Shades series, E. L. James and narrated by Zachary Webber. Ana came into his life unexpectedly but from the moment she did, he knew it had changed forever. She drove him to the depths of a dark, intense desire. There was so much he wanted to tell her about his past, who he really was. Would she run if she knew the truth? Hear it all through the eyes of Christian Grey. Available now from Audible.

Summary

In Christian’s own words, and through his thoughts, reflections, and dreams, E L James offers a fresh perspective on the love story that has enthralled millions of readers around the world.

Christian Grey exercises control in all things; his world is neat, disciplined, and utterly empty - until the day that Anastasia Steele falls into his office in a tangle of shapely limbs and tumbling brown hair.

He tries to forget her but instead is swept up in a storm of emotion he cannot comprehend and cannot resist. Unlike any woman he has known before, shy, unworldly Ana seems to see right through him - past the business prodigy and the penthouse lifestyle to Christian’s cold, wounded heart.

Will being with Ana dispel the horrors of his childhood that haunt Christian every night? Or will his dark sexual desires, his compulsion to control, and the self-loathing that fills his soul drive this girl away and destroy the fragile hope she offers him?

Exactly the same

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

I was really looking forward to this book, I was very disappointed. It was the same story. I would not recommend wasting you money on this book if you have already read fifty shades. Wish I hadn't bought it :-(

Has Grey put you off other books in this genre?

Yes I will not buy another book from grey..... I love the original and will stick with that.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

He was not my Mr grey

You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Unfortunately not for me. I kept thinking "it'll get better" it didn't .

Any additional comments?

Would not recommend

Much better than the original 50 shades

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

If you've read 50 shades this gives you a look into the character and formative years of Christian. The story is still weak and repetetive but it does provide provide a context for the darkness in Christian's character. A good addition to the successful trilogy.

Was this written in a weekend?

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Yes, in the fact that having read the others I really wanted to hear more and would have always wondered.

Has Grey put you off other books in this genre?

Not at all. The genre is fine, it was the cheap repetitiveness that was almost offensive. It was literally what Anastasia had said in the other books with a mans voice. I couldn't quite believe it. Shockingly poor attempt of a book.

What about Zachary Webber’s performance did you like?

Lovely voice, just as I had imagined Grey to sound. Felt the feelings really come through.

Was Grey worth the listening time?

Unfortunately not.

Glued!!!

So much better than the female narrator of the 50 shades of Grey book. I could listen to this over and over again!! Hopefully there will be a second book through Christian Greys eyes. I much prefer his perspective over Ana Steele's, she just winges all the time. I'm more the darker side.

This really lets you in to the mind of Christian Grey

This book is fantastic. It really helps you to see why Christian Grey is like he is. Your heart reaches out to the small damaged child.

Disappointed

Unfortunately, I have to agree with those that say this book is pretty much the same as Fifty shades of Grey. :(
