Grey: Fifty Shades of Grey as Told by Christian

Product Information

Conchita, who seems to know what she is doing, goes down on her hands and knees and manages to coax him out, using a saucer of milk and an old copy of Hustler.

I was a bit hesitant to start this book, as I had already read all the three parts of the 50 Shades Series (narrated by Ana).

As readers, we wanted to know why Christian fell in love with Ana and what made him pursue her as he did. What was Christian really like at this point in his life where, in Christian’s opinion, Elena became his saviour?

We get to experience Christian's dark days of depression while being apart from Ana, up until just before they meet to attend Jose's art gallery showing together. Without her he probably would have ended up like his mother – a druggie who overdosed when he was just four. The result was the controversial and sensuous romance Fifty Shades of Grey and its two sequels, Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed. It got me to start reading more romance, and with that, I joined groups on goodreads and found so many indie books I may have never discovered and made many friends I’m sure I would have never crossed paths with otherwise.So yeah, it might be a few years since this story graced my kindle, but reading Grey reminded me of all I loved about it to begin with.

But Grey's inner monologue was written terribly which butchered his character and had me eye-rolling at the absurdity of the way he talks in his head (the repetitive "baby" term nearly had me belting out a Bieber song).
