I've never felt this desire, this . . . hunger before. It's a new feeling, new and shiny. I want so much from her: her trust, her obedience, her submission. I want her to be mine, but right now . . . I'm hers."

For instance, people being angry, and castigating Christian for wanting to use "Anastasia" instead of using "Ana". Yet now we know that the sound of Ana was too close to Ella, his mother. And that brought too many ugly memories to the surface. We would have never known or understood that before. People just thought that he was a mean, control freak, uncaring person.

I expected the same story, but from his thoughts and feelings. I just love the way E.L. James writes and I'm never disappointed in her books. I can always re-read them again and again. Christian is a complicated man, yet on the surface he seems the elegant, composed, sexy billionaire that women not only lust after, but throw themselves at. However when you delve deeper, beneath the façade Christian Grey is anything but what he seems. This is the reason I fell in love with him from the very beginning, and in Grey we are given unfettered access to his thoughts, feelings, his confusion, torments, self-doubt and loathing. As I continued on this journey all over again (I’ve re-read this series many, many times) I found myself completely hypnotised all over again. Gaining new insights, re-living my favourite scenes and feeling it all over again, was every bit as powerful as it had been in the past. Understanding the story on a totally different level after finishing Grey has left me bereft all over again. My heart ached for Christian, it broke. At times it felt full, hopeful, and in rare moments it soared. Reliving Christian’s nightmares and exploring his past gutted me. The reasons why Christian is the way he is, was always understandable to me, Grey just made it all more real, more emotional and even more painful for me. His thoughts and feelings are on full display and we finally discover how he really feels about the people in his life; Ana, Elena, Leila, Kate, his family, Taylor, everyone is all finally revealed.Could she be willing to attempt a D/s relationship with him? Will she run screaming for the hills when he confesses his intentions? Can she handle the truth when he reveals his darkest desires and needs? Will she see him as he sees himself, a monster, incapable of loving and reciprocating love? In the television series Birds of a Feather, Dorien Green's (played by Lesley Joseph) book 50 Shades of Green was sued by the publisher of Fifty Shades of Grey. [84] What the f --- ! I cannot believe she's said that out loud! The unspoken question that my own family dares not ask, much to my amusement.

Christian Grey, twenty-seven, has a lot of rules. Rules keep his world safe and afford him the control he craves. He is CEO of Grey Enterprises Holding, Inc., the Seattle-based company he started after graduating from Harvard. He devotes himself to his work, and it has paid off well. He owes it to his discipline and drive – and that he owes to Elena. Without her he probably would have ended up like his mother – a druggie who overdosed when he was just four. He has horrible memories of those days, and the nightmares still haunt him. He barely spoke for a long time afterward, even after being adopted by his parents.

Grey gives the die-hard fans exactly what they have been waiting for (some of us years) a chance to revisit their favourite story and characters and finally see and experience both sides of the story. I loved it, every single moment, I will happily recommend it to anyone and everyone who is a fan of this series, it’s a must read for all 50 fans! EL James has just given us yet 1000 more reasons to fall in love all over again. Her quirky writing style is present in Grey and even though some critics will more than likely vehemently disagree with me, I’ve become addicted to the unconventional and unique way she approaches and carries out a story. Emotional, haunting, funny, overwhelmingly sexy and impossibly addictive Grey met my every expectation and even gave me just a bit more.

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? I stop my wayward thoughts, alarmed at their direction. What are you thinking, Grey? (italics) This girl is much too young. She gapes at me, and I resist rolling my eyes. Yeah, yeah, baby, it's just a face, and it's only skin deep. (italics) I need to dispel that admiring look from those eyes but let's have some fun in the process! To answer the question of whether this book is just a repeat of Fifty Shades of Grey, and whether or not it is all repetitive...to some degree, yes. That is to be expected of any book where the author has released an alternative POV strictly based on one character. The Fifty Shades Trilogy was all based on Anastasia's POV, so now you will see those same events and more through Christian's eyes. IT IS NOT ALL EXACTLY THE SAME! Don't get that misconception in your head. There is a lot of new information provided in this book, especially during and after the break up at the end of this book. I was blown away by that information. Sorich, Sonya (11 April 2012). " Fifty Shades of Grey: The undressed review". Ledger-Enquirer. Archived from the original on 14 August 2012 . Retrieved 20 April 2012. At the beginning of the media hype, Dr. Drew and sexologist Logan Levkoff discussed on The Today Show [50] whether the book perpetuated violence against women; Levkoff said that while that is an important subject, this trilogy had nothing to do with it– this was a book about a consensual relationship. Dr. Drew commented that the book was "horribly written" in addition to being "disturbing" but stated that "if the book enhances women's real-life sex lives and intimacy, so be it."

I was so exited to see that the set came with extra postcards and the wedding invitation. It was the greatest surprise. A film adaptation of the book was produced by Focus Features, [60] Michael De Luca Productions, and Trigger Street Productions, [61] with Universal Pictures and Focus Features securing the rights to the trilogy in March 2012. [62] Universal is also the film's distributor. Charlie Hunnam was originally cast in the role of Christian Grey alongside Dakota Johnson in the role of Anastasia Steele, [63] [64] but Hunnam gave up the part in October 2013, [65] with Jamie Dornan announced for the role on 23 October. [66] O: She has a small, sweet face that is blushing now, an innocent pale rose. I wonder briefly if all her skin is like that -- flawless -- and what it would look like pink and warmed from the bite of a cane. F---.

(italics) She gapes at me, and I almost roll my eyes again. Yeah, yeah, baby, it's just a face, and the beauty is only skin deep. (italics) I want to dispel that unguarded, admiring look from those big blue eyes. Edwards, Peter (17 December 2013). "Business students steam up spreadsheets with 'Fifty Shades of Grey' treatment". The Star. Toronto. This whole book and series is not really about BDSM, it is about love, transformation and the ability to heal and move forward. It is about the human struggle to overcome and understand who we are, what we want and need, and to find acceptance and love from others. Someone who will truly understand all that we are, even the darkest parts of ourselves-the parts that we are ashamed or scared of. Christian's whole life had been surrounded and enshrouded by darkness, but Anastasia brought light into his life. For the first time in his life he felt HOPE. That is very evident throughout this book.

Don't get me wrong, I think she is a natural, gifted writer who has had no professional training or guidance. She is attempting to educate herself in matters of technique and form although this is a low priority for her compared to her need to conjure unconscious intuitions into material reality - WORDS. She is making great leaps forward. "Grey," is so much better technically than the trilogy. She is learning step by agonizing step. And I admire her so much for this. She dares to do it in a very public way leaving herself open to all the vicious criticism bound to come her way.As anyone who has read the previous books knows, Ana and Christian’s story is one that is littered with secrets, betrayals, omissions of truth and it’s far from perfect. For me, the true beauty of this story lies within its imperfections it always has and always will. What drew me into this story first and foremost was the love story; two undeniably flawed people attempting and failing spectacularly at staying away from each other even when they know it could cost them everything. Being brave enough to embark on a new type of relationship, for both of them actually. Trying to overcome their insecurities, facing their greatest fears, sacrificing their needs for one another, and ultimately realizing that love is never easy, it’s messy and sometimes incredibly difficult and painful. Una nueva y apasionada historia de amor de E L James, autora del fenómeno mundial de ventas, la Trilogía Cincuenta sombras. Elena introduced Christian to the BDSM lifestyle. Following her rules helped him channel his anger and gave him the ability to focus on goals. He stayed with her five years before spreading his wings. He works long hours and doesn’t have much down time, but in addition to flying and boating, he enjoys unwinding with a sub in his playroom. It is a secret pleasure – and he intends to keep it that way. His family hasn’t a clue – he has never brought a girl home before; Elliot thinks he is a monk. Christian has since gone through many submissives over the years. He always enters into contractual agreements with the women so there are never any misunderstandings. It is the only kind of relationship he is capable of, and once the women want more from him he cuts ties. Susannah was his latest, and that ended about two months ago.
