‘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?’
I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would.
After having read the Fifty Shades series I put this book off for a while believing that it wouldn’t add much to my opinion of the series. After having it on my TBR for far too long I finally picked it up and I am happy to say I am surprised by how much I enjoyed this book.
Having Fifty Shades of Grey retold through Christian eyes actually made me pick up the Fifty Shades series again. I found it really interesting reading about what was going on in Christian’s life at the time and seeing his experiences at the start of his and Ana’s relationship made me like him more as a character.
E.L. James did a good job with this book. While the plot and scenes were the same as in Fifty Shades of Grey the feel of the book was more mature and less cringy. When I read the original series I had issues with Ana as a character, so getting to follow Christian instead made for a better reading experience for me.
Grey by E.L. James is a great addition to the Fifty Shades series.
