HI BOOKLOVERS,

Fuhhh! I was finally got to know how Christian feel and read his thought about so many things that actually happened between them. The satisfaction of knowing both characters Point of view is amazing. It's just different, like you know what make Christian tick and we actually know how he actually feels. 

I know everybody probably already read this and I'm the last one but for those who hasn't you should though. 

Highly Recommended! :)

Ooh, I’m still so in love with this series. I loved the stories when it was Ana telling them but now, when I get to know what’s going on inside Christian’s head, it’s even more addicting. I seriously hope that I will someday have someone loving me as much as he loves Ana. 
All in all, this book gave even more detail into how Christian sees it all and it truly helps me understand his actions. I can’t wait to read the final book as told by Christian. Love, love, loved this book!

Christian’s POV of Darker

I am truly enjoying seeing Christian’s POV. I always wanted to know what happened with his Mom, Grace. 

The re-telling of 50 works for me since it’s been forever from when I read the 50 trilogy. Now, I can understand why a lot of fans were not happy with the Darker movie edition but it’s a movie and things will get changed (I still like the movie). 

I can’t believe I am saying this but I am looking forward to reading Freed from Christian’s POV. 

If you are a fan of the 50 Shades books and movies then go ahead and read these books. It gives you the perspective you are missing.

Not the same

Sadly this one didn't live up to the first one in the Christian's prospective dissopointed to say the least not much to say really...

REVIEW WRITTEN DURING READING 

This book is starting off on a positive note. I like that his attitude has improved and is seeing all the past mistakes that he made. I think Ana should also see that she let it happen when she could have stopped it earlier. They both made mistakes and they have to acknowledge them. But I think that Ana has to do what is best for herself. And at the time leaving was what was best They weren't going to work under that agreement. 

Oh my god! I see it! I read Twilight and I've heard that this was originally a Twilight fanfiction. I sooo see it. phrases like "running for the hills" "she can't love a monster" 
Then there is the constant need to know that she or he won't leave the other, the sleep talking! The fact that she never does as she's told! Ahhhh! and so much more!

How did I not see this before?? Mia would be like Alice. Elliot would be a combination of Jasper and Emmett. And everybody knows Edward's dad was a doctor but in this case, it's the mom. Also Christian's need to inflict pain and all that is similar to how they describe Edward's need for Bella's blood. If you look deep enough there are many similarities. Also the marriage proposal in the second book. Ohhhh and the pregnancy!

Well, I'm done with the book. It took me quite a while since I took a break from reading it and continued reading later. I prefer this one to the first one. And I just heard the last book will be published on June 1st of this year. I already have it on my want to read so I'm gonna read it once it comes out because I hate to leave series unfinished.

A big disappointment! I was expecting more detailed thoughts and deeper emotions as the story was told by Grey himself. However, all I was able to conjure out of this lame version is repetitive sexual encounters and dull inner thoughts from Christian. 
There was nothing new or creative in this side of the story, and that reflected badly on Grey's character. He came out as a moronic man who spends his days thinking about Ana's body and writing emails to her on how he is going to pleasure her in bed. I couldn't sympathize with him despite his tragic past, simply because this side of his story was shadowed by stupidly repeating the same events without adding anything that would define Grey's character. 
The personage was flat and motionless, it was, rather, a one denominational character.

           Loved reading the chain of events from the second book all from Christians POV. Leila, Hyde, Elena, the helicopter. It’s all so good. So interesting! And the more In depth convos with his therapist. Ugh. I just find him so much more interesting than Ana! I’m happy the movies go in a similar order, but they don’t have those deep thoughts from Christian that we all wonder!!! Can’t wait for Freed!!!

After reading the first book from Christians Perspective I had some big expectations. However i found this book wasn’t as good as the first. I did love to see him grow and look into how he thinks and get a bit of a backstory about him. But it was a little bit disappointing.

Nunca me aburro de leer esta trilogía, y a pesar de que ya sé lo que pasaba, me encanta saber las 2 versiones <3
