E L James

**Pre-order FREED, 'Fifty Shades Freed' as told by Christian** 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 hundreds of 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?

I've seen on here how other people feel about this book so I thought I would share my thoughts. If you read this book and think that all Christian thinks about is sex then you're right at first and if you've read FSOG then you know that their relationship for him was all about sex. So for that to be the main goal in his mind for the majority of this book makes sense. When I first read FSOG I saw it for what it was. Not a book about BDSM but a story about a frightened little boy falling in love and learning how to be a man. 

It's all about his character growth and renewal that all stems from meeting and falling in love with Miss Anastasia Steele. I've wanted to read this story from his POV since the beginning because in my mind this story isn't about Ana or her first relationship it's about Christian and the changes he needs to make to become whole for the first time in his life. Reading it from his side gives you so much enlightenment into how he was feeling during the most intriguing parts of the original book. How he felt when she left! How he sees himself when he looks in the mirror! Everything that I wanted to know, all my questions were answered. I love this book and I hope that E. L. James will finish the story from his POV cause the moments to come are the ones that I'm most curious about!!

HI BOOKLOVERS,

When I first read Fifty Shades Series, I was blown away by it years ago and when then I decided to re-read the series again and this time I read it together with Christian Grey Point of View. It's actually frustrating and entertaining at the same time but I still love every single words written. But when you read Christian's Pov it makes more sense and you understand better what makes him that way. 

Although we all know how the story actually begin and ended but it goods to read both parties. Since this is old books I'm sure most people had read it so I'm not going to say much. But if you haven't please read it. Oh! And I just ordered a copy of this book last week. So yeah! 

Highly Recommended! :) 

xoxo.Kath!

Quite an interesting POV, I prefer the orginial with Ana's POV, but not a bad edition here.

I waited so long to read this book and it didn't disappoint. It was very eye-opening and refreshing to read Christian's point of view of what happened and how heel feels towards Ana. Although, I enjoy Ana's POV more, this book was very enjoyable to read and I hope I get to read the rest of the story in Christian's perspective as well.

E.L. James

Bekijk de wereld van Vijftig tinten grijs opnieuw, door de ogen van Christian Grey. In Christians eigen woorden, en door zijn gedachten, overpeinzingen en dromen, geeft E L James een verfrissend ander perspectief op de liefdesgeschiedenis die wereldwijd miljoenen lezers betoverde. Christian Grey lijkt een man van totale controle; zijn wereld is duidelijk, gedisciplineerd en volstrekt leeg - tot de dag dat de jonge literatuurstudente Anastasia Steele zijn kantoor binnen valt. Hij probeert haar uit zijn hoofd te zetten, maar raakt meer en meer bevangen door gevoelens waar hij maar geen vat op krijgt. In tegenstelling tot andere vrouwen lijkt Ana dwars door zijn afstandelijke houding heen te kunnen kijken, voorbij zijn zakelijke successen en luxe levensstijl, recht in zijn gehavende ziel. Zal zijn samenzijn met Ana hem verlossen van de gruwelijke jeugdherinneringen die Christian elke nacht wakker houden? Of zullen zijn duistere seksuele verlangens, zijn dwangmatige behoefte tot controle en zijn zelfhaat deze jonge vrouw van hem wegdrijven en de broze hoop vernietigen die zij hem biedt?

Delve into Grey's mind ...

3.5 stars 

I had this book for like forever but in preparation ( ok, excitement) for Fifty Shades Darker movie I decided to finally read Grey. 

Got to say ... I actually liked it. I enjoyed getting inside his mind and thoughts. Thank goodness his inner goddess was absent, but seriously ....

It was interesting to hear his thoughts on his life and relationship with Anastasia. 

I would like to read the next Grey perspective book ... If the price is right. 


If it's been awhile since you read fifty shades then try reading this instead. Grey is still 50 Shades of ...but you get an inside look on why he is what he is.

I was excited to finally read the story from Christian's point of view. It really helps you realize the road he goes down as he falls in love with Ana. However, I really just read it to finally find out his POV.

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.

I definitely enjoyed this novel more than the trilogy. It was a great addition that actually made the trilogy as a whole more meaningful.

Gemma Cameron

It was just as good as fifty shades of grey. Glad it was in Christian words though as now you understand everything that he feels. 
You can see him change on how he works with women and why he is falling for Ana. It is like twilight version of Edward which never appeared but this is so much better.

Georgia Steele

I really struggled to finish this book after starting! But once I got into it I couldn’t put it down! E.L James has produced an amazing book to follow the original trilogy and allows readers to see things through the eyes of Christian Grey…

It’s so different to read from the males perspective and gives it a different atmosphere. Loved hearing the story from Christians side! Loved the little inner conversations he had with himself!

Grey really was a rehash of the original story. However, I did enjoy reading this story again from Grey's perspective. As a book with an expected audience of females, telling Fifty Shades of Grey from Ana's perspective made sense. The reader got all of her fear, anger, indecision, and angst that women recognize as part of falling in love. What makes this novel worth reading is that we now get Grey's absolute terror and confusion as he tries to sort out his ever-growing feelings for Ana. He has absolutely no understanding of what love is or could be as well as believing himself completely unworthy of such feelings. The background monologue from his perspective gives the reader a much better understanding of Grey's motives and actions. I do hope that E L James writes the other two books from Grey's perspective as well.

Roxanne Leblanc 

Fifty Shades of Grey was tantalizing to read with Anastasia's view point, 
however; having Christian's interesting take on the same situations explains why some of his extreme reactions were prompted in the first place. 

Like the first series, this book kept me tantalized to the point that I needed to continue reading until the book was completed! As usual,E L James has given her readers exactly what we didn't realize we wanted!
