Publisher's summary

More than 150 million copies sold worldwide.

When literature student Anastasia Steele goes to interview young entrepreneur Christian Grey, she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly, innocent Ana is startled to realize she wants this man and, despite his enigmatic reserve, finds she is desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Ana’s quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her, too - but on his own terms.

Shocked yet thrilled by Grey’s singular erotic tastes, Ana hesitates. For all the trappings of success - his multinational businesses, his vast wealth, his loving family - Grey is a man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control. When the couple embarks on a daring, passionately physical affair, Ana discovers Christian Grey’s secrets and explores her own dark desires.

This audiobook is intended for mature audiences.

Look for E L James’ passionate new love story, The Mister, coming April 16, 2019.

Interesting!

Is there anything you would change about this book?

This was a fun book to listen to, one of the fastest I have finished. But, if I could wish for one thing, I'd wish that the author used a greater variety of adjectives. I felt like she copy/pasted her way through parts of the book.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Fifty Shades of Grey?

Ohhhh, no... not going to write about the most memorable moment on the internet.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Becca Battoe?

I didn't mind the narrator, she did her best to change voices and add emotion to the words.

Did Fifty Shades of Grey inspire you to do anything?

Made me think about the subject mattter.

Any additional comments?

Definitely adult content, do not read if you are offended by SEXUAL CONTENT.

Repetitive

What do you think your next listen will be?

My wife already ordered book two of the trilogy. I will pass and go back to a business book.

Have you listened to any of Becca Battoe’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No.

Was Fifty Shades of Grey worth the listening time?

It was not worth my time, but I gave it a change and listened to the end. My wife also has a copy and she is really into it.

Narrator Voice

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes and I have, however, I also warn them about the voice of the narrator. I'm not sure why she chose to use a whiney "valley girl" voice for the character of Ana, but it was very hard to get past.

What other book might you compare Fifty Shades of Grey to and why?

Not really sure there is anything currently out there with the depth and layers of these two characters comparable.

Would you be willing to try another one of Becca Battoe’s performances?

Probably not.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

"Fifty Shades of Grey, Hollywood ruining another book because they don't take the time to get it right".

Decent

Since I struggled to read it when first released, I wanted to try something new now that I have seen the movie. There are few literary problems, but I understand the appeal.
