The theft, which occurred on 8 June, [11] has been compared to the 2008 leak of Stephenie Meyer's Midnight Sun, a then-unreleased companion novel that retells the events of Twilight from the perspective of Edward Cullen. It was watching him struggle with his desire for her, his need of punishment and ultimately his undoing. Seller has stated it will dispatch the item within 1 working day upon receipt of cleared payment - opens in a new window or tab .

His dad is unsure, his brother wants to organise one helluva bachelor party and his fiancée won't vow to obey. The biggest flaw with the 50 Shades trilogy is James repetitive writing style and her use of phrasing that belongs in a bygone era. However, I would have loved to have been surprised, to have seen an improvement in James’s writing skills. After watching it myself on the day it was released, I can understand why – Jamie Dornan is not Christian Grey.

My reaction upon the announcement of yet another Stephanie Meyer rip-off and a "Grey" story rather than a "Rising Sun" release left me with a pretty strong reaction .

We only get brief interactions between Christian and other people, which could have been used as a vehicle for the reader to get to know Christian better from the perspective of others. Critical reception for Grey has been generally negative and many critics have criticized it for being too similar to Fifty Shades of Grey. The novel was released on 18 June 2015 to coincide with the birth date of the character Christian Grey.Shades of Grey, despite not being my favorite book series, caused a sensation, caught my attention and a few years ago, the curiosity to see if other people thought like me was what brought me to Goodreads. It made me hate Elena more, which quite frankly is amazing because I hated that bitch so much already. 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. I think the fact that I listened to it over a week or two opposed to reading it helped tremendously. It got me to start reading more romance, and with that, I joined groups on goodreads and found so many indie books I may have never discovered and made many friends I’m sure I would have never crossed paths with otherwise.

Grey covers the span of time from just before Ana walks into his office until he get gets her back at the start of FSD. Only my buddy reader’s advice who was one step ahead of me, seemed to slow and calm me down, make me savour this read more.I can honestly say that this read is a fan-freakin’-tastic one, and I really did enjoy it more than the first three books. Their passion for each other burns hotter and deeper than ever, but Ana's defiant spirit continues to stir Christian's darkest fears and tests his need for control. 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?
