    "Could't stop listening"
    Who was your favorite character and why?

    My favorite charactors were Anna's Subconcious and Goddess. They come up throughout the story and make me laugh.


    What three words best describe Becca Battoe’s performance?

    I appreciate that the narrator sounds the charactors's age. I also find that her voice tone of Gray that goes from the domineering and strong to a more vulnerable as the relationship changes.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    Yes, actually I found myself wanting to listen to the series in one sitting.


    Any additional comments?

    If you get past the erotic nature of the story, the storyline has merit. It is the conversion of Gray and how Anna gets through all of the crap to raise Gray from the dark. I think that the developement of some of the sub charactors chould have been better developed.

    Story
    "new voice for the books"
    Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

    The story in general I love. The first book I got had the old reader that sounded like she was a little kid. She was supposed to be young and naive and after a few chapters I was ok with it. When the notice came that the voice had been re-mastered or whatever you call it, I downloaded it again. I still have the old version so not sure where the new version went, but I was used to young voice so I just finished the book that way.. The new voice to me sounds like she's way older and it makes all the other voices she does be way too low. It makes me tune out so it's harder to focus on this second book.


    What did you like best about this story?

    I like that it goes into details regarding the bdsm lifestyle with consentuality and communication, leading her slowly and hearing her confusion as she tries to wrap it around her brain in the context of how she was raised and what she knows. It shows the hard side but gives an insight that doesn't make this type of lifestyle all horrible and taboo.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    so far, it's hard to choose


    What would have made this romance irresistible?

    for me...the type of lifestyle makes it irresistible


    Any additional comments?

    Other than the new voice, I look forward to getting in the car to listen on my long waits in traffic

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

    This is my first foray into this type of fiction. I recommend it to my girlfriends as it's a great escape and makes me daydream about what life could be like. I find myself anxious to pick up where I left off which means "is it time to drive somewhere again?" as I listen to books in my car!


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    When the character finally felt belittled and said "that's enough!" so now I must get the second book!


    Any additional comments?

    I listened to the first part with the original narrator and was surprised to hear a different one when I downloaded the remainder of the book. Becca's deep voice is much more believable than the original one. But how many times must the character say "Oh my!"?

    Main character, because of her point of view from her innocent

    "Good Listen!"
    Where does Fifty Shades of Grey rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    It rates in the top 10


    What does Becca Battoe bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    Becca's voice shows the vulnerability, youth and lack of confidence she actually feels.


    Any additional comments?

    The voice of Anna Age Appropriate. She is an "Shy" college Girl not a confident "man eater." The many comments on her voice kept me from buying this book until I spoke to a friend who Read the book. "Of course the voice is suppose to sound like that she is a college girl! Don't let those comments scare you off!.
