"New Narration is Horrible !!!"
Becca's ORIGINAL narration is MUCH better !! It perfectly fit Ana ... who is afterall , 21 yrs old and innocent . It perfectly fit her personality and character .
This new narration doesnt even sound like her character at all !! A 21 yr old doesnt have a deep sultry voice and it doesnt even sound natural . I feel that those who wrote bad reviews couldnt have listened to the whole book before making their opinion . It totally fit ANA !
PLEASE bring back the original narration !! I am very dissapointed in the new voice and want Ana back :(
"Love it!"
I didn't have any annoyance with Becca Battoe's narration. In fact I thought she did better in this one by not making the male characters sound constipated.
"Even better than the first!!!!!"
I loved how both of the characters changed so much together.
In this book it had to be Christian. He made such an effort to be completely different and become someone even he could love.
Anastasia
YES YES YES!!!!
Can't wait for the third!
"great story, narrator could be better"
could not put book down

very good book, finish the books first before judging it
"Great enough to read again!"
I loved this trilogy!!!!!! so much I would read it again and i have definately recommended to many friends!!
Cannot wait for more from this author
I'm 37 years old. A single Mother of two boys and a small business owner.
"My heart is racing"
The continuation of the story is perfect. Anastasia's inner monologue is very entertaining. I listened with my heart in my throat. I laughed, I cryed, and I panted! What more could you ask for?
I love books, it's my great escape.
"A Fantastic Sophomore effort!!! 5 Stars!!!"
I have to be honest and say that all the bad reviews I read before purchasing the books turned me off. So I decided to be safe and get the first installment from the public library. Of course I was on a waiting list, #255. A friend gave me the Trilogy as a gift. I was totally hooked after reading the first book, Fifty Shades of Gray. From what I have read about the author, Fifty Shades was her freshman effort. Not too often that authors’ have a home run so to speak right out of the box. Fifty Shades was pretty damn good in my opinion. Fifty Shades Darker is no exception.
Christian is a likable character but man he is really “f..... up” in the head and deeply damaged. To say he is flawed would be too weak of a description. By definition a flaw is ….a physical disfigurement that prevents something from being totally perfect and detracts from its value. On the outside Christian is beautiful, financially successful, and generous. He does not see his own self-worth. That is really what kept me listening and pulled me in deeper. I just had to see if this guy was going to be ok and if Anna would make a difference in his life. For a lack of a better description, Christian is a walk on the dark side of sexuality.
What I did not expect was to be moved to tears because of the horrible things that happened to Christian in his young life. I did not expect to find myself laughing at Anna’s inner Goddess and her self-conscience which were like two minor characters with their own personalities.
The narration of the 1st and 2nd books was really adequate to me; I could not find any fault with it. In fact the narrator did a pretty good job in conveying some serious and disturbing emotions from Christian and making the reader feel how young and inexperienced Anna really is, the young sounding voice just added to this fact for me.
Christian’s big reveal knocked me for a loop. So Keep Calm and Stow Your Twitchy Palm! It’s ok the Trilogy is worth purchasing. I do recommend getting this trilogy, because I have already downloaded the 3rd installment. I now know what the hype is all about and it’s not hype, it’s pretty shocking and pretty darn good. If you liked Tempted and Naked, and the character Alex by Megan Hart this Trilogy will move you too.
LIFE just happens that way sometimes!
"A lot better than book 1"
I enjoyed this book it's amazing how many people are connected to Grey and the lengths Grey will go to make sure that his lady love is secure in her life with her job, the things that love seems to make people do, protect the one you love. This book was good I am still frustrated with the emails that continue to go back and forth but I am suprised how Ana starts to show some type of boldness in this book. What I remember the most and had me wanting to know what will happen next is when Charlie Tango had it's issue. The narrator did a great job and the sex scenes in this book were still superb. Grey does work my nerves though because of his dominating actions and responses. A lot happens in this book and I am ready to listen to the final book.
I LOVE READING AND LISTENING TOO BOOK S, MY FAVE AUTHORS ARE MAYAN BANKS, LORELEI JAMES , AND I JUST STARTED READING VIVIAN AREND,
"BETTER THAN BOOK ONE"
IT ADDS LIFE TO THE STORY
THE BALL
SEXY SEXY SEXY MAKES YOU WANTS TO TAKE YOUR HUSBAND TO THE BEDROOM OR ELEVATOR.
"Fantastic"
I really loved how the characters interacted, and for that reason I do not have a favorite character.
