    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.

    If you could sum up Fifty Shades of Grey in three words, what would they be?

    Mind Blowing Naughtiness


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

    I don't think I've ever read a book like this. I am reminded of Sidney Sheldon's writing and the book Lace I read when I was a teenager but they had nothing on this book!


    What didn’t you like about Becca Battoe’s performance?

    Her voice is so irritating! It was like listening to my pre-teen daughter read me a sex book! It did get better as the story went on or maybe I just got used to it.


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

    Are you rolling your eyes at me?


    Any additional comments?

    I enjoyed this book and so did my husband! I really hate to waste my time reading trashy novels but even though my i.q. went down as each page was read, my sex.q. went up!

    How much better would your life be if you had an army of Nobel Laureates, MacArthur ‘geniuses’ and National Medal of Science winners whispering tips in your ear about your body language, or how to resist that impulse purchase you’ll regret tomorrow, or when to sell your car - or even helping you trick your spouse into doing the dishes?

    Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

    I really liked the information about the dieting. I am using the suggestion and so far it is working painlessly! Most of the other things I found were obvious. This is a book I would find at the 1/2 price store and wait for it to be on sale before I bought it because it has information that is interesting but not riveting. There are too many other awesome books out there ahead of this one but I enjoyed what I heard so my time wasn't too wasted. Also it was free and I was trying to wait for my next credit.


    Would you be willing to try another book from Garth Sundem? Why or why not?

    I like the idea of summarizing important,ground breaking, and interesting research. I would really need to be super interested in what he was reporting on before I got a book he wrote.


    What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

    I am ambivalant about the performance.


    Did Brain Trust: Free Excerpt inspire you to do anything?

    Yes, I was inspired to try the dieting advice. It is very simple and easy to do and it seems to be working.


    Any additional comments?

    I would be more interested in purchasing the book if I had a better idea of the other topics.
