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.

Steamy

I know that 50 Shades is a big divider of people, its a love or hate book. I really enjoyed the story, it is one that I enjoy re-reading and re-listening to. I will say that the end of this book frustrates me, as many people have complained about. The performance was pretty great, her voice was great and helped to keep me interested.

Incredibly well done!

While there is always room for improvement, it was a great listen. It gives so much more details than the movies! Loved it!
Thank you.

Great Read, but Hard on the ears!

they need to reduce the whole audio book. it is painful to listen to her. Andi Arnet would be great, and a good vocal guy would be even better.

Somewhat disappointed

The reader made it sound like it was a kids story. It should've sounded darker.
