Fifty Shades Freed: Book Three of the Fifty Shades Trilogy

So I finish the Fifty Shades trilogy... Oh the tragedy! Fortunately I can and will listen to all three books over and over. I just can't get enough Fifty. I think my inner goddess is a pervert ;).

Narration: By now Becca Batoe's remastered recording (the-I-just-drank-half-a-bottle-of-wine-and-started-reading) is growing on me. She's ok but I still prefered the original recording were she sounded young but her male voices were much better.

Fifty Shades Freed starts with Christian and Anastacia enjoying their honeymoon. It includes more kinky lovery, more vanilla wonders and more Christian going sicko possessive. By now this drags a bit because it is a repeat of situations: Christian jealous, Ana challenges them, they fight, the have steamy sex and so on and so forth. Christians skeletons keep coming out of the closet and threatening his dear Ana. There is some suspense that brings some spice to the book but it never lives up to the mesmerizing stories we got on the first two books. Oh, and Ana calls RED on fifty. I was waiting for that!

I believe that listeners will be happy with the ending. Definitely the epilogue and the Shades of grey chapters are the absolute best in the whole book. It was exactly what I wanted to listen to in this story. This trilogy is in a class of its own. I've never read anything like it and will treasure it for years to come.

This book was AWESOME, EROTIC, and well written.

Ana...she was funny and innocent and naughty.

She's always great!

When Chistian opened up to Ana about Elena.

I hope this author writes MORE!!!!

This trilogy came at a great time in my life.

I liked Becca Battoe's voice, although her Latin/Mexican accent was not good.

Yes! I did not want to stop listening to this book and I did not want it to end.

LOVED IT!

I found the readers interpration of the characters laughable at best. She really got on my nerves. I was already dealing with a book that was not exactly what you call great writing but i wanted to see what all the hype was about...Oh good lord...

This book would have been better if every other page wasn't some weird "Kinky F-kery" I believe she called it. It was a lot too much!

If it's written by James...then for sure!

She was annoying

Not unless it was NC-17! And it starred porn stars!

I hate I spent money on this but, oh well. I wanted to catch up and see what all my girlfriends where gushing about. Now I think they all need to have their heads examined.

Yes I must have some masochist tendency's as I tortured myself through the whole series - audible even! Mainly to see if the author and narrator could possibly be so consistently bad through to the bitter end.


My emotions? Frustrated there was no improvement in the writing skills of the author or narration skills of the reader. Disappointment that Ana never matures from her naive, malleable and subservient behaviors. There are times throughout the series that Ana thinks she's acting strongly and standing up defiantly for herself, against Christian, to protect her civil rights. What a bunch of horse pucky! It's sad how she so deludes herself. There are specific items/actions she considers deal breakers but will debase herself for the other 98% of time. She lets Christian roll over her like a freight train, coming and going. I lost track of the times she's trying to figure out how "not to make him so mad or so upset" - over and over. She constantly supplants her own needs for his wants and desires.

The book is grand example of how abusive and controlling behaviors can be exhibited and some classic victim thinking to go along with it.

Yes, because I liked it

Reading the first chapter from Christian's perspective

Christian's view point (at the very end of the book)

When he realized that what happened between him and Mrs Robinson was wrong

Great series, I wouldn't mind reading it again but doing it from his perspective

I love happy endings and this is really sweet. Ana really comes into her own in this book and she is a strong, loving wife.

Lots of answers and questions about Christian's past. Hope there is more to come with more answers.

I love to read, so I would have enjoyed the print too. But, this audio was great.

Christian Grey, Ana Steele

When Christian talked to Ana about little blimp.

Loved it.

I really liked how the writer shows how some women can make a nice looking man feel uncomfortable. She was honest about how it can affect the girlfriend/wife as well as the male perspective. It shows how a man wants a connection with a woman, not to be seen as an object or sex toy.

Their intimate connection and how they communicate. How they could put the past fights behind them and move forward still loving one another.

Yes, I think she did a wonderful job. I would recommend her.

When the female architect was told to keep her hands off her husband. She had it coming.
