THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING FIFTY SHADES Trilogy

"In a class by itself."
—Entertainment Weekly

Narrator better, and worse....

Where does Fifty Shades Darker rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It's definitely a different type of story than I usually listen to

What did you like best about this story?

The personal journey Christian undertakes to make a better life for himself and Ana.

What aspect of Becca Battoe’s performance would you have changed?

Where to start? She does better in sounding more mature in regards to Ana's character, losing the "valley girl" intonations, but Christian and Jack Hyde sound absolutely ridiculous! Who talks like that? I didn't have a problem with those characters in book one....

And she definitely hasn't learned to correctly pronounce several words....

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

I listen to books constantly as I don't have time to sit down and read them myself.

Any additional comments?

I really think the author should be consulted when choosing a narrator to insure that the audio comes off the way she meant it to when she wrote it....

My inner goddess Is delighted!

The second book in the Fifty Shades Series is as good as the first one but for different reasons. FSoG introduced us to the world of BDSM in a captivating love story. While FSD is a journey. This book begins five days after Ana left kinky Christian. He then realizes that he has true feelings for Ana and wants to change so they can be together. Its so wonderful to see Christian go from darkness to the light (love sure makes everything better).

Sure there's still lots of kinky lovery between the two main characters but they both embrace a vanilla relationship and it's so gooood! Ana learns about Christian's past, accepts him and they both prepare to take the next step in the relationship. This book has no resemblance to Twilight and has some interesting suspense. The ending leaves you wanting more because it is a preamble for the third and final book.

Audiobook narration: after listening to Becca Battoe for forty hours you get used to her and I liked her performance in this book a little better than in the first. She did a very good job with female voices and in the deep emotional scenes I actually felt like she was crying. Still her male voices need lots of improvement but its nothing terrible. It definitely did not keep me from staying awake late at night listening to the story. From the 75 audiobooks I have, this series is in my top 5.

Love it!

What did you love best about Fifty Shades Darker?

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.

Amazing Series

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

Only Gets Better

What did you like best about this story?

The continued development of the characters and continuing to produce a book that you just can't stop reading/listening to

Have you listened to any of Becca Battoe’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

She did the first book, Fifty Shades of Grey - but it's the same series, so it's hard to compare.

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

YES!

Any additional comments?

I loved reading the book, so I love hearing the book - you can critique Becca all you want, she did a better job than I could ever do. This series is a page turning, can't put it down for one second because you MIGHT miss something kind of series....it sucks you in and spits you out a happy sappy lovey dovey mess. Don't listen to the reviews that say it's porn - porn is not about love and to it's core this book is the BEST love story I have ever read.

Glad I kept going

I really debated on stopping after the first book because I was so mad at Christian and I had read so many negative reviews. I am so glad I didn't listen. Darker and Freed are so good and the story ends so well. So for all of you thinking about stopping after book one, please reconsider, you will be glad you did. I am sad that they are over. Enjoy
