Love it!

I loved this story; I know it's cheesy and over the top but I can't help but enjoy it. I liked how there was a different perspective as well as some different time periods depicted. The narrator was also amazing!

All the feels

Loved this.

It’s definitely the books for me and reading them in Christian’s pov is so much better and definitely my preference.

Zachary did an amazing job with this. His voice suited Christian perfectly. His tone, and the easy way he tells the story is great. He made it easy to listen to and I hadn’t realised I had reached the end until I came across the epilogue. I was disappointed it ended.

Love Christian’s pov, we get a better insight into what he deals with when it comes to his past trauma, why he needs control and his feeling of inadequacy. I’m so glad E.L James did this series in Christian’s pov I’d sooner read these than Ana’s pov. I just feel like there’s more depth, more growth and development in these than the original. Absolutely loved it.

Great book, not the best narrator…

I love the 50 Shades series, and it was awesome for me to be able to listen to the audio version of Christian’s perspective… the only thing that was a bit annoying for me was the narrator. I picked up a few times where he would mispronounce words in the book. He also doesn’t do the best job of differentiating between different character voices. Overall still a good audio book and still worth a listen if you are a fan of the series.

Don’t waste a credit!

I pre ordered this!

Good points:
Zachary is at his best. Well paced, various accents and voices and now I know how to pronounce some French words! Listened to a lot of his work and he’s so easy and ear pleasing.

That’s where the good ends

I’m a fan of the series. Read them all, listened to all, saw movies etc but this is a steaming pile of mud.

Bad points:
Too much sex. There I said it! I was fast forwarding from about hour 2. Repetitive, boring (I read reverse harem from J Bree, Tate James and et el... Ive read good written sex scenes).
Lost the story flow by them banging every second of every day sheesh. Honestly, 27hrs could’ve been a lot less if EL James had skipped a few boinks (and I requested a refund in hr 9). We already knows what happens.
Absolute disservice to fans of the series. Many of us have waited a long time for this and what’s been published is about the money, not the loyal fan base.

Do not waste your money. Not worth it.
