Oh My...

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Of course I would! This trilogy is eye opening and greatly written. I was never into reading books with such graphic adult content and the intense sexual parts made me blush. However, I couldn't put it down. I had to keep going. It possessed me and I soon became obsessed with the story... Awesome Trilogy!

What did you like best about this story?

I liked how it was so like twilight but with characters that were real not vampires.

What does Becca Battoe bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She brings to life the Characters with her different tones.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Yes, I laughed a lot. I didn't cry. I got squeamish during the graphic parts.

Any additional comments?

Highly recommended. Will listen to over and over again... Very well written. Two thumbs up...

Surprisingly enjoyable

I didn't think there was much else you could do after the first book but I was mistaken. It's at times enthralling to dive deeper into Christian's darkness. I find Anna's inner thoughts to be the most annoying things to suffer through but the narrator does her best.

I liked it better than the first book.

This Book seemed to have more storyline not just sex. Which was great, However there were also times when the characters were having sex and we were just given the before and after parts :-( what happened to the good stuff???

Love the Fifty Shade books!

I have already read all three Fifty shade books when the book first came out but because the second movie is coming out in February I wanted to listen to it again. I did not like the voice of Anastasia at all. At some parts she would sound okay but for most of the story I did not like her voice. I also think they should have had a real voice for Christian Grey. Aside from his Fifty shade side of Christian I wish all men would take note how to be more romantic and also learn a few things to do in the bedroom!
