Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? She's certainly tapped a vein and deserves all the accolades she receives thanks to her readers. Between the IG high fiveing and the subconscious wagging finger and tapping her foot we are left with the vulnerable but worldly Anna, ready to try anything rather than remain a virgin, and "oh my" ,having multiple orgasms at every turn of the page.Į L James has stated that this trilogy is the result of her middle-aged fantasy. The inner goddess and the subconcious were soooo annoying. What character would you cut from Fifty Shades of Grey? Can't shoot the messenger and she was really very good at bringing the book to life. Have you listened to any of Becca Battoe’s other performances before? How does this one compare?īecca did a splendid job with the material given. What do you think your next listen will be?Ĭertainly not the sequel to 50 shades of grey! It was like coming up for air when the book eventually ended. If the sexual episodes were cut then the book would be about 2 hours listening. Anastasia may have been surprised by some events but the reader was not. What would have made Fifty Shades of Grey better?Ī plot! Less repetition.

Although her reading of male characters did make me laugh at times. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Becca Battoe?Īs a narator there was nothing wrong with Becca. Its needs deeper characters and more realistic set up.

This book definitely needs more research done on the topic. James have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Seriously who calls their internal ego “inner goddess"? I am amazed at a line up of very excited people who loved this book. All the internal personalities and their names. So many repeats and the attempts at creating the funny lovable character - huge fail. The language used in the book is also odd. In a year 2011 it is simply impossible to be Ana. However characters are simply ridiculous. The story line itself as an idea could be worked with. It is incredibly difficult not to roll your eyes and exclaim "as if" when you listen to this book. If you're after something a little risque and perhaps a little controversial, this is for you.What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
FIFTY SHADES OF GREY BOOKS SERIES
Having read all three books in the series myself, I was, admittedly, a little unimpressed by Ana as a female protagonist, but at the same time, I don't need to fall in love with the characters to enjoy a book. It's brilliant to throw in your bag if you're going on holiday and provides perhaps a little more to think about than your average piece of chick lit. It's definitely a lighter read, the reading is not devastatingly complex, but given it's subject matter, that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's popularity is testament to the changing climate surrounding sex and sexuality. 50 Shades is not all silk ties and ice cubes. It explores a darker side of sexuality that's only really received coverage in a few stray issues of Cosmo.

Whilst 50 Shades certainly isn't everyone's cup of tea, it's certainly grasped the attention of a wide audience recently. Definitely not for everyone, but not necessarily a bad thing.
