A GoodReads Choice Awards Finalist for Best Romance
"In a class by itself." --"Entertainment Weekly"
In James's controversial and wildly popular first-person erotic romance, co-ed Anastasia Steele is drawn into a dark relationship with a wealthy man named Christian Grey, who is seeking a submissive for his sexually dominant desires. But what Ana and Christian find instead is unexpected companionship and mutual respect. Becca Battoe, whose reading captures the spirit of easygoing, innocent, and educated Anastasia, narrates this endearing audio edition. Battoe's reading is crisp, clean, and well paced. Her version of the inexperienced Ana is full of wonder, horror, and amazement, and she nimbly handles the book's more steamy moments. For the other characters, Battoe offers up understated renderings-capturing the characters as Ana sees them. Fans of the series-or erotic fiction in general-will be delighted. A Vintage paperback.

This series started life as Twilight fanfiction, but when the author went to publish they just changed the names of the main characters. It's such a shame to see such trash in the bestseller list.
All the hipe and stories about this book. Who paying them to do it! I found it had limited story not even than interesting in the sex I have just finished a Johanna Lindsey book I was lent and it was like reading the same set of feeling exactely. By page 200 I was bored had to force myself to keep reading.
Couldn't agree more, this is trash in the best seller list.... no plot and the sex (which, let's face it is why all the hype) it's predictable. I must admit I'm only half way through but I don't think I will be able to finish this.
I purchased this book due to all the hype, so I figured I had nothing to loose. It's pretty predictable but was ok for the $14.00 I paid for it. I've paid a lot more from other shops for worse books. Buying books is a bit like gambling really. I won't be recommending it though and won't bother spending money to buy the other two. It's not a best seller by any means. I was more engrossed reading Barbara Erskins Lady of Hay, or Kingdom of Shadows. Mind you, I'm a person who found Dan Browns "Divinci Code" extremely boring!
I am so excited to see this book here! I read the version before it was published and it was AWESOME! The guy in it is so amazingly intriging yet is so emotionally haunted. Love it :)
I don't usually read romance, but I had to keep on reading to see what happened next. Educated me about the world of S & M, and DOM / Sub, I guess, as that is way beyond my experience ! All the rapid fire, repetitive, crashing orgasms seemed unrealistic too. I was barracking for Ana to tell Christian where to stick his torture equipment, but in real life people can get into all sorts of trouble when they think they are experiencing true love.
Hi. I thought this was a fascinating, if slightly repetitive, book which I would describe as essentially "pornography for ladies". Nothing wrong with that as long as one doesn't delude oneself it's great literature. No doubt equal rights women will denounce it as a modern story of male sexual control and helpless female submission but I suspect many will read it regardless and enjoy it in secret. Perhaps it reflects a deep subconscious fantasy on the part of women generally who really like tiger play in the bedroom despite their protestations to the contrary. Just one question, though, how on earth have these two people got any energy left to work - and on Christian Grey's part, to run a highly successful business empire?
