Grey discussion

Disappointing...I was like....is the author going to write the other two books in Christian's POV as well? Damn! Er....not a great idea! hello! I hope this author realizes that when its too much...its too much...time to write a new, different series...this was just too much of the same ol sh@%*!

not everyone's a fan, and well, you knew what you were getting when it was slated as Grey's POV. soooooo.....

im with the rest of the folks that would LOVE for EL James to write the other 2 from his POV. we'll have to wait and see.

I loved the first 3, so obviously i had an idea what Grey would be about.
But being in Christians head was really boring and i only finished it because i am a stubborn person and was not going to let it beat me. If the other 2 are done from Christians POV i won't be buying them. Glad i gave it a shot though.

I thought that the beginning of the book dragged a little, but once they were more into each other I really enjoyed seeing Christian's POV...and his life without Ana. I would read the other 2 books if she does them.

I hope she does write the next two.

I really enjoyed Grey so much more than 50 Shades. I enjoyed just reading his POV without worrying what was going to happen.

As a previous reader said I am ready for a new series by her hopefully it is something I will enjoy as her previous books.

I guess I am one of the odd ones out - I enjoyed his POV much better than the original. I hope she does the next 2 books in the series from Christian's POV. I wsa nice to read it with out the inner goddess crap and the over thinking that Ana did. Plus I would love to read the confrontation between Elena and Ana and the subsequant talk between Christian and Grace in his POV. I think that would be awesome!

Rumor has it that's she will be writing the 2nd and 3rd books

I loved all the interaction and daily happenings in his life. Even loved his conversations with his brother.

So glad to hear the rumor of two more books :)

I'm with you. Like you said you knew exactly what you were getting into when you started reading this book, I love that I got to know Christian better, I loved that I got to know what went inside that broken head of his. I do hope she does write his POV of the other 2 books.

I agree she needs to write new, I wouldn't mind Kate and Elliots story or even better what happened with Mia and Ethan

I would love for her to write books about Mia/Ethan and Kate/Elliot.

Me too.

I loved Grey because it gave more insight into Christian. We see how completely at a loss he is around Ana. He has compartmentalized his life to the extent that when he's forced into situations where he isn't in control and knows what to expect, then he reverts to an awkward, confused 15-year-old. I also loved seeing more about his D/s relationships and how he felt about Mrs. Robinson. I liked his times with Elliot and how he interacted with his co-workers. I'm going to read it again I liked it so much! I did like the last half better than the first half, but I think that's because Christian was so up-tight before Ana fell into his life and shook him up.

I agree. I loved climbing into his head and see the damage and why he was so damaged.

The only reason I read it was to get into his head and it seems I will have to read the other two also

Yup, I too want to get into his head.

You're not odd, Peggy, or we're odd together, lol. I enjoyed Christian's POV rather than Ana's. Don't get me wrong, I love both stories, but prefer it from Christian's.

Absolutely! Loved seeing things from his eyes.

when there is a great writer, no series expansion is too much but e l james is NOT a great writer. i mean her instinct are great, we don't like or hate her books for nothing, but she lacks training, guidance and plain sense when it comes to writing novels, a story which could have been wrapped up in two parts took three and novellas to fully understand and keep on understanding.i mean if any of you have read c j robert's captive in the dark series, you will find the superior structure of the story too staggering to comprehend and not to mention there is not need to add on novellas as well.you could easily draw parallels to caleb and christian and olivia and ana and rafiq and elena. obviously the former ones are far more nuanced and better written.
i want e l james need to wake up and start taking her vocation seriously. i mean if you want us to give christian's POV please try at least to write well( she thinks writing in a blackberry in 3 months is literary feat!)
