Book Description:
When unworldly student Anastasia Steele first encountered the driven and dazzling young entrepreneur Christian Grey it sparked a sensual affair that changed both of their lives irrevocably. Shocked, intrigued, and, ultimately, repelled by Christian’s singular erotic tastes, Ana demands a deeper commitment. Determined to keep her, Christian agrees.

Now, Ana and Christian have it all—love, passion, intimacy, wealth, and a world of possibilities for their future. But Ana knows that loving her Fifty Shades will not be easy, and that being together will pose challenges that neither of them would anticipate. Ana must somehow learn to share Christian’s opulent lifestyle without sacrificing her own identity. And Christian must overcome his compulsion to control as he wrestles with the demons of a tormented past.

Just when it seems that their strength together will eclipse any obstacle, misfortune, malice, and fate conspire to make Ana’s deepest fears turn to reality.

Setting: Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington
Point of View: 1st Person- Anastasia "Ana" Steele

Goodreads Rating: 3.89
My Rating: 3.95


Part of the Book that Caught My Attention: Title
View on the Cover: Who is actually the one in handcuffs?
View on the Title: How is there freedom? And if so who?


Pros:
  • This book was a quick read like the other two previous books. It was full of action and mystery more so than the previous books.
  • The conflict in this novel is really intense, which represents how intense the relationship between Christian and Ana.
  • Christian's character really grows in this novel and you really get to know why he is who has become. He also learns how to get out of his comfort zone.
Cons:
  • The book very predictable in my opinion. I knew exactly what was going to happen even to the end. I felt that some of the fun in reading it was taken away.
  • Ana seems to become extremely pathetic and incapable of anything throughout the novel.
