See the world of Fifty Shades of Grey anew through the eyes of Christian Grey. He exercises control in all things--until he meets Anastasia Steele. He tries to forget her, but instead is swept up in a storm of emotion he cannot comprehend and cannot resist. Unlike any woman he has known before, shy, unworldly Ana seems to see right through him--past the business prodigy and the penthouse lifestyle to Christian's cold, wounded heart.

BBrating: 3.4 Stars.

We've all seen the movie and confessed to reading the book in the original version and the version that takes out the original characters with Edward Cullen and Bella (Twilight). But even though we all fell in love or hated Christian Grey we all wanted to know what he was thinking??? What was going on in his mind?? Why is he the way that he is?

Well let's just say I am not here to tell you that. Basically Grey is a rewrite of Fifty Shades of Grey but through Christian's eyes.

Pro's:

*Christian's side of the story

*Obsession with Ana

*His business life/what drives him

*His relationship with Elena (the other Dominate over him, we barely see into this past)

*His family past secrets (some)

Con's:

*BABY

*Grey is horny throughout the whole book

*Constant need to know everything about everyone around him

*Flash backs to his childhood which is portrayed like a poem

*didn't makes much since

*always had an abuses feel about him, a need to want to hit girls and punish them in the worse ways.

As you can see my Con list is a lot bigger and could be even more but I will save you all the gory details.

What drives men to think that women want to be called baby in place of their real names? or Bae (this new badly dictionary word that makes not since) or anything else that is not there real name. James used Baby more times in this book than in any other romance novel I have ever read. So for me and my readers instead of having a warm fuzzy feeling to Grey (Mr. Tale dark and handsome) we actually got tired of him and that word.

"I have three cars. They go fast across the floor. So fast. One is red. One is green. one is yellow..."

Mr. Grey's flash backs read more like a poem than they do as anything else which makes it a lot harder to know about him and his past. I was really hoping that this book would of reflected around his time with Miss. Elena the one who turned him into the dark person that Ana meets in the future but instead it is the same book with just him telling the story which makes the read less interesting to at least me.

The interesting thing about this book is we get to see how Grey works, how he handles situations that presents themselves and how he gets his information on people and how he handles ex subs who decide to come back into his life. I liked the book, but it's not one of my favorites nor a read that I would spend my day on.

I do recommend it but like I said don't read too much into it because you are just reading Fifty Shades of Grey over but through Grey instead of Ana this time.
