When literature student Anastasia Steele interviews successful entrepreneur Christian Grey, she finds him very attractive and deeply intimidating. Convinced that their meeting went badly, she tries to put him out of her mind - until he turns up at the store where she works part-time, and invites her out.

As they embark on a passionate love affair, Ana discovers more about her own desires, as well as the dark secrets Christian keeps hidden away from public view ...

As the author of Kara Ignition, a similar book I thought I should read or at least listen to the benchmark for this Genre. Of course I read all of the reviews from past readers and to be honest I was a little surprised. Comments like amateur effort and poor narration. Firstly, I didn't listen to it to critique it but to just enjoy it for what it is, a book to arouse, and I think it does that and does it well, ask the millions of people who bought it. The narration, well I actually thought she did a really good job. The voice for Anna was perfect and for Christian Grey, well I met Jamie Dornan today and believe me none of us could sound like him. I felt the book did improve slightly as it went on (Don't they all) I also noted a comment on repeated phases, well if you have a teenage daughter, that how it is. My advice, read it with your partner and enjoy what it has to offer. Well done E L James and Becca Bettoe.

Far better than I expected
