    I love being in Christian's head
  

*by I***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2017*

Well, I thought when I read the original Fifty Shades Trilogy, that nothing EL James came up with could top it. Then I read Grey, the first book from Christian’s POV and loved it. I’d always understood why Christian Grey was the way he is. Having had a less than ideal childhood myself, I could relate so much to how he felt and reacted.I loved Grey, but Darker surpassed it. OMG, being in his head. It was painful seeing him as an angry man, who still had that frightened little boy within him, who couldn’t get close to anyone, who was so scared of being touched, he wouldn’t sleep with anyone, for fear they might touch him in their sleep, and his need to tie up women so they couldn’t put their hands on him during sex.Watching him fall in love. Feeling so vulnerable and insecure because he’d never felt before, the way he feels for Ana. His fear of losing her. His self hatred and sadly not being able to see the good man he really was. I loved seeing him blossom under the gentle touch and love of Ana. I loved everything about this book. It was such an emotional read. I couldn’t get enough and hated it when I came to the end of this book. I can’t wait for the author to write Freed from his POV. Well, I hope she writes it. I can honestly say, that after having read the original trilogy 17 times, that the books from Christian’s POV are my favourites. I think for anyone who misjudged Christian and accused him of being a cold, arrogant man who was abusive towards women, they should really read the books from his POV. He is not cold or arrogant, or abusive. He is a man who had a horrific start to life, who learnt over the years to cope the only way he knew how. He unfortunately was introduced to sex by the wrong kind of person, but it taught him a way he could be in control, something so important to him. Something I understood because when you have no control as a child, you crave it as an adult.Ana certainly turns Christian on his head. Everything that is familiar to him and helps him cope is gone, and yet, he takes to his new lifestyle so well. This is an incredible love story. It’s the love story between a damaged young man and the woman who comes into his life and loves him, flaws and all. Who slowly but surely shows him there is another way and who teaches him to love, and to start to at least like himself. I LOVED everything about Darker.

    A Troubled Christian Uncovered
  

*by T***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2017*

50 Shades fans will be consumed in Christian Grey’s DARKER point of view. This book clearly gives the reader a much deeper understanding to Christian’s strong feelings for Ana of which he has difficulty admitting to himself. The effects of his first four years of life with a drug addict birth mother and her prostitution life that dragged him with her, always referring him by the name of Maggot, comes to the surface as his love for Ana grows more intense.Dr. Flynn has made a critical difference in helping Christian not only admit his feelings of love for Ana, but making him see he is “not afraid of commitment.”The depth of story in Charlie Tango’s crash, really brings to life the seriousness of Christian extreme need for a loving, intelligent, independent, compassionate but very strong, Ana.For fans of this saga, Darker is a must read.

    Better the 2nd time around
  

*by L***5 on Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2017*

This is what we were waiting for in the first book.  That one was a rehash of the same story and was so disappointing.  Obviously James listened to us and wrote this one the right way.  It is actually getting into his head and revealing what he is actually thinking and feeling which is not revealed in the original trilogy.  It also explains some of the things that went down between Mrs. Robinson and himself and also Leila.  Those are the tidbits that we were all looking forward to reading in the first novel.  It also lets us see into his relationship with his family and how his miserable birth mother treated him.  We all knew it was a nasty first four years and it carried over into his adoptive parents relationship as well but it at least explains more as to why he is so distant and complicated.  I thought that it was very well written and I really look forward to the final book.  Continue this in the third book and we will all be very pleased.  I truly wish you, Ms. James. had written the screenplays as well for I do not think the writers have done your work justice in the films.
