Darker Fifty Shades Darker as Told by Christian Audible Audio Edition E L James Zachary Webber Random House Audio Books Reviews

• 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.
• 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.
• I read and listened to Darker.. whispersync yay!!! it was a good book, i love that we got to see many of the scenes that we like on Christian's mind, his thoughts and also the conversations he had .. like the dialogs between Christian and Elena or Christian and Leila .. also how annoyed he was with Elena, we get to read his struggle while Ana is touching him, or when he thinks she is going to leave him again, his memories when he was just a child.. his memories of the bad men in his mothers life.. so many key scenes are written here in his POV and i love how we understand him more.
  
  I love how dirty and sexual he is when he is having sex with Ana or when he is around her.. he always has sex on his mind and is thinking how much he wants her.. we can also see how much he needs her.. he is a true gentleman, always protecting her and making sure she is always safe..
  
  at some point i got annoyed that his internal dialog, was way TOO much i mean i know is a POV but sometimes it was too much.. it was a long book 18 freaking hours lol yea...but it was good..
  
  can't wait for the last book !!!
• I'm a huge Fifty's fan, read the other books Numerous times!! The love story of this trilogy is so incredible, how the unconditional love of one person can totally change such a damaged person. I fell in love with their love story. I am a little disappointed in this book though. I expected it to dig deeper into Christian's past, his childhood, time with Elena & had really hoped for more sessions with Dr Flynn. The Fifty Shades Christians POV showed us a little why he is the way he is but I expected this one to go into more depth. The advertising talked about seeing how depraved he was but it didn't show more than his first POV book. Even the convo with his mom finding out about Elena was not as impacting as I had expected nor was him admitting to Flynn that he was in love with Anna.
• To the reviewers who are complaining - YES it is the same story, from HIS POV. If you didn't know that going in then you did not read the description & must not be familiar with this trilogy. Maybe there could have been more but regardless, if your a Fifty Fan than this a little extra bonus, like a keepsake, from HIS POV. Well done EL James.
• I had read the first trilogy of the 50 shades books told from Anna's POV and while they weren't the greatest things ever written they were fairly entertaining for quick reads. This book however, terrible. Christians POV is very scary and would give any woman cause to run far, far away from him no matter how much money he had. If you want to read a book from the view of a domineering, controlling, mentally abusing, stalker then this book is for you. If not, turn back now and don't say I didn't warn you. I didn't even finish it and that's something that rarely happens to me with books, but about half way through I could not take him and his thoughts any more.
