The moral of the story: No matter how successful or educated or philanthropic or eco friendly you are, if you are a character in an EL James’ novel, you are bound to be a misogynistic creep. However, even details about his troubled childhood are hidden beneath the veils of vagueness.Īttempts at showing his rather ‘philanthropic’ ambitions are belittled by his extensively arrogant, narcissistic monologue.Įven his brother Eliot who is shown to have “a passion for sustainable living” is initially described by Christian as “Mr Love Em and Leave Em”. What fans - that “asked and asked and asked and asked” for it - should have gained from the book told through the eyes of the mysterious billionaire himself, was some insight into the persona that is Grey. “As she tells me she likes her tea weak and black, for a moment I think she’s describing what she likes in a man.” She might as well be addressing my groin.” “I ask, “Are you hungry?” “Not for food,” she teases. “I hear her breath hitch and the sound travels directly to my groin.” Here are a few ‘charmers’ from Grey’s internal monologues.
In other words James took and removed the Fifty Shades from it, literally and figuratively. The book is written from the viewpoint of the ever mysterious Christian Grey. However, fans of the Fifty Shades trilogy (author of this piece included) are none too happy with this book that James wrote for those “readers that asked and asked and asked and asked for this”. The recently released Grey by EL James has already become a hit with 1.1 million copies sold in just four days after its release.
