Ratings and reviews

FREED is the third and final instalment in EL James’ contemporary, adult FIFTY SHADES AS TOLD BY CHRISTIAN erotic, BDSM romance trilogy told by Christian Grey. Told from first person point of view (Christian) using present and memories from the past, FREED focuses on Christian Grey-his feelings, his emotions, his need for control, and his desperate attempts to protect the woman he loves. For readers and followers of the Fifty Shades of Grey series, FREED and FIFTY SHADES AS TOLD BY CHRISTIAN reveals a deeper side to the man many have grown to love or hate. We are up close and personal with his need and rationale for control; his heart breaking earlier years with a crack-addicted mother, and the grooming of an adolescent and impressionable young man to become a dominant with a sadistic nature. FREED acknowledges Christian’s somewhat embattled relationship with his adoptive parents Carrick and Grace, and his inability to recall anything about the missing months while in the care of social services. While Christian is a man obsesses about our heroine Ana Steele, he is also a man struggling with the demons from his past that continue to control his present including his ongoing and unhealthy ‘friendship’ with Mrs. Robinson, a relationship from which he battles to let go. FREED is a detailed, complex and long story line that reveals so much more about Christian Grey than was ever revealed in the original series including plenty of information about his work, and his need to amass a corporate empire. There is supplementary plotline not found in the original series release, as well as some additional content only found in the movie adaptation but now added to ‘enhance’ the story for interest and familiarity. FREED is an edgy and dramatic addition to Christian Grey’s POV.

Currently reading this on my kindle. Im halfway through the book and its pretty boring. I did like the ones that came out before this more

I don't understand why nobody seems to be noticing the artistic achievement these books represent: honestly, it is so very obvious that they are illustrating the redemptive, divine power of human love: like, oh, Song of Solomon? So much symbolism, intimations of the sacred power of love to heal, to open a closed heart, to show us that God's grace is always there for us as soon as we are willing to let it in. This is why you took high school English, people, to see that scars are stigmata, that a blue blouse represents the Madonna, the significance of the names: Ana, means grace. I could go on for pages: try reading this the way your professors taught you: Moby Dick isn't the only book that shows symbolism. Even their birthday dates, Gemini and Virgo! And don't be so judgemental about sex: the only illegal thing they do is ride without a seatbelt!
