When literature student Anastasia Steele goes to interview young entrepreneur Christian Grey, she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly, innocent Ana is startled to realize she wants this man and, despite his enigmatic reserve, finds she is desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Ana’s quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her, too—but on his own terms.

Worst.Narrator.Ever.

I've had the pleasure of wonderful narrators on the many books I've listened to from audible. This was not one of them. I gave up. I'm familiar with the story, but the Valley Girl voice is beyond bad and I had to stop. And her characterization of Christian Grey? Even worse. Note to audible: re-record this.

Rooting for freedom
Revisado: 07-10-13
This is a lovely story that was extremely well narrated. It is so well performed that I found myself completely inhabiting the soul of the protagnist, even as I wanted to shake sense into her. Each of the other characters was also made incredibly real. A highly recommended book.

Chicago, 1920: Hadley Richardson is a quiet 28eight-year-old who has all but given up on love and happiness—until she meets Ernest Hemingway and her life changes forever. Following a whirlwind courtship and wedding, the pair set sail for Paris, where they become the golden couple in a lively and volatile group—the fabled “Lost Generation”—that includes Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound, and F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald.

Hadley's story
Revisado: 10-18-12
In this historical fiction, Paula McLain gives wonderful voice to Hadley, Hemingway's first wife and the driving force behind his early success. It is wonderfully evocative and I suggest a follow up of listening to A Moveable Feast, the latest edition, which is the least edited and most true to his actual writing, containing many passages, in mulitple forms, that were edited out of the posthumously published original. One thing you will also notice: what a wonderful job McLain does in capturing the essence of the character of Hadley in her book--because Hemmingway's writing mirrors it exactly.

On the last night of 1937, 25-year-old Katey Kontent is in a second-rate Greenwich Village jazz bar when Tinker Grey, a handsome banker, happens to sit down at the neighboring table. This chance encounter and its startling consequences propel Katey on a year-long journey into the upper echelons of New York society - where she will have little to rely upon other than a bracing wit and her own brand of cool nerve.

Not what I had hoped for
Revisado: 09-05-11
In the first few minutes I had reasons to eagerly anticipate this book. Sadly, it never lived up to my expectations. What was apparent to me is that the author lacked the grasp of what the 1930s were truly like, and, after the first anachronism ("para-legals" in 1938? They were still just "secretaries"--not even "assistants," as many are called now), I lost faith in the story as well as the Main Character, who told the story. Very much needed: fully fleshed out and believable characters throughout. Listing the "Rules" at the end? Silly. Even sillier that it was actually read aloud.
