The story line is a Cinderella version of sensual innocence and deep seated dark emotion. As usual with romance novels, the non-communication of the main subjects is the source of misunderstanding, anger and reconciliation. Still a good listen and think I will enjoy the other two books. Can't wait for the movies, either. The Fifty Shades of Grey movie is not too far off from the book. The following two will be hard to put together with the diversity of the books, but should be good all the same.

Fifty shades is about so much more than sex! It is about a complex and damaged man and a relationship that saves him. Audiobooks are great in the car or if you need your hands free, you can still read the book. It is a great timesaver!!

to sum it up...WOW..I have heard all the uproar about this book and was hoping it was a good read. Was it?? YES. the author is very detailed about everthing from the first interview with Christian Grey to..well..can't say here :) This book leaves you wanting to read the other 2 books because its a story that has no dry moments. You literally start to fall for the characters
While I enjoyed the Fifty Shades series in book form, the audio version was absolutely AWFUL!! Reading the books you can breeze over the million times Ana says "Holy Crap!" or "Holy...whatever!" but in listening to the audio book, you can't. You probably could have shortened the set by a good 2 CDs if you could have skipped them. Also, the reading of the emails between Christian and Ana became so tedious that at one point I was ready to take the cd out of the player and throw it out the window as I was driving. Again, while reading the books, you can pretty much skip the "To", "From", and signature lines. The audio version brings out the adolescent tone of the writing that has been mentioned. I would recommend the series as books, definitely not a good audio experience.
I would have given 5 stars but CD #13 Fifty Shades of Grey (skips in track 4000 & 5000). I need to replace it. I may be missing some good stuff. I Really Love my Fifty!
