E.L. James surprised Fifty Shades of Grey fans two weeks ago when she announced a soon-to-be-released new book in the series, this time told from Christian Grey’s point of view. Grey: Fifty Shades of Grey as Told by Christian retells the story of the relationship between the title character and Anastasia Steele, set over a period of time from May 9, 2011 to June 9, 2011.
It is already the #1 Kindle order for 2015 and folks are going off on social media about the newly-released tome.

While some fans are gushing over the new installation of the Grey saga, others are a bit more skeptical about the book and are not holding back on letting folks know how they really feel about E.L. James’ latest. Twitter user @estherannaa is livetweeting reading the entire book (where do people even get all this free time?) and her commentary is nothing short of hilarious. If you don’t have time to read the book yourself, her tweets will help you get the gist of the tale.
“Yes, okay, I admit it. I find her alluring.” Considering you’ve been having a boner for the last three pages, this is not news.

“her maladroitness” ah yes, the return of E.L. James’ fascination with the thesaurus.
