 Long. That is my one-word review of this book. I started reading this immediately after finishing the first book because Fifty Shades of Grey ended with a cliff-hanger. Well, about one-third of the way into this book I put it aside. In my opinion, everything was resolved and I was getting bored. 
 Over a month went by before I decided to finish this book. Not much happened in the last two-thirds. Christian became whinier, needier and more controlling. Ana tried to understand why Christian was the way he was and, in the end, she just gave in to the fact that he is jealous, domineering and insecure of her and her feelings. 
 I am not running out to buy the third book. In fact, I'm not going to buy it at all--I am #153 on the list of holds at my library! Maybe a year from now I'll be able to read the final book in this trilogy. But, that's fine...I can wait.
