I had high hopes that maybe I would understand more from reading Christian's point of view. Sorry to say I was disappointed. The book just didn't do it for me. Christian still came off as a stalker, narcissistic and self-absorbed. 
 Short choppy scenes that made no sense to me. I wanted to fall in love with Christian, but I couldn't. I couldn't even understand Ana and why she stayed with him. When she said she'd fall in love with him, I just stared at the page and thought "what are you falling in love with." 
 There were some good scenes, taking her up in the glider, the flight in Charlie Tango and just sitting with her and talking. 
 Part of the problem is they way the BDSM lifestyle is portrayed and the fact that even his therapist thinks there's something wrong with the BDSM. No I do agree with beating someone or hurting someone. BDSM isn't about hurting your partner. BDSM is an exchange of pleasure between partners on things they enjoy together. And part of the problem I had was Ana asked Christian to show her, he did. She didn't safe word out (which she should have) and then afterward just walked away without talking it out with him. It just made the whole scene so unrealistic, let alone most of the book. 
 I did read the book to the end.
