Fifty Shades Freed

Fifty Shades Freed by E.L. James
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Out of all the fifty shades books i liked this one the least. The story was very boring and when the author has a chance to really get things rev'd up with the Jack Hyde story line she only does it part way not allowing the chase to go on and the reader really get enticed by it. As in my review for the second book there was a lot of the same repetitive dialogue. From start to finish the whole series reminded me of a smutty story of the little mermaid. Ana being cast as Ariel and Grey cast as Prince Eric. Just as in the little mermaid Ariel is in awe when she gets her legs and is able to see the human side of life, Ana is able to experience the same awe since she is married to a husband that is a multimillionaire. Before Grey, Ana had to watch her spending and be thrifty with the cash she made at the hardware store, now money is a frivilous item and there is no worry about how it is spent or on what. My major gripe with this story is that the epilogue finishes on page 548, then there are 2 short chapters under the sub heading SHADES OF CHRISTIAN, (1. Fifty's First Christmas, and then 2. Meet Fifty Shades), that have the book ending on page 578. Now my math isn't great but my calculator's is wonderful and that means there is 30 pages of information that is really quite unnnecessary. Under Fifty's First Christmas there is the introduction of his first helicopter but JEEZ i really don't care what his first christmas was like. We already know that his childhood was pretty screwy. Then the second chapter as Meet Fifty Shades takes you to just before he has the interview with Ana and it's written from his perspective. This leads me to believe that either the author was unsure and wanted to add this to show people what his true thoughts were like but JEEZ she already conveyed that through the book even though it was written from Ana's perspective. I have to be honest and say that if the book was written from Grey's perspective I probably wouldn't have finished reading the first one let alone all three. That being said and done the best of the three would definitely be the first one, the rest just get more disappointing and lame as they go on.
