Very Good. See scans and description. Hornsby, Westfield, New South Wales, Australia: The Writer's Coffee Shop, 2011. First State of the First Edition, with no numeral on the spine and the lulu bar code number 90000 on the back cover. Octavo, wraps, cover illustrated from an art photo by "Papuga2006"; 372 numbered pages. About Very Good; this copy has been read. The cover corners are curling (see scan), and there is some spotting to the page fore-edge. The Bookmark is Near Fine, with a light crease near the bottom (scan). This is the extremely scarce first state of the first edition, with the equally scarce original WCS Fifty Shades of Grey bookmark that accompanied it. WCS copies dated in 2011 and with the lulu bar code number which do have a spine numeral "I" are also first editions, but a later state. This first state copy was produced before the fact of a future two titles, making a trilogy, was known; hence the roman numeral system (I, II, II) for the three titles was not in place. Note: while there are now hardcover editions available, some showing the original 2011 copyright year, these are all later versions. All first edition copies of any of the three titles were softcover (paperback), and were published by The Writer's Coffee Shop. L-35

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

E L James is an incurable romantic and a self-confessed fangirl. After twenty-five years of working in television, she decided to pursue a childhood dream and write stories that readers could take to their hearts. The result was the controversial and sensuous romance Fifty Shades of Grey and its two sequels, Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed. In 2015, she published the #1 bestseller Grey, the story of Fifty Shades of Grey from the perspective of Christian Grey, and in 2017, the chart-topping Darker, the second part of the Fifty Shades story from Christian’s point of view. Her books have been published in fifty languages and have sold more than 165 million copies worldwide.

E L James has been recognised as one of Time magazine's ‘Most Influential People in the World’ and Publishers Weekly’s ‘Person of the Year’. Fifty Shades of Grey stayed on The New York Times Best Seller List for 133 consecutive weeks. Fifty Shades Freed won the Goodreads Choice Award (2012), and Fifty Shades of Grey was selected as one of the 100 Great Reads, as voted by readers, in PBS’s The Great American Read (2018). Darker has been long-listed for the 2019 International DUBLIN Literary Award.

She co-produced for Universal Studios the Fifty Shades movies, which made more than a billion dollars at the box office. The third instalment, Fifty Shades Freed, won the People’s Choice Award for Drama in 2018.

 

E L James is blessed with two wonderful sons and lives with her husband, the novelist and screenwriter Niall Leonard, and their West Highland terriers in the leafy suburbs of West London.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great adult erotic escapism
Reviewed in Australia on 14 April 2014
Verified Purchase
A terrific erotic novel, aimed at women of all ages. Submissive fantasy is an age old theme, this way you can experience it voyeuristically. The detailed sexual descriptions are epic but there is a romance going on as well which makes this book much more than thinly disguised porn. I look forward to reading the next novel.

1.0 out of 5 stars S***house
Reviewed in Australia on 4 July 2015
Verified Purchase
What a load of baby sitters club bulls***. What kind of lamebrain is interested, entertained let alone turned on by this? Capital B for boring. I've been more captivated reading the walls of public toilets. Ending particularly s***. No redeeming quality other than a paper thin dribble of a plot that time again proves your ability to guess what happens next. Felt compelled to read in order to judge for myself. Can now formally say, from a place of authority, that this book is a yawn, a joke, about as sexy as your uncle dancing at a wedding. P.S. Buy a thesaurus!

Yo ya tenía toda la colección de cincuenta sombras y the mister, sin embargo me enamore de esta edición y decidí comprarme el primer libro. No me arrepiento de hacerlo, es una edición preciosa, tapa dura con textura impresionante, la primera página introductoria es una maravilla. Un libro que de verdad merece la pena tanto por la historia como por la presentación de los libros, en especial de esta edición, ojalá ubiese estado en español, me la tube que comprar en inglés y aun así no me arrepiento.

5.0 out of 5 stars Keep it real, even in fantasy.
Reviewed in the United States on 9 August 2018
Verified Purchase
While the hype of the movie talked about the exotic/erotic behavior of the characters. I found it to be a love story. Both characters cared about one another even though they hadn’t a clue about love’s romance. I know it would have taken more than one hour and forty-five minutes to capture the book. I was slightly disappointed that everything wasn’t captured, but the story line stayed very close to the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Having my own opinion
Reviewed in Mexico on 23 March 2015

I started reading this book wanting to see what everybody was talking about. I thought I would only read some chapters to get an idea because I would probably not like it. But to my surprise I couldn't stop reading chapter after chapter. The story gets to you, the way they met, the way their relationship is full of FIRST's is just great. I liked this book so much and I can't wait to see what happens in the next one.

O download do livro foi instantâneo, o app Kindle para apple superou muito as expectativas, se eu soubesse que era tão fácil, que tinha tantas funcionalidades legais já estaria usando ele há mais tempo. O único ponto negativo é o fato do aparelho Kindle ser caro, gostaria de comprá-lo mas o custo benefício não é atrativo.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fine Love story with an enormous twist
Reviewed in India on 25 June 2015
Verified Purchase
Could have been a very well written Love story if the other ...umm.... elements were not so over the top. those could well have been avoided or rather toned down....Great entertainment value even if no literary acclaim. I would pick up a great story any day rather a literary acclaimed one that bores the death out of me and have to leave it after a few to hundred pages. Loved the central characters.. Steele - Grey - heady combination! The pull, the denial, the anguish, are so very well depicted in simple lucid everyday language; no wonder it has found the impressive readership around the world.

Immediately bought the other 2 in the series to complete the trilogy in one go. Finished reading all 3 before writing review for each of them.
