Christian Grey. Sigh! Now that I've read this series of Fifty Shades trilogy, this name is itself a delight. Minus the erotic part, the major reason of reading this series by E.L. James is this character who has the certain quality of bewitching ladies. The story
continues, and the character becomes more and more intense, more and more grey until the end of the third part. The fifty shades of his character never fails to amaze. And the fact that inside those shades of grey, there lies a Christian that makes him so un-'fifty'.
Anyhow as I go in the retrospect, I am going to give y’all the insight into his
persona and some of the parts that have become my favourite- how he woos Ana (his love interest), Ana's effect on him and the reason why he can attract anybody in no second. So, here is a
chronological insight that I personally noted:
Hot & Mysterious: There’s always something about the hot and mysterious guys. Isn't it? As much as Grey's charm amuses, he seems to be a
complete enigma. And this aura is being maintained in all the three novels of
50 shades.
Stalker: In a good way! He knows woman loves chase and he is
himself no less than a chaser… a serious chaser. He tracks his girl down and has
all kind of details about her, and in no way he seems to be pesky.
Laters, baby: So un-'fifty' but somehow so him! He is not a
romantic kind but whenever he uses this line, it seems like his own signature phrase.
Email conversation: My favourite!
<3 Reading these email exchanges between Christian Grey and Anastasia
Steele, I’m surely a fan of 'shouty' capitals, their subject lines and
signatures.

50 shades: No novel in this series loses the fifty shades of Grey. He
is all the same mysterious, hot, full of anger and love at the same time. Be it
making Ana (eat or being a total control freak or his readiness to pick up the gauntlet whenever Ana throws down one! Each and every line of his description
and his dialogues refer to his fifty shades.
All in all, it was a delight to meet Mr. Grey and it was fun to know that he indeed aims to please. ;)
Laters, y'all!

P.S. To really enjoy this piece, you do need to read 'Fifty Shades of Grey'. :)
