Sundays at Tiffany's

I'm glad I received this book as a gift. I would be upset if I had actually purchased it!

I'm glad I bought this book at discount price online, it's definitely not worth full retail price.

I loved Patterson's Susanne's Diary to Nicolas and thought Sundays at Tiffany's would be an equally great love story. I finished the book in a day because I liked the first half of the book. Then I was eager to finish it because I wanted to know more about Michael and his "job" and who he was. I waited and waited and WAITED ... I was so disappointed when it was not elaborated and I am still as confused as ever. I know it's a fiction, but still, I wish there was more creativity and closure to Michael's character.

I was surprised after finishing this book on how many negative reviews it got. I devoured it in 5 hours! This is acually the first James Patterson book that I actually finished (I started reading Beach Road, but I didn't care for his writing style). It is a beautiful love story that I could see making a great movie.

Better yet, what was his publishing company thinking? This is a poor excuse for a novel by a writer who usually scores big. I have loved Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas and really liked Sam's Letters to Jennifer. Therefore, I expected this novel to meet Patterson's usual standards. It came no where close. The concept was too far flung to work for a novel aimed at adults. It would be better marketed to pre teens! It was childish and impossible. I have read many stories that factor in fantasy or the supernatural, so it's not that I don't like that genre. However, Patterson needs to stick to either murder mystery or romance and leave the fantasy to better equipped authors. Don't waste your time on this novel.

Wonderful read! Great for summer! I always wonder about the imaginary characters that children sometimes find to chat and be friends. Seems like this one was real. It is a wonderful love story and I highly recommend it. B. Credle
