 I Loved Sundays at Tiffany's October 22, 2008
This beautiful story had me from page one. I loved every page. The story was sweet and sad and wonderful. James Patterson delivers a charming story once again. I was delighted, what a lovely read. My copy will make the rounds to all my friends, as all my favorite books do. Well done.
 Not too deep or complex - a typical chick-flick novel for a lazy Sunday! October 22, 2008
This book is not deep, heavy or complex - more like a chick-flick novel where you can just read it in a lazy Sunday.
As mentioned the book is about a girl, Jane, who was always lonely in her child life. Her mother, the powerful head of a Broadway theater company, has no time for her. She does have one friend-a handsome, comforting, funny man named Michael-but only she can see him. Years later, Jane is in her thirties and just as alone as ever. Then she meets Michael again-as handsome, smart and perfect as she remembers him to be. But not even Michael knows the reason they've really been reunited.
I didn't go into the book expecting a lot as this is my first book from James Patterson, so I didn't get much disappointed either. Despite its "lightness," it's worth a read - I do think that this book was a beautiful story. The characters are, in some way, very real and in some way very unrealistic, guess depending on the personality. However the author has not built a connection between the story and the reader. The relationship between Michael and Jane had this big question mark. It seemed the author developed the relationship too fast, not going into much detail about how Michael's feelings for Jane change - where as he goes much more details in Jane's character. As a reader doesn't understand what is happening with Michael. Is he real or not? Then at the end you get an idea of what was really happening.

James Patterson does it to me AGAIN!!! A truly remarkable love story that so many can relate to, whether you have experienced an "imaginary friend" or not. For those who have not experienced having one....it makes you envious of those who have. I could not put it down!
Thank you Mr. Patterson for touching the heart of the young and old!
Light, interesting, great characters October 14, 2008
This is the first of Patterson's books I have read and I found it very good. I read it over the course of three days and I could hardly put it down. It's a beautiful love story that is not traditional and has a magical touch to it that I really liked. This book reminded me a lot of the movie "City of Angels", where a non human being falls in love with a human being and this love changes him. Although in the book it is not clear what kind of being Michael actually is, it is interesting because it is not something that is given too much importance and the reader is left to come to his/her own conclusions in that sense. I think this book is for people who don't need things to be logical or probable; it is for those who can read about things that seem impossible and still believe in the love story. I don't give it five stars because I feel some important issues are left unresolved or are given a superficial resolution, but I am definitely recommending it to my friends and I'm eager to read other Patterson books.
Bring your inner child - and you will delight in this book October 11, 2008
I am no light weight when it comes to intellectual activities and enjoyments. But I learned long ago that, just as you must stretch muscles you want to work well - once in a while you must completely open yourself to see the world as a child.
This takes some courage. We find a lot of security in our adult logic and structures. But delight and joy are not measured in the ways of adulthood. They are experiences not of the cognitive self but of the core self. This book speaks to a need our world has to relearn the values of compassion, the importance of a lack of pretension, and the essential need to learn to let go of the requirement to have all the answers (or find someone who does).
Loving another person does not always make sense. And that is OK. Stories do not always have all the loose ends tied up. And that is OK.
Letting go of perfection and reality now and then are good for you. Many people can only let go with the use of alcohol or drugs. But this book is a far better way to do it. If you let the story carry you along, you will end up as I did - filled with joy.
