Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas (Unabridged)

Summary: I bawled like a baby
Review: Just as with his extremely popular Alex Cross books, Patterson has put together a page-turner. However, the suspense in S.D.N is quite different. In this book we get to see Patterson's feminine side. It reads much like a Nicholas Sparks novel and that ain't a bad thing! I have two problems with the book, however. First, I have never met any men like the hero, Matt Harrison. Second, it's hard to believe one person could be so lucky in love twice. Nevertheless, the book will make you stop taking the important people in your life for granted. Each day truly is precious, and you will FEEL the urgency that Matt feels as you read. The lesson of the five balls that Suzanne seeks to teach is a lesson well learned.

Summary: True Love?
Review: I have visited Martha's Vineyard once, and reading the book Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas, the author James Patterson made me feel like I have been there plenty of times. When the characters are with each other or even alone, James Patterson makes you feel like your part of the book and where they are at the moment.
After breaking up with her long-term boyfriend, Matthew Harrison, one of the main characters was left confused. The only way Matt could explain why they had break up was to give her a diary. If I was handed a diary after my boyfriend broke up with my I would be extremely confused.
Suzanne, another main character, moved to the Vineyard because she knew she could start a new while continuing to be a doctor and facing a life threatening illness. A man who was painting her house and helping her fix many problems with it, told her to call him Picasso. Picasso turned out to be a nickname for Matthew Harrison.
The diary was Suzanne's and she was writing to her non-living son that she named Nicholas, until he was born and she continued writing to him. Suzanne became Matt's wife when they married in Martha's Vineyard. The way James Patterson describes and shows how much Matt and Suzanne love to be in each other's presence is extraordinary. They were truly in love and they showed that by their caring and deep devotion for each other.
This book was really detailed and exciting to read it made me want to cuddle up in a blanket and never stop reading. I recommend it to everyone who wants to read really good book.

Summary: Excellent Story of surviving guilt
Review: Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas is an excellent Story of surviving guilt and living each day. There are many twists and the storyline keeps you moving forward and not wanting to put the book down. It will make you cry, but leaves you feeling so refreshed when you are through, it will make you crave for James Patterson to write more in this style than his thrillers (which I love).

Summary: Stunning
Review: I borrowed this from my friend over the summer and haven't returned it yet because it is so... STUNNING! I felt for every charachter in this book. I laughed, I cried, and it was simply touching. I'm truly looking forward to reading the next book (with my Kleenax handy). :)
