Summary: Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas
Review: This is the absolutly best book I've ever read. While in the beginning I must admit I had a little trouble following along but after the first few (about 20) pages I just couldn't put the book down. It is just a terrific book, a wonderful love story and by far the sadest book I ever read. I just love it and would advise everyone with a heart not to hesitate to read it!!!!

Summary: Beautifully Written, Very ROMANTIC !
Review: This is by far one of my favorite book's. "WOW" I knew James had a romantic touch to his writing, Yet this book is WONDERFUL, I laughed, I cried, I thought it was so beautiful! Not at all sappy! This book is fiction you know? Yet the relationship between all five character's is heart warming and tender. This is a REAL Love Story. Being the child of a very sick mother, who died when she was in her early fourites, I was so impressed by the tenderness, being a mother and knowing the heart ache of always wanting to be there for and protect your child, it was a delight and I truly Enjoyed this book! EXCELLENT! From beginning to end...

Summary: Touching
Review: I felt like katie did as I read the book. At some points, the romanticism was a bit too much for such an emotionally profound book. Patterson was successful in turning an ordinary plot into a marvelous love story.

Summary: Sickenly Sappy
Review: I am listening to this book. Probably one of the most predictable stories I have ever read. Can't stand the reader's voice. Being a mother - these characters soooo unbelievable. Everything is just too perfect . . . the references to everything - (Kennedy weeding) were too trendy. Sounded like the author was writing and dropping names for his Vineyard friends. Our book club chose this and I could not recommend it to anyone. I think the author just wanted to make a quick buck. Thank you God - I got it out of the library and didn't waste my money. Formula novel - make them weep and rake in the dough. Don't waste your time!

Summary: Written for a second grader
Review: I was looking for an easy summer romance to escape through. What I found instead was the most simplistic and predictable novel I've ever read. I did not feel any empathy for any of the characters and found that reading the novel was a waste of time. To be fair, I have been called a literary snob by some friends, but this novel was written for someone with second grade reading capabilities.

Summary: Garbage
Review: Not much of a plot; a central male character who is portrayed as every woman's dream (tall, dark, handsome, sensitive, understanding and good in bed) but who nevertheless dumps his girlfriend in an unbelievably callous way for no good reason, two central female characters portrayed as intelligent professionals - one of them a doctor - who nevertheless can't handle contraceptives; and the perfect baby, who sleeps thought the night at 2 weeks old!!!! (This last bit the most unbelievable part for me.) The library had it filed under 'Crime Fiction' and I was waiting for the sudden twist, so you can understand how disappointed I was when it turned out to be Mills and Boone rather than vintage Patterson. IÄm only giving it one star because 'none' is not an option.

Summary: Emotionally powerful!
Review: This is the first time I have read one of his books, and I could not put this down! I managed to read all of 266 pages in one day. The way he writes this diary from a woman's delicate emotions for her child is unbelievable. I was able to visually create every little detail in my mind, and actually place myself in this book, as if I was "watching" this family from afar. I definitely think that this should be a movie! To anyone who hasn't read this book yet, get out the hankies, because you'll need it!

Summary: throwback to 30 years ago
Review: All you people who said this was not typical James Patterson were right. This is typical Erich Segal writing tear-jerker surface-level Love Story in the early '70s just to show he could do it and make money at it. I have to say this book was pretty schlocky, but if you want something that reads fast (which I did this week) and enjoy reading about the perfect lives of yuppies, by all means pick it up. James Patterson is capable of much better writing. I got the book free from someone else, so I dont feel I was taken. If you like romance, family stories, personal tragedy, whatever, there is much better stuff out there to choose from. And if you like Patterson, he's published better stuff, too.
