Summary: this book is awful
Review: I think this is probably one of the worst books I have ever read. I found myself rolling my eyes as I was reading. The dialogue is totally unbelievable, do people really talk like this? If I could have given it no stars I would have.

Summary: James Patterson painted rather than wrote this novel......
Review: his artistic brush takes us through the deep purple hue of deceit and heartbreak, the golden sunrise of love, the rainbow of motherly devotion, and the umbrish-black of sadness and despair.As Katie sits and reads the diary given to her by Matt after he has told her he cannot ever see her again; our journey begins with her and together we weave our way through "Suzanne's Diary For Nicholas". James Patterson has written many a mystery and although this is a story of lost love, there is a mystery of a different kind to be solved. And as the bright silk ribbon of words in which it is wrapped begins to unravel before our eyes, each and every page pulls our emotions in all directions. There just is no putting it down..one word, one page, one chapter leads inexcorably to the next ....it is as though we are being pushed to the shore of understanding by a mountain of a white cappped incoming wave. I laughed..I was warmed through and through by the love of Suzanne for Nicholas and for all of life..I despaired with Katie...my heart twisted in pain for Matt...and in the end, which came all too soon, I cried...and cried...and cried. It has been a very long time since the written word has evoked such emotions in me...and these beautifully written words and the story they tell, will never be forgotten by this reader. Maybe some of you can understand this...but I even loved the very FEEL of the book in my hands...it's silken cover and the paper with it's rough-hewn edges. Just to hold it as I read it and even when I finished was a joy in itself. Be good to yourself....give yourself a gift...read this book.

Summary: First time reader
Review: I have not honestly read a book from front to back in my life. My friend gave me this book to read and I started. Thinking that it would just be other book I start and never finish. Guess what I could not put it down. It was a great book, it keeps you guessing, makes you happy,sad and even mad at times. It is a great book if you are a person trying to get back into reading and have been reading forever.

Summary: Terrible!
Review: I usually only write a review on amazon for something that I've really enjoyed, but I feel like it's my civic duty to save others from reading this book. I read a lot of romance novels and I'm the queen of loving mushy-mush, so I feel like I'm completely qualified to make this statement: This book was one of the worst I have ever read(in recent memory anyway). I have a policy of always finishing a book I start (I even finished Moby Dick), but if not for that, I never would have finished this one. I think the problem with this book is that James Patterson is just trying too hard. He's writing outside of his genre and the reader pays for it. If some other romance writer had come up with this idea, it probably would have been a great book, but as it is, the writing is way too forced and awkward and it makes the reader uncomfortable at first and then completely disbelieving that anything as bad as what they're reading could possibly have made it on any kind of best-seller list. If you're really in the mood for a tear-jerker romance, try reading any of Kristin Hannah's books. They're not too sexually explicit and as far as writing heartbreak goes--nobody does it better than her. I would especially recommend On Mystic Lake and Angel Falls; they are two of the best books I have read recently. Make sure to grab your tissues though!

Summary: Silly
Review: I am very surprised that this book is not subtitled "Aren't I lucky?" I must have read the word lucky at least 50 times in this short book! I found the ending of this book contrived so as to create surprise, as in other places. The writing was very juvenile. It is, however, a sure to be TV movie! I can picture Sela Ward there with some gorgeous, rugged unknown at her side. If you read a lot of good books; a serious reader, save your money and your time.

Summary: Cheesy
Review: We read this book for our book club, and the only person who liked the book was the one who recommended it. The characters were not real - just a little too perfect. The author did a terrible job trying to capture a woman's point of view - his tone/style sounded the same whether he was writing the diary for Suzanne or Matt. The most positive comment from our book club was that this book gives hope to aspiring authors, because if it made it to the best sellers list, then they have a chance as well.

Review: I read this book in one day, I could not put it down. A very different James Patterson but just as great as ever. I strongly recommend this book. You will love the characters and the writing is extraordinary.
