Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas

Summary: Will always remain in my heart!
Review: When I began this book after dinner, around 6:30P.M., I never imagined this book would hook me in a way that no book has ever hooked me before. I finished the book at 4A.M. and cried myself to sleep. This was by far the best book I have EVER read! I read this book 6 months ago...and still to this day, a song or even the name Nicholas, brings me right back to that spot on the couch where I stayd untill the book was complete. Every time I recommend a book, I always HIGHLY recommend this one. The saddest part of the book is when it ends. Patterson really has proven himself to be a wonderful writer.This book is a must read.

Summary: HAVE YOUR SUGAR LEVELS TESTED AFTER THIS!!
Review: Let me say I'm one of the biggest romantics in the world and I love a heart-wrenching love story but this book could almost be considered a satire on love stories. The only part that really brought me to tears is when the dog died. How predicatable was this story especially when you realized Suzanne had a heart condition? How else could it have ended? Could Matt have been anymore perfect? He reminded me of a charactor I created for a short story in Junior High. Besides the charactors that never developed, the juvenille and saccharin writing style, the absurd thought that a mother would write of her romantic escapades in a diary to her child, I think what bugged me the most was Patterson's constant name dropping. It really sent the shallow feel of this story over the top. This was a real disappointment. I don't mean to insult anyone, but those who say this is the best book they have ever read really need to expand their choices in literature.

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.
