Summary: Another great book by this author
Review: This book was excellent. In this book, Robert gets laid off from his job unexpectantly and is encouraged by his wife to pursue his dream of writing. Robert writes a book about his wife, Allyson's, last perfect day with her father. The book is successful, but then, Robert gets too caught up in this success. He almost loses his wife and daughter, but then, a mysterious stranger appears in his life and shows him what is really important.

The book is relatively fast paced. But despite the book's fast pace, Richard Paul Evans really delves into the characters and does a good job at explaining why they are as they are. He especially goes into depth about Robert's background with his father and that strained relationship.

This books was wonderful in making the reader understand what is important in life, and how Robert did what he could to make amends with the people that he loves, before he thought it might be too late. And we all can learn to enjoy each day and those we love, as we never know if today will be our last day.

Congrats to this author for another great book!

Summary: Delightful modern day cautionary tale
Review: Robert Harlan loves his wife Allyson and their daughter, but detests his job as radio station sales representative. Instead he dreams of one day becoming a writer. When he loses his job, Allyson encourages him to write a book. He authors A PERFECT DAY that focuses in on the final days of the loving relationship between his spouse and her father, dying from cancer.

The book is a monster success and Robert becomes an instant celebrity. He goes on a book tour and is the idol of women wherever he goes. Soon Robert loses sight of what he cherishes most in the world as he is caught up in the glitter and the adulation. His marriage is near collapse when an angel warns Robert that he has forty days to live. Stunned by the revelation, Robert reassesses what is meaningful in his life is to love and be loved. This is what he once had and probably lost, but he plans to die trying to regain the respect and love of his cherished wife and daughter.

This is a delightful modern day cautionary tale focusing on not losing sight of what is important in life. Robert is a great lead protagonist as his metamorphosis from living family member to glamour outsider seems so real. The angel's hep rap may turn off some readers, but that adds to the overall effect. Richard Paul Evans provides a powerful tale with some sugar coating, but no one will come away dry.

Summary: More than just a book
Review: I have read all of Richard Paul Evans' books and I have discovered that his books are more than just stories. His books, as with A Perfect Day, bring home to me an entirely new way of thinking. A Perfect Day did just that. It made me want to find that "perfect day" or to make every day "a perfect day." I love that about Mr. Evans' books. This one is compelling, entertaining, heart-rending, but, as always uplifting. I had to read it until I was finished. Thank you again, Richard, for a wonderful read. Keep 'em coming.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Fun twist at the end!
Review: Loved it! A great story that helped me remember what really matters in life. I was always waiting for the "mysterious stranger" to reappear because his insights are what make this book really sing. The ending really got me... don't give it away!

Rating: 5 stars

This book is not only entertaining but also makes readers put their life in perspective and think about the real things that matter in life.
