Summary: One of the worst books I've read this year
Review: This book was borderline horrible...it was a constant effort of a Hallmark Moment. Full of cheesy unrealistic dialogue, predictable events, cliche'd happenings. Towards the end I just started skimming because I knew what it was all leading up to.
It strives to be some groundbreaking story of depth, but it's just a repeat of what's been done 1000's of times before. The book gets so cheesy sometimes I was laughing at the moments intended to hit a person in the heart.

Summary: A delight to read - but grab the tissues!
Review: I read A Perfect Day, in one afternoon - and cried about 5 times throughout the novel. Some people have indicated in their reviews that this novel is too soppy - and too happy, but I tend to disagree. Every now and then every one of us needs something to make us remember what we have and how easy it is to lose everything that is important to us.

A Perfect Day is a story of an ordinary man's flight to fame, and fight to retain that which is dear to him, having published a New York Times Bestseller. Based on the story of his loving wife's relationship with her dying father, the book (entitled A Perfect Day also) is loved by all who read it. Unfortunately, fame and fortune quickly overwhelm Robert Harlan, forcing him to lose sight of the things that really make him happy. His simple life with soul mate Allyson, and daughter Carson disolve around him - leaving him rich, famous...but alone.

Without giving too much away, Robert meets a stranger who advises him that he has only until New Years Day to live. It is with this knowledge that Robert does what he knows in his heart is right.

A Perfect Day is a novel of forgiveness, family, and the overwhelming power of love. A must read for anyone who enjoyed 'The Five People You Meet in Heaven' .

Summary: Simply Amazing, An inspiration
Review: I am a person that doesn't like to read very much in school. One day I looked around in my local bookstore and found a book that I thought would be interesting. We are required to rad at least 250 pages of a book and then summarize it, any extra pages is extra credit. So I read all 280 pages of this book and I must say that it made me actually like reading. I felt like this was a book that I could understand so well and relate to in a way. I enjoyed this book so much that for my next book I began The last Promise but I never finished it because it was due and I maxed my time of renewing it. I loved the suspense that this book got me, suspense in a romantic way, that even after not finishing the book, I want to pick it up again. This book is now on my wishlist. This author inspired me to try and like reading. And now, I do
