Sundays at Tiffany's

by James Patterson, Gabrielle Charbonnet

As a little girl, Jane has no one. Her mother, the powerful head of a Broadway theater company, has no time for her. She does have one friend-a handsome, comforting, funny man named Michael-but only she can see him.

Years later, Jane is in her thirties and just as alone as ever. Then she meets Michael again-as handsome, smart and perfect as she remembers him to be. But not even... (read more)

    A lonely little girl has an imaginary friend. This friend happens to be a 30 year old man. Odd, but he was extrememly sweet to her and did nothing but build up her confidence in herself. They had a sweet relationship. Twenty three years later, Michael makes another appearance in Jane's life....yet this time, he's much more than an imaginary friend. The love story here is sweet and I really did enjoy reading it however I was quite unsatisfied in the fact that it was never clearly explained how Michael went from being imaginary to real. Maybe I was suppose to use my "imagination" to come to my own conclusion about that!! This is a quick read....I love Patterson's short chapters...and certainly worth your time on a rainy Saturday.

    Although not generally a fan of chick lit, this book had a unique plot--one that I had not encountered before. The characters were written well; you either loved or hated them.

    I didn't like it. The co-author Gabrielle Charbonnet is a children's writer, and that influence comes through strongly in this book. I love books with a magical quality to it, but this wasn't one for me.

    This really isn't my kind of book. The writing is very simplistic and the substance of the book is really shallow. The idea for the story was interesting, but could have been executed much better. I only got half way through the book before I decided that I was done with it.

    I think the story line of this book, was a great idea. In fact I was very excited about reading it.I just did not like the main character. She was to whiny, to much of a doormat. I could not connect with her at all. It is also a bit cheesy, a bit over the top. A great story idea, just not executed well in my opinion.

    You can see by my rating I loved the book. What I don't get is the reception by readers at Amazon.com. This happened with the last book I read of his, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED. I'm not a Patterson groupie. Here's why. I began watching movies that were from his books. I rarely mix books and movies. One reason is usually to do so would result in a huge disappointment. Besides, life is too short to waste doing that - at least for me.

    It was when my kids became hooked on the Maximum Ride series that I picked up one of his book. The one I mentioned above. Loved it. Then went on to SAIL and again, loved that book. So naturally, I picked up this one.

    It's a little out there, but the story remains believable. There wasn't a boring moment and the ending was a bit of a surprise. What more could I want from a book? I have more of his books on the to-read list and who knows? Given enough time, maybe I'll become a groupie. My kids love him and I loved the last three books, plus all the books of his made into movies. Looks like I am off to a good start.

    I try to read one adult book a month-
    tough with all the good teen books out.
    This caught my eye- childhood imaginary friend and what happens to them and you, when you both grow up and... have a chance to meet again.

    Not sure about this ending- Patterson always leaves a tear jerker, but this was not so. Yet, I am not sure how or what to make of a imaginary friend got- well, 'real'. How does an imaginary friend get a soc sec. card? Ha. Interesting concept

    How can a reader not be intrigued with the prospect of falling in love with their imaginary friend? What a wonderfully simple and lovely story, with a happy ending to boot. One of my favorite love stories.

    An extremely easy and intersting read. While the "imaginary friend" plot was alittle hokey, the book had it's poignant moments. Enjoyed the "twist" at the end.
