When I purchased the novel, it thought it would be a quick summer read, albeit a little out of the ordinary for James Patterson. However,I almost felt as if I were reading a children's book. Unfortunately, I didn't find much in the pages to redeem Mr. Patterson's reputation.
This book is a real page turner. I can't believe the editor and publisher let them get away with it. Even with the chaos of keeping up with four children I finished reading it in less than 48 hours. The entire time, it kept me thinking, trying to fgure out what was really happening and how it would all turn out.Unfortunately, the ending is one great big OOPS, because the authors ran out of steam and ended it the easy way. I was highly disappointed and insulted. If Mama Don't Laugh, It Ain't Funny
I am an James Patterson (Alex Cross) fan. Such a fairy tale romance with the usual Patterson twist. I picked this up not knowing what to expect. I fell in love with it. It is as yummy as a hot fudge sundae made with coffee ice cream and real whip topping. (You would have to read it to understand).
Sundays at Tiffany's was possibly the worst book I have ever read. It was syrupy and unartistic, filled with so many holes in the plot that the entire concept just became a huge distraction. I muttered to my family throughout the book that I couldn't believe how bad it was, and I was just relieved to be done with it. I had hoped the end of the book might save it, but no such luck -- it just got worse and worse as I turned the pages.
Boy loves girl, turns "human" from whatever he was and the rest is history. She has questions for him and he just says "I don't know, wish I did" and that is it.
The book begins with Jane being a little girl with an imaginary friend, Michael in which they both have the same mutual love for each other. The girl's mother had little time for her and the friend was with her to make sure she grows up to be a well balanced adult.
I really enjoyed the book. She meets Michael just when her life as an adult was at rock bottom and while he is between assignments and here is where the story seems to become a little watered down.
When she turns nine, the friend has to go away, but the children with the imaginary friends are not supposed to remember them to keep them from hurting and missing the imaginary friends. But Jane does not forget but grows up to write a screen play about Michael her imaginary friend and the play does wonderful.
No answers, ever. I would have liked to see more detail, but did really enjoy the book.
