 KID'S LIT DRESSED UP IN ADULT'S CLOTHING October 25, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Less than a love story, more than a fairy tale, Sunday at Tiffany's is every young girls' fantasy of the perfect imaginary man of her youth appearing in the flesh (so to speak) some 20 years later. Sunday is a story that requires the reader to abandon logic and common sense, climb into a magic pumpkin coach and take a ride into a sunset conceived in by Walt Disney and his Imagineers.
To enjoy this story of Jane and Michael(her imaginary childhood friend) you absolutely must let your childlike naivete take over. That co-author Charbonnet is a writer of children's stories is obvious and Sunday at Tiffany's smacks of classic children's literature such as The Velveteen Rabbit and Pinocchio (stories that tell us that "love can make you real") with a touch of Cinderella and The Princess Bride thrown in for good measure (this would cover the appearance Jane's sometimes boyfriend Hugh and her controlling, self obsessed mother, Vivienne.)
I am not opposed to the happily ever after genre of stories, but Jane and Michael are so sweet and their love so perfect I almost got a cavity in my tooth from reading the book. And no, I don't want to join them at the St. Regis for a coffee ice cream and hot-fudge sundae.
I liked the imaginary friends bit October 24, 2008

I listened to this on audio book, and the story was saved from being a little too Nicholas-Sparksish by the superb reading of the narrator. She captured the various voice and all the characters without a bit of problem. I was interested in this story because of the whole imaginary friend thing. Until I was about 4, I had an imaginary friend named Rudi, who only came to visit me (so I am told) when I was in the bathtub. I also told people he was my husband. But I was two, so I wasn't a bigamist or anything. I still remember going flying one night with him and with Inky, the standard poodle who lived with the old lady next door. As if I could imagine that. Hmph.
 I Loved Sundays at Tiffany's October 22, 2008
This beautiful story had me from page one. I loved every page. The story was sweet and sad and wonderful. James Patterson delivers a charming story once again. I was delighted, what a lovely read. My copy will make the rounds to all my friends, as all my favorite books do. Well done.
 Not too deep or complex - a typical chick-flick novel for a lazy Sunday! October 22, 2008

This book is not deep, heavy or complex - more like a chick-flick novel where you can just read it in a lazy Sunday.
As mentioned the book is about a girl, Jane, who was always lonely in her child life. 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 Michael knows the reason they've really been reunited.
I didn't go into the book expecting a lot as this is my first book from James Patterson, so I didn't get much disappointed either. Despite its "lightness," it's worth a read - I do think that this book was a beautiful story. The characters are, in some way, very real and in some way very unrealistic, guess depending on the personality. However the author has not built a connection between the story and the reader. The relationship between Michael and Jane had this big question mark. It seemed the author developed the relationship too fast, not going into much detail about how Michael's feelings for Jane change - where as he goes much more details in Jane's character. As a reader doesn't understand what is happening with Michael. Is he real or not? Then at the end you get an idea of what was really happening.

James Patterson does it to me AGAIN!!! A truly remarkable love story that so many can relate to, whether you have experienced an "imaginary friend" or not. For those who have not experienced having one....it makes you envious of those who have. I could not put it down!
Thank you Mr. Patterson for touching the heart of the young and old!
