    Romance AND Mystery

    This novel made me fall in love with Patterson's writing and mystery. Never knowing what to expect and just when you thought you'd figured it all out, the twist in the plot that makes you flip furiously and anxiously through the pages. I enjoyed this although after other Patterson's novel, can say not his best work. Still pretty good by comparison to all the other stuff out there. Very romantic.

    (The Chapters-Indigo website has been deleting my ratings so: I gave this book 3 out of 5 stars/leaves.)

    I enjoyed this one -it was very sweet. It WAS fluffy, so if you despise fluff and sweet you might want to avoid this one.
    Admittedly, it did lack somewhat in substance: the characters did tend towards the stereotypical.
    However, for those who want an easy, sweet read for a few hours, this one is highly enjoyable as long as you take it for what it is.

    Similar recommended titles (given here because of the weird problems I've been having with the Chapters/Indigo website and which they STILL haven't fixed):

    -Twilight, by Stephenie Meyer
    -Heart of Gold, by Sharon Shinn
    -Perfect Chemistry, by Simone Elkeles

    Short and Sweet

    Sundays at Tiffany's was a predictable romance novel. It seems to be written in a style that James Patterson feels meets the desires of the largest general public audience. I think any avid reader would just find it boring though.

    Patterson uses stereotype roles to write his novel. Vivenne fits the role of wicked mother to a tee. Hugh makes the ultimate jerk, but I find it hard to believe that Jane would be dating him in the first place. And Michael... Well, let's just say no man is that sensitive. In real life he would be gay. Sadly, in the novel his came off that way too. Other words that came to mind would be wimpy and feminine. Not my kind of leading man.

    I will give Patterson some props for allowing Jane's voice to be a comic relief from time to time. I think this made her character more realistic and a little bit more likable. Patterson did also throw me for a loop when he introduced Micheal's fears for Jane's health, and the death of one of the story's characters but Micheal's career description after imaginary friend was obvious from the start.

    The chapters in this story were so super short that it makes me think Patterson probably just ran out of things to say. Perhaps Sundays at Tiffany's would make a better short story? (It would waste less paper)

    This book was great! I couldn't put it down! James Patterson always gets me in the first couple pages of his novels, and this book was no exception. You can't help but fall in love with the characters, and although it has a far fetched plot line, you still find yourself romanced by the idea.
