1) Audio CD Book Sundays at Tiffany's by Hachette Audio. This book, after having been read in 2 days has made it onto my list of favorites. The concept of the imaginary friend was wildly inventive and wonderfully executed. Although the romantic relationship between woman and childhood imaginary friend was a bit odd.¤ 2) Audio CD Book Sundays at Tiffany's by Hachette Audio. I like all sorts of books. Sometimes I want a a light read, a break from something that requires a lot of my attention. I checked out Sundays from my local library as an Overdrive Audio book for just that purpose. I´ve never read anything from Patterson but I wasn´t expecting something literary and if you aren´t either, you´ll have a better chance of enjoying a book like this. I thought the imaginary friend concept being a "real" thing or at least coming back and being real was an interesting one. I´ve never thought of that before, probably because, as far as I remember, I never had an imaginary friend of any duration. I thought the story was sweet and charming and I did not find Micheal´s (the imaginary friend) romantic love for Jane as an adult off-putting. I thought there was sufficient explanation and development of his angelic/mentoring type of love for her as a child--her characteristics and humanity--becoming a deeper love for her over the years as he thought about her and later when he spots her in NYC and watches her, then meets and spends time with her again.¤ 3) Audio CD Book Sundays at Tiffany's by Hachette Audio. I was delightfully surprised by a Patterson book that escapes the confines of his usual murder mystery novels and suspends the very reality that makes many of his other novels so powerful. I related greatly to Jane as a child, and it brought back many of my own painful memories that were good to visit in a positive environment. The authors didn´t dwell on the negative and made what could have been a depressing situation into a light, refreshing story. It kept me wondering, along with Jane (and Michael), as to exactly who Michael was and what he would do next. His friends were just the right touch to lend credence to the story without being too much. Refreshing also was the sweet, innocent romance and Michael´s becoming self-aware. The chapters were, in true Patterson style, short and sweet, which made the story flow and made it easy for me to take a break (not that I wanted to!). Quite honestly, it was extremely difficult for me to put down, and my one negative thought was that the end would come far too soon. Patterson clearly found a co-author who shared his light, fantastical side to make a great combination of reality, joy, and whimsy.¤ 4) Audio CD Book Sundays at Tiffany's by Hachette Audio. This book was one of the best books I have read in a long time. It was a story I think any person who has had a imaganary friend can relate to. It was purely heartwarming. I read this book in one afternoon I could not put it down. I read alot of James Patterson and I think this was the best one yet.
The book takes place in NYC and you almost feel like you are right there with the descriptivness. When you read this book you just want to befriend Michael and Jane.
Worth the time to read. Make sure you keep a box of tissues handy though a real tear jerker in parts.
¤ 5) Audio CD Book Sundays at Tiffany's by Hachette Audio. I really hated this book ... It was so sappy and artificial I could hardly get through it. A friend loaned it to me who loved it, and honestly I just don´t get it.
I thought the idea of the story wasn´t so bad, so I guess I kept expecting it to get better. It never did. The "romantic" parts were totally unbelievable and just stupid. Even the characters didn´t seem convincing ... I´m sorry, but no straight man would ever rollerblade through Manhattan listening to Corinne Bailey Ray.
If you liked the concept of the book, I highly recommend "The Time Traveler´s Wife" instead of this shallow waste of time. Time Traveler is one of the most romantic stories I´ve ever read about timeless love and is in a class far above Sundays At Tiffany´s.¤ 6) Audio CD Book Sundays at Tiffany's by Hachette Audio. As a little girl, Jane has no one. Her mother Vivienne Margaux, the powerful head of a major New York theater company has no time for her. But she does have one friend--Michael--and no one can see him but her. But Michael can´t stay with Jane forever, and on her eighth birthday, her imaginary friend must leave her.
When Jane is in her thirties, working for her mother´s company, she is just as alone as she was as a child. Her boyfriend hardly knows she´s there and is more interested in what Vivienne can do for his career. Her mother practically treats her as a slave in the office, despite the great success of Jane´s first play, "Thank Heaven." Then she finds Michael--handsome, and just the same as she remembers him, only now he´s not imaginary. For once in her life, Jane is happy--and has someone who loves her back. But not even Michael knows the reason behind why they´ve really been reunited.¤ Page Updated: Robert N. Goolsby, 2-Dec-2008, 16002416549781600241659, 600-250-330-010-080-260-841-541-8
