 Lighten up! I loved this story!!! June 7, 2008
8 out of 14 found this review helpful
I bought this in CD format was loved the voices rendered to the story telling of this sweet story. I liked it so much that I'm ordering a hardback for my library and passing on the CD to my friend. Of course it's a fantasy, but so is Star Wars and Indiana Jones..... I liked them also. I loved the characters in this story... you have to have a good group to make a story work and with Jane, Michael, Jane's looser boyfriend, and her mother, there-in sits the grouping for a great cast of dysfunctionals. How will they pull it together? I couldn't wait each day to get in my car to "read" a bit more of James Patterson's newest book. I am really shocked by some of the negative reviews. I truly loved "Sundays at Tiffany's" and give it my highest rating and recommendation. Please give it a chance and I think you will be pleasantly pleased. JMHO //(*_*)\\
 Ridiculous Premise May 9, 2008

This book could have been a short story and even then it would have been thin. A young girl starved for love, an imaginary friend and her journey into adulthood. I kept waiting for the violin musuc at the end. If you have a pressing need to read this book, borrow it. The print is large with large margins.
This one just proves that we'll read anything....if.... June 13, 2008

... James Patterson's name is on it. Sweet and touching in the beginning, this one takes a "flyer" that is 'way outside the realm of even fanciful fantasy. What a crashing disappointment! What's worse, it makes me think that James and his friend, Gabrielle, are really "funning" with us to find out just how much drivel we will lap up before yelling, "Enough"! By gosh, we're tried and true fans out here, and we've loyally bought book after book, through good and bad; waited out your slumps and celebrated your returns to the groove we love so well. And, we were ready for something different - we think it's okay when you deviate from your norm. We liked Suzanne's Diary and Sam's Letters - but what on earth were you thinking with this one? This one is a waste of time and money, unfortunately. I wish I'd saved my money and pre-ordered your next book. Yeah, once a fan, always a fan, no matter what.
 A disappointment May 10, 2008

This was a huge disappointment. James Patterson writes a great Alex Cross series but some of the other novels just seem to fall short for me. I was anxious for this one to come out...the concept sounded like it could be good. I thought it may be like Suzanne or Nicholas. I'll stick to the more exciting Cross series.
"City of Angels" meets "Cinderella" May 27, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
Extremely light-weight fantasy about a poor little rich girl with an imaginary friend who grows up to be a poor little rich young woman who meets her imaginary friend again and falls in love all over again. Happy ending. Yahoo.
There is virtually no character development of either of the two main characters, Jane and Michael, and absolutely no explanation of who, what or how Michael is,or how he got to be that way, or why Jane still remembers him when all other children of imaginary grown-up playmates promptly forget about their imaginary friends when they turn 9 and the imaginary friend must leave for another "assignment" according to the "rules".
This ground was covered in much greater depth and with much greater poignancy in the film "City of Angels" or the book on which it was based, "Wings of Desire". The only James Patterson in evidence is his trademark 2-page chapters. There is no suspense or tension, or conflict or resolution. Or explanation. Only "... and they lived happily ever after". Presumably this was plotted and written mostly by the co-author, Gabrielle Charbonnet, with coaching on the chapter structure by Patterson.
All in all, very disappointing.
