Book Reviews of Sundays at Tiffany's
Book Review: Wonderful read but not the normal Patterson!
Summary: 3 Stars
If you are a Patterson fan but read the review and think "mmmm, that sounds a bit namby-pamby" then you are no different to me. I was dubious about the story, as it is so unlike anything James Patterson has done before.
The story focuses on Jane Margaux as a child and her imaginary friend. Her mum is a powerful figure on Broadway and makes preciosu little time for Jane. The only time that Jane spends with her mother is on a Sunday when they take the trip to Tiffany's to admire all the jewellery. It is there that she meets her imaginary friend Michael. With Jane's 9th birthday coming up fast Jane is devastated when Michael breaks the news that he will be leaving her for good. The story fast forwards to when Jane is in her thirties and is no different to when she was young. She is succesful in her career as a playwright but her mother is still the imposing and overbearing figure she once was. Jane then meets a man named Michael, who bears a frightening resemblance to her childhood imaginary friend. Will things work out for Jane or will things take a turn for the worse?
I have read all of James Patterson's work and to be honest my first impression was one of shock when I read this. Was this really by the same man who could scare me only 4 or 5 chapters in with a thrilling tale about serial killers. Yet here he was doing it, and to be honest doing it pretty well. The story is a completely different storyline to anything I have read before making it a refreshing read. The book was a little on the short side for my liking but didn't lessen the enjoyment of the read itself. All in all, I was left wondering how to measure my enjoyment.
Overall I think the writing was good, the storyline something new and the style of writing easy to read. I must admit that it was slightly disconcerting to read a James Patterson book with a real life love story and romance throughout!
