Book Reviews of Sundays at Tiffany's
Book Review: "City of Angels" meets "Cinderella"
Summary: 2 Stars
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.
