Book Review: Sundays at Tiffany’s by James Patterson and Gabrielle Charbonnet

About:

“Sundays at Tiffany’s” by James Patterson (Website) & Gabrielle Charbonnet is a romance (appropriate for Valentine’s Day).  My wife actually borrowed the book and I picked it up after she was done. I believe it took me about a day to read it.

Thoughts:

Does James Patterson even writes these books?

The foundation of the story sounds very promising.

Jane, poor little rich girl has an imaginary friend as a young girl; her imaginary friend leaves her as she turns the ripe old age of nine – but she never forgot him. As a grown up, Jane is now a poor big rich girl cowering under her mother’s shadow and acting as a doormat for her jerk of a boyfriend until she meets her long lost imaginary friend.
Is she crazy?
Is he an angel?
You’ll have to find out for yourself.

This isn’t a great work of fiction, the adjectives are numerous and sprinkled around generously – but it’s a fun, cheesy and quick read, albeit corny and predictable with a “Star Trek” type ending (everything gets wrapped up in the last few pages).

But sometime you just need one of those.

Synopsis:

Jane is a little girl who is all alone. Her mother, an important Broadway persona and has no time for her. Jane does have a friend, Michael but only she can see him.

As Jane grows up she stays lonely.  One day she meets Michael again and to his surprise, she can see him.

  • This is the only James Patterson I have read and will certainly be my last. It really wasn't my taste, although I did think the premise was interesting.

    • I can't say it would be my last Patterson book but I agree with your comment. The premise was very interesting, the execution - not so much.

  • Great review. I must admit, I'm quite tempted by the film.

    Side note: This cover is SO much better than the paperbacks.

    • The movie does look "all right", doesn't it?
      Not my cup of tea but it would be a nice evening with the wife.

  • Despite his having written a gazillion book, I've never read a Patterson. Seeing his name reminds me of Virginia Andrews (TM!), whose name appeared on new books for years after her death...I think she's still being published today!
