My uncle bought this book for my grandmother. I started reading it when I went to visit her.. I couldnt put it down but had to since I was heading home. I went and bought the book myself so I could finish reading it. I couldnt put the book down this time. I dont like to read but when I start a James Patterson book I cant stop reading.. I have 16 book of his so far and plan on buying the rest... James Patterson is an awesome writer and kept me on the edge of my seat.. This book is sad and was hard to follow at first but all made perfect since in the end... THe movie was awesome as well.. I hope to see more books of his made into movies.. I will buy them as well if I can. I cant wait to start my next book but cant decided which one to start reading... (show less)

So... every now and again I enjoy reading a love story... is that a crime? I picked this one up because I was intrigued that James Patterson wrote one. This was a very quick and enjoyable read and the characters were, as always in a love story, were equal parts fantsy and realism. Perhaps the best thing about this read is the way the story is revealed. The idea of reading a diary about your estranged lover written from the point of view of their spouse is quite heart-wrenching and imaginative. This alone makes the book worth reading. Perhaps not the best "first" Patterson book, but worth reading. (show less)

  This is love:

  "You are the explosion of carnations
  in a dark room.
  Or the unexpected scent of pine
  miles from Maine.

  You are a full moon
  that gives midnight it's meaning.
  And the explination of water
  to all living things.

  You are a compass,
  a sapphire,
  a bookmark.
  A rare coin,
  a smooth stone,
  a blue marble.

  You are an old lore,
  a small shell,
  a saved silver dollar.
  You are a fine quartz,
  a feathered quill,
  and a fob from a favorite watch.

  You are a valenti... (show more)

  You are a valentine
  tattered and loved and reread a hundred times.
  You are a medal found in the drawer
  of a once sung hero.
  You are honey
  and cinnamon
  and West Indies spices
  lost from the boat
  that was once Marco Polo's.

  You are a pressed rose,
  a pearl ring,
  and a red perfume bottle found by the Nile.

  You are an old soul from an ancient place,
  a thousand years, and centuries and
  milleniums ago.

  And you have traveled all this way
  just so I could love you.
  I do."

  I am so glad I read the book before the movie! This was the book that started it all.. James Patterson is such a great author.. Can be Ruthless or sweet!

  Wow, I had always compared James Patterson to Stephen King or Tom Clancy for their great mystery thriller- totally not my types of novels but great for films. The lady at Barnes & Noble suggested that I should give this book a try since I do like Nicholas Sparks. These days, I just like reading something funny and silly - just like ... (show more)

  Wow, I had always compared James Patterson to Stephen King or Tom Clancy for their great mystery thriller- totally not my types of novels but great for films. The lady at Barnes & Noble suggested that I should give this book a try since I do like Nicholas Sparks. These days, I just like reading something funny and silly - just like watching a chick flick.

  I felt like I was reading one of Spark’s novels that contain some life lessons in it. In this case, “Everyone should live life as happy as possible, as though it was your last day.” Great story line and plot, still I felt the story could have written a little better. Beginning of the story, you feel sympathy for Katie even though she’s the other woman. As you read the Suzanne’s diary along w/ her, you learned to like Suzanne w/ Matt like Katie did. Of Course, you can already predict that Suzanne will die. I was a bit sad when I heard what happen to Nicholas. I guess life really doesn’t always goes as plan. The end was alright.

  =) Now, I need to get back to my silly “Shopaholic” series… (show less)
