Customer Reviews

This is his best by far.this

This is a totally different book from him. Freshing, soulful and inspiring at the same time. Highly recommend.

Book of a Lifetime

I have read hundreds if not thousands of books. When I finish a book, I usually pass it along to make room for more books. This one has a forever home on my bookshelf. This book was a tear jerker, hear wrenching, and a page turner. Fabulous read and will definitely read again.

Definitely one of my favorites

I have read many books but this one by far has been the best. I could not put this book down once I started reading it, the characters are addicting the whole story had me in love and even in tears I have never cried reading a story yet but this one had me sobbing like it was my own heartbreak I was feeling … I highly and most definitely recommend this book!!!

An Excellent Story By James Patterson!

This is an emotional page turner! Very well told with amazing characters. I enjoyed this book immensely and would highly recommend...Enjoy!

A MUST read!!!

I had the pleasure of reading this book because of my grandmother, who purchased the book and fell in love with it. When she first gave it to me I was hesitant to read it because it didn't seem like something I would usually choose to read for myself. When I started it I COULD NOT put it down. It instantly draws you in. Every once in a while you stumble across a book that is so beautifully written you feel like you are in the story yourself; this is one of those books. This story is so beautiful and full of emotion. It also has a couple of what I call "Life Lessons". Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas is an all around great book, I would definitely suggest this to anyone who enjoys to read. I, myself, passed the book on to my mom so she can read it as well. :)

A man wrote this?

This is a beautifully written book. As readers we are looking over the shoulder of Katie as she reads Suzanne's Diary which was written for her infant son, Nicholas. Suzanne writes about her love for Nicholas' father and her love for her son. She writes about her dreams and her fears. Katie is reading the diary looking for answers. The question is will the answers be the ones that she is hoping for?This is an amazing book full of old fashioned romance. Once you start reading you won't want to put it down and it is a great book to sit down and read all in one sitting. Don't forget to have the tissues handy. If you read The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks and enjoyed it than this is another love story you'll want to dive right into.

Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas left me Spent!

This book touched me in so many ways. It was sensitive and thought provoking. When I reached the chapter called "Matthew", my heart sunk because I knew at that point what had probably taken place. I was right, but I wasn't shocked or thrown until I began to read that chapter. I have never been so moved by a book. I was absolutely sobbing. Finishing the book was no easy task considering the sobbing lasted long after I was done. I spent the rest of the day, (I read the book in one day, how could I put it down?) thinking of the characters and of James Patterson. Read the jacket from the book, I can't get Mr. Patterson out of my mind. Thank you, Thank you!!

ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL STORIES EVER WRITTEN

James Patterson and his Alex Cross novels have captured the attention of readers around the world. His has written some terrific psychological thrillers and a couple of less acclaimed novels, such as "When the Bough Breaks" which might have been best left in the closet. However, James Patterson's fans will not be the least disappointed in his latest masterpiece. It could not be further from the action packed, Alex Cross, crime novels, but it is every bit as worthy of praise and acclaim.Katie Wilkinson, a book editor, has been left by her boyfriend, Matt. Matt, however, gives Katie a diary written by his first wife, Suzanne, for his son Nicholas. As Katie reads through the diary, she is not only compassionately drawn to Suzanne but develops a better understanding of Matt. The story that evolves will capture your heart and will long be remembered after the final page has been read. You will laugh and you will cry. The book is on the same par as "The Bridges of Madison County" and "Message in a Bottle." The readers will be pleasantly surprised at the new creative ability of Patterson in this sure to be best seller. Do not miss this book, it is packed with emotion and the reader is immediately drawn to the strong characters. This is once again, James Patterson at his finest - worthy of a whole universe of stars!
