Summary: Surprisingly enjoyable
Comment: Kate Wilkinson has found the man of her dreams Matt Wolfe, but just as their relationship has flourished, Matt leaves, leaving behind a diary. Matt explains to read the diary will be painful, but if Kate is to truly understand everything she must read it.
Kate begins the diary written by a woman named Suzanne for her son Nicholas. Page after page, Kate is drawn into this woman's love story for her young son, and to her shock, realize the boy's father is Matt!
Painful to believe, but determined to get all the answers, Kate continues to read, only to discover the shocking secret that has Matt pulling away.
Kate has never backed down from anything, and even after finishing the diary, she sets out to get the man she loves.
When I first received my review copy of 'Suzanne's Diary For Nicholas' I thought, "Oh no, another thriller writer bites the dust", but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The story unfolds at a fast-pace, giving the reader the opportunity to finish it in a couple of hours. The story of Suzanne is heart wrenching, and tragic, and at the same time uplifting, as it incorporates itself into the lives of Matt and Kate.
James Patterson is a very good writer, and while many of his thriller fans will be somewhat shocked at this sudden departure, he does manage to do the impossible, switch genres successfully. Mr. Patterson has written a novel very similar to the works of Nicholas Sparks, and fans of this type of fiction, as well as fans of Patterson will be rushing out to buy this.

Summary: If you like Nicholas Sparks.....you'll love this!
Comment: I am a big fan of James Patterson's - and have read all his books. Imagine my surprise when I learned he had written a love story! But I was not surprised for long - I was to engrossed in the book - and I read it in one sitting. The story flashes back and forth between a modern day woman, Katie, recently jilted by her long-term love Matt and the diary of Matt's wife to their son Nicholas. The story is remarkable and evokes to mind the writing style of Nicholas Sparks - especially The Notebook and Message in a Bottle. So, if you like those books, you will love this one. It is also interesting to note that Patterson draws from a real-life experience, which is another reason why this is such an enchanting, inspiring read.

Summary: This book is not as bad as it might seem at first glance!
Comment: For a year now, this book jumps out at me from the bookstore shelves, as I'm always looking for Martha's Vineyard fiction, but the premise just seemed too corny. (Not to mention that I didn't know it actually WAS set, in part, on MV)
You know right from the begining that Katie, having read the diary, is left touched beyond words, so I was immediately drawn into the question - "What is in the diary?".
I liked that the story was not just a diary, but interspersed with details of the life of Katie, who is in possession of the book. Even the diary chapters read more like a novel, and I was left wondering why on earth a mother would write some of these things to her baby son?!
It is an easy, quick read, and a little over the top in the way a love story tends to be, somewhat in the vein of any Nicholas Sparks novels. A great read for a day at the beach.
