Isn't it Lucky!

I enjoy reading mysteries and detective novels. James Patterson is one of my favorite authors and I have read several of his books. As I began to listen to Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas my first impression was, "what is a mystery writer doing writing a "girly" book?" But as I listened I was struck by his ability to write with simplicity, fluidity, and a deep heartfelt sincerity as he wrote a mother?s heart for her precious child. He wrote with a depth of love and with a fullness of life that I could only wish I had been able to communicate to my kids when they were young. I have not been so moved emotionally since I read Tilly by Peretti. I picked up Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas thinking it was another detective story. It wasn't! Isn't it lucky!

Beautiful Story. Sad but wonderful.

A novel of true love and triumph. Just shows the resilience of the human soul.

Beautiful story!

I enjoyed this book very much.
Quick read, well worth the listen! Beautiful, sad, real.

Unexpected & Wonderful

Absolutely could not stop listening to this book. Narration was superb. Made me smile, laugh and cry.

Everything was Wonderful

What a wonderfully written and narrated story. I have heard others by James Patterson that were as touching as this book, i.e., Sam's Letters to Jennifer. That's why I wasn't surprised to hear a heartfelt written book by him.
For those of you who might want to listen to this book, I recommend it highly. However; be prepared to hear and feel deep sadness.
Everything about this book was a pleasure for me to listen to.

Touching

I was captivating from the beginning to end.

it was just so sad heartbreaking

too sad for me I prefer happier books.
while the end was good it was just way way way too sad

A good

I usually prefer books with a little more length and meat to them. This was a good book to listen to in between the more intense heavier books. Short, good story, good narration. I would definately put this in the category of chick-lit. It is not your typical Patterson book. It's far more like a Harlequin Romance. It probably would have made a good "made for T.V. movie". Not a waste of time, but not a book you'll think about for too long after it's over.

Not as mushy as it sounds...

I saw the title and thought, "C'mon!" But I was surprised. This is well written tale, that will keep you interested until the end. Well worth the time. Heart-renching at times, but a great listen.

Nice one!

Of course I love all his books. If you do too, then you won't be disappointed with this one.
