Sam's Letters to Jennifer - Review


Book : Sam's Letters to Jennifer
Author : James Patterson
A Gist :

Have you ever gotten a letter that changed your life completely? It happened to me once. I still can feel the urgency that overtook me as I opened the envelope and the hunger I felt for whatever that letter would say. It seemed as if my entire life hung in the balance as I read.

Sam's Letters to Jennifer is a novel about that kind of drama. In it, a woman is summoned back to the town where she grew up. And in the house where she spent her most magical years she finds a series of letters addressed to her. Each of those letters is a piece of a story that will upend completely the world she thought she knew - and throw her into a love more powerful than she ever imagined could be possible. Two extraordinary love stories are entwined here, full of hope and pain and emotions that never die down.

I hope you'll enjoy this novel as much as I've enjoyed writing it. It's not often that you get a letter that changes your life. But it should happen to everyone at least once.

-- James Patterson

Rating : 3/5 - Good Reading

Review :

Laced with mystery, Sam's Letters To Jennifer combines two unforgettable love stories in a novel that's absolutely impossible to put down.

The Time Traveler's Wife - Review


Book : The Time Traveler's wife
Author : Audrey Niffenegger
Yr Pub : 2003
A Gist : In The Time Traveler's Wife, Audrey Niffenegger tells a touching love story with a new twist. Henry DeTamble is a librarian who suffers from a genetic disorder (its clinical name is Chrono-Displacement Disorder)that causes him to shift backward and forward through time. Without a moment's notice, he disappears, leaving behind his clothes and everything else, and arrives naked at another time in his life. Sometimes he even meets a different version of himself. He discovers that he has met Clare Abshire since she was a young girl, making several visits with her throughout her life. Clare falls in love with a man who can't control when he comes and goes. Far from being a science fiction novel, Audrey Niffenegger uses the time travel device as a way of drawing out her characters who want to overcome all obstacles in their love.

Rating : Highly Recommended


My Review : a real, time spinner... for a debut-a very good piece of work,u will never know when u got lost in time.

Other official reviews:

“A powerfully original love story. BOTTOM LINE: Amazing
trip.”
—PEOPLE

“To those who say there are no new love stories, I
heartily recommend The Time Traveler’s Wife, an enchanting
novel, which is beautifully crafted and as dazzlingly
imaginative as it is dizzyingly romantic.”
—SCOTT TUROW

"Niffenegger's beautiful prose and sure-handed way with character development lifts The Time Traveler's Wife beyond the realm of romance potboilers and into the mainstream of literature that will last."
