Summary: Very cheesy, predictable, mindless read
Review: I was very interested to read a book from this author as I have never read anything before and saw a few very good reviews. I was so dissappointed when I actually started reading this book. It is SO predictable, and SO mindless. It is so easy to read and requires so little attention that it is a great book when you don't have the time to actually sit down and concentrate on a good book. I only actually finished it because I just had to see how it ended. Of course, it ended exactly as you think it would. No surprises.

Summary: EXCELLENT
Review: i've bought this book over my winter break, and hadn't actually begun to read it until a few days ago, and it only took me one day to finish it. the story touches the heart, as did evans' other novels.... it is by far one of the best books that evans has ever written.

Summary: Fun twist at the end!
Review: Loved it! A great story that helped me remember what really matters in life. I was always waiting for the "mysterious stranger" to reappear because his insights are what make this book really sing. The ending really got me... don't give it away!

Summary: Wrong Narrator
Review: Perhaps this story is better than I give it credit. This narrator is whiney, goofy, annoying, does horrible female voices and in places appears not to have pre-read the context of what he's reading. I will start over with a hard copy, but if you're thinking of purchasing the audiobook, don't do it!

Summary: Self-help in a fictional form
Review: Recommended by my mother, I waited a month at our local library for this one, and it was well worth it. I managed to put it down after the first 100 pages before picking it up again to not put it down. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes to read, but especially to those fathers and/or husbands who think they have it all figured out. It definitely opens they eyes, and drains them as well.

Summary: Superb!!
Review: Richard Paul Evans has once again written a story that cannot help but touch all our lives. A "Perfect Day", depicts Evans at his best. In brief, the story is about a truly happily married couple with a young daughter who struggle to make ends meet. By means of some unfortunate events that occur, they hit pay dirt and their lives are transformed and so is their happiness. The story often makes the reader try and understand what life and love really mean.
When you think you know how the story will end, guess again because you will be delightfully surprised by it's twist.
A great book to read and a great book to reflect!!!

Summary: Be Careful What You Wish For!
Review: Richard Paul Evans in his newest book, A Perfect Day, has written a title which will appeal to his old and new readers alike. Some will also recall Evans's rise to fame with the enormous popularity of his first book, The Christmas Box, which was self published for family and friends. The book was also made into a TV movie starring Richard Thomas and Maureen O'Hara. Evans also recently chronicled the history of The Christmas Box recently in his book called The Christmas Box Miracle which for his previous readers showed a glimpse into a writer's struggle and what appears to be overnight fame. Readers of a Perfect Day, therefore, should not be surprised if they consider that this book may not seem either coincidental or a thinly veiled autobiography when remembering back to Evan's Life.Robert is a young man when he meets and marries the woman of his dreams. early in their married life Robert works at various jobs while his wife Allyson cares for their daughter and home. In his free time Robert pursues his dream by writing what he hopes one day will be a best-selling novel. Success does come finally but at a bitter price when Robert finds himself on endless book tours and sending less and less time at home. Although very lonely, Robert does respond positively to the many new people he meets. The temptation of a beautiful woman and the lure of a movie deal may threaten both his marriage and the very ideals and values he once had. Then Robert meets a man with almost mystical qualities who not only knows all about him but also predicts his imminent death. Who is this man and how will Robert settle his life if in fact he only has a matter of days left to him. Although I did find the ending somewhat predictable, I also felt that the author provided a good journey. I also found the characters enjoyable and wondered how people who do achieve great success aren't blinded by the lights of fame and fortune. While I hoped this book would be as inspirational as the titles from The Christmas Box Trilogy, I did think A Perfect Day was a good read. Despite that a similar theme has filled countless other books notably You Can't Go Home Again and Youngblood Hawke, it did teach me once again valuable lessons about the true meaning of love and success. As I usually do after reading Evans's newest book, I look forward to the next one.
