Summary: predictable
Review: sometimes corny, lacks depth. unrealistic both before robert became famous and afterward. very light read if you want to pass mindless time. i do not think that this book is the answer for self-reflection. there are better books out there (Mitch Albom) for that.

Summary: Grab a box of kleenex.
Review: This book is one of the best books I have read in 2004. I cried and cried throughout! I can't wait to read more by Mr. Evans. This is one you won't be sorry to add to your library. Rob has the perfect life, but he gets caught up in fame and fortune and loses perspective. He receives awful news and what happens from there will delight you and make you reflect on your own life. This is a book not to be forgotten!

Summary: One of the worst books I've read this year
Review: This book was borderline horrible...it was a constant effort of a Hallmark Moment. Full of cheesy unrealistic dialogue, predictable events, cliche'd happenings. Towards the end I just started skimming because I knew what it was all leading up to.
It strives to be some groundbreaking story of depth, but it's just a repeat of what's been done 1000's of times before. The book gets so cheesy sometimes I was laughing at the moments intended to hit a person in the heart.

Summary: Another great book by this author
Review: This book was excellent. In this book, Robert gets laid off from his job unexpectantly and is encouraged by his wife to pursue his dream of writing. Robert writes a book about his wife, Allyson's, last perfect day with her father. The book is successful, but then, Robert gets too caught up in this success. He almost loses his wife and daughter, but then, a mysterious stranger appears in his life and shows him what is really important. The book is relatively fast paced. But despite the book's fast pace, Richard Paul Evans really delves into the characters and does a good job at explaining why they are as they are. He especially goes into depth about Robert's background with his father and that strained relationship. This books was wonderful in making the reader understand what is important in life, and how Robert did what he could to make amends with the people that he loves, before he thought it might be too late. And we all can learn to enjoy each day and those we love, as we never know if today will be our last day. Congrats to this author for another great book!

Summary: Terrible
Review: This entire novel is a non-sequitur. Don't let the prologue suck you in, the rest doesn't make sense. A happy novel? Hardly. For the middle 3/4 it was predictably full of despair and the underlying anger was cliche. And the overall premise--that a perfect marriage can change so quickly--is ridiculous. Neither Rob nor Allison behaved close to what one might consider realistic. Evans sets them up as the ideal loving couple, but then shows them both to be selfish and egotistical. Ugly. There is no depth, just attempted manipulation of the reader's emotions. The irony is that it is not emotional because, knowing the formula, most of the novel was spent waiting for the obvious. I found myself skipping passages but didn't miss a beat.

Summary: Unforgetable
Review: When Robert Harlan lost his job, he grabbed at the opportunity to fulfill a life-long dream. He wrote a book and as most authors are aware he began the circle of rejections. The constant support of his loving wife and family kept him from giving up. When his novel - A Perfect Day - is accepted for publication and it catapults to the top of the best seller list, Robert's life takes on a whole new existence. Fame and family, however, don't often mix and Robert losses touch with what is really important. The miracle that follows will keep you riveted to Evan's narrative.
