Review: Wow! Richard Paul Evans has written another amazing book. "A Perfect Day" is definately the best book I have read all year! After reading this page turner, I wanted to read it again. The ending was such a shock! This book helped me put in perspective what really is important in this life. Thank you, Richard Paul Evans, for writing this wonderful book, a book that no one should miss reading.

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: 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.

Summary: The greatest book I've ever read!
Review: Hi there!
I have to say, that I haven't heard from the author Richard Paul Evans before. At my favourite bookstore I saw one of his books "A perfect Day" and I bought it. I didn't know what would happen to me as I read it!
It's one of my first books in the english language and I'm very surprised! I have to say, that's one of the best books I've read before!
It's very emotional and written in a great stile. You'll think about it. You'll be glad with the characters and also sad. Richard Paul Evans is one of the best authors in the american bookword and I'm very glad about reading this book!!!

Summary: Not worth your time or money!
Review: I am writing to warn others about the total predictibility and cheesiness of this book. I read it for a book club and was totally disappointed. I hardly got to know the characters and I never really cared about what happened to them. I refuse to read any more of this author's books - I wish I could get a refund for the time and money I wasted on this one!

Summary: Can't put it down
Review: Richard Paul Evans is an author that either grabs the reader from page one, or turns he/she off completely. I fall into the first category. I was drawn to him from The Christmas Box and found this to be even better.
This simple story of a man who, due to a job loss, takes a risk and goes for his dream, made me stop and take a look at my own life. Was I doing what I felt called to do? Had I sacrificed what I held dear to pursue a dream? Had I caused anyone pain in this endeavor?
While some may dismiss Evans as an idealist whose characters are too wholesome, those who still want to read of moral, thinking people, this is the book for you!

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: Not his best
Review: I have been a big fan of Richard Paul Evans. I enjoyed all his books but this one. I don't feel as if I got to know the characters well enough to find them likeable or even care what happened to them. The story is about a man who is at a job he does not really like and then is laid off and he decides to finaly finish a book he had been working on. Because of the success of the book he suddenly has no time for his wife and daughter and leaves them only to be told by an "angel" that his life will end at the new year. Now he realizes how lucky he was and goes about trying to win back his wife even though he knows he cannot change his fate. I really really did not like the main character. I was not given enough information about his childhood or past to understand why he was so insecure. This story felt like it was slapped together in a very clumsy half hearted way. I almost didn't finish it but being a fan of The Locket and The Christmas box I was hoping for something to make this book. Nothing did.

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: 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.
