Amazon.com Review
Talk about a change of pace! Renowned suspense writer and Edgar Award winner James Patterson, author of such bestsellers-turned-blockbuster-movies as Along Came a Spider and Kiss the Girls, exposes his sensitive side in his new novel, Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas. Katie Wilkinson's boyfriend Matt dumps her; not a total cad, he leaves her a gift, a diary kept by Suzanne, his first wife, for their son Nicholas. Though it's not exactly the diamond ring Katie was hoping for, she's unable to make herself destroy the diary--against her better judgment, Katie begins to read. Drawn against her will into the other woman's world, Katie learns of physician Suzanne's heart attack at age 35 and her decision to slow down, accomplished by a move to Martha's Vineyard and a new job as a simple country doctor. When love comes knocking, in the form of housepainter-cum-poet Matt Harrison, Suzanne is ready to listen to her newly repaired heart. Though painful for Katie, she begins to know and like Suzanne and her infant son Nicholas. Suzanne's devotion to Matt and their son shines through, as well as her plainspoken wisdom. While the journal helps Katie understand Matt, whether they can write a future together remains in question. --Alison Trinkle

I was bored. I skimmed through a lot of the book. Did not hold my interest and it was predictable.
 I Finished It - Don't Ask Me Why November 30, 2008

Given that I rather enjoyed Sam's Letters to Jennifer, I thought I would have a similar affinity for Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas. I have often been wrong in my life; for instance, when I assumed this.
I knew what was going to happen in this book from about the fifth page. There wasn't a single surprise in this novel, effusive jacket-blurbs to the contrary notwithstanding. I saw every situation coming from a mile away. I would have thrown it against the wall in disgust, except that I kept hoping that it would improve, and that I would leave it with the feeling that I took away from Sam's Letters to Jennifer. No such luck. Blessedly, the font is so large and the chapters so short that it is only about as long as a good-sized New Yorker article (and isn't nearly as demanding), so it only takes about an hour to read. Barring a rave review from someone I trust, it will be the last hour I spend with Patterson.
 The Lesson of the Five Balls November 24, 2008
My boss was cleaning up one day and going through a lot of papers and she asked me had I ever read the Lesson of the Five Balls? I said no and proceeded to read the short paragraph. I was floored because I was right in the middle of losing someone I loved dearly with whom I had not spoken with for almost two years due to both of us being stubborn. I shared with my boss at how strange it was that she found this and shared it with me now. At the bottom was the name of this book where the Lesson came from, and my boss thought I should look into reading the book. Well I just finished reading it and it is truly amazing, and a must read!! I have never read any of James Patterson's work before and from what I can gather this seems to have been a little different from his usual work. All I can say is this. I don't believe in coincidences anymore. From another book by another author, Squire Rushnell, called "When God Winks at You", I believe that my boss finding that sheet of paper that day which lead me to read the book is God winking at me, letting me know He knows exactly what is going on with me. Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas wakes us up to what is important in this life, and I believe one can only come away with a little more wisdom after reading this book!

Katie Wilkinson is left by her boyfriend, Matt. Katie cannot figure out why he left. She thought they were happy together. However, Matt gives Katie a diary that was written by his first wife, belonging to his son, Nicholas.
As Katie turns the pages of this diary, she soon becomes involved with Suzanne's emotions and becomes seemingly more aware of Matt's personality. This book will have you laughing and crying, and as you learn the meaning behind this book, it will be one that you will not ever forget. This book has love and passion, and will make any mother cry. It is a true romance.
