This is "City of Angels" if it had worked out	Customer Rating:
At times a bit sweet and charming, this book just doesn't deliver. It's vague to the point of being irritating, and the end seems cobbled together and rushed. It's hopeful, but there is something just weird about the adult relationship between the two characters. Check it out from the library. I'd love to sell my copy and recoup the money I wasted.

Immensely Enjoyed This Book

Customer Rating:

Despite some of the other reviews on here, I loved this book. The story starts out with Jane being a young, not so attractive little girl who happens to have a mother who is more wrapped up in her own materialistic world, that Jane creates or meets her imaginary friend Michael. Michael cares for Jane very much, talks to her, keeps her company, etc. but of course, is only seen by Jane. The reader soon learns that Michael is more than just "imaginary" but rather a real angel who is assigned to young children, but must leave them once they turn 9 yrs old. And that is what happened for Jane. However, although the children supposedly forget their "guardian angels" who are assigned to them, Jane does not forget Michael. Fast foward 23 years and Michael stumbles across Jane by accident. He has never forgotten her, but assumes she has forgotten him. He follows her around town w/o her knowledge as she goes about her business and her life. The reader begins to see how much Michael has missed Jane. Eventually she catches sight of someone who looks like Michael as she passes a mirror in a hotel. To make a long story short, they hook up again, Michael has not aged, but Jane has. They start to date. Things begin to happen to Michael making him as well as Jane believe that Michael is becoming a mortal vs. an angel. Overall, I loved this story. It was romantic, fantastic in the sense that we know it could never be true, but touching. My only frustration was the authors hinted quite loudly that Jane had a serious medical condition, that was never explained later in the story. The authors built it up in one scene to create anxiety in the reader and to make that part more compelling, and then it was just dropped! Very strange.

City of Angels meets Drop Dead Fred

Customer Rating:

The good about the book: 1.) Interesting premise regarding imaginary friends. 2.) Quick read. 300 pages that probably should have been 150 in normal cirumstances. 3.)A lot of "aww" moments within the love story. The BAD: 1.) Older imaginary friend has lover. Michael, knew Jane as a child for 5 years (from 4-9). Yet he falls head over heels in love with her after knowing her as an adult for 2 days? Isn't it once you know someone as a kid, they're always a kid to you? Everytime it's mentioned about him noticing her acting childlike "she had a child's curiosity.", it made me cringe. 2.) Stereotypical characters. Jane's Mom is overbearing and super critical. Michael is the perfect man, stereotypically, think of what the perfect man is to a woman (good listener, sensitive, loves kids, handsome, good in bed, loves your flaws). Perfect is boring, Michael is boring. He has no weight as a character whatsoever. Jane, is miserable without a good man in her life to show her how to live and run her life. Ugh. 3.) Never explained imaginary friend position. Michael is an imaginary friend but he lives and interacts as any other person, BUT he can be invisible when he wants to, snaps to get money. Huh? When Jane asks him he says "I don't know." I don't know either. All in all, it's ok.

Disappointed	Customer Rating:
I did not like this book. I kept reading hoping something would catch my interest. James Patterson is one of my favorite authors and does not need a co-author. He does much better alone.

Prompt Delivery	Customer Rating:
The service was extremely prompt. I received my book within a day or so. I will definately order again from them. Thank you
