The Christmas Wedding by James Patterson

This book's plot was extremely different from anything I had read before. Gaby is proposed to by three men and decides that yes she is going to get married on Christmas Day. However, no one including the groom knows who she is marrying.
The suitors are all best friends as well as best friends with Gaby and know her personality. They love her for it and are willing to let things play out. During the course of getting ready for the wedding we meet her children and their families. We become familiar with the way they interact amongst themselves, with Gaby and the love that they have for each other.
I loved the way things happened and didn't happen. It was a very easy entertaining read. As always James Patterson has produced characters that I can envision in my mind. A nice Christmas read!

Stephen Kings 11/22/63 review

This was not his regular story but I enjoyed it all the same. Jake goes back in time to stop the Kennedy assasination. Along the way he has many things thrown in his way as the past tries to stop him from changing it. As  he contemplates the changes he has no idea what ramifications await him.


The book is a longer novel and is not a quick overnight read. It took me awhile to finish it however that was not because I was uninterested.

The characters, scenes and times were fully described and felt real. Stephen King does an excellent job of crossing the time barrier not only in speech but the ideology of the 60's. I'm sure that part alone was time consuming but it was mastered perfectly.

A great read!
