Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Unlike Patterson's Alex Cross thrillers, this sentimental tale does not translate well to audio. The plot twists seem all the more absurd when read aloud, and the audiobook's maudlin music, inserted during the story's poignant moments, is as distracting and disturbing as a TV laugh track. Jennifer, a newspaper columnist who's grieving the death of her husband, has more reason to mourn when her beloved grandmother, Sam, falls into a coma. Jennifer rushes to Sam's home in Lake Geneva, Wis., where she finds a packet of letters addressed to her. The letters detail her grandmother's life story, including an affair she had with a mysterious man. Jennifer takes comfort in the letters, and at the same time, embarks on her own romance with Brendan, an old friend. Heche's thin, mousy voice is perfect for the perpetually worried Jennifer, but she rarely varies her intonation, not even for Brendan's dialogue. Alexander does a better job as Sam, conveying the elderly woman's concern for Jennifer, but her performance isn't sufficient to elevate this flawed audiobook.

From AudioFile

Anne Heche drives the emotion of this book, deftly delivering a roller coaster ride of plot twists and turns. Two romances wind through the chapters, each as important as the other, and though they bounce back and forth, the shifts are smooth and seamlessly presented. After Jennifer reads the nearly 100 letters from Sam, she observes, "How many of us know the true stories of our parents and grandparents? What are we but our stories?" Anne Heche is delightfully whimsical overall, but when her voice falters with emotion, listeners will grab for their tissues.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very touching., Jul 11 2006
By Customer (Calgary, Alberta) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sam's Letters to Jennifer (Audio Cassette)
This was a great book. I'm use to reading the authors books about mystery so I was on the fence about reading this one. It was a great love story. The unique flow of the book made me want to keep reading and was very hard to put down. I would recommend this heart touching book to anyone.

4.0 out of 5 stars I LOVED this book
Don't go to MacDonalds and ask for filet mignon--it ain't gonna happen. By the same token, don't buy a James Patterson novel and expect Steinbeck or Hemingway. Read more
