Pat Peoples has a theory. The theory is this: his life is actually a movie produced by God. And Pat's God-given mission in life is to become physically fit and emotionally literate, whereupon God will ensure the movie is a romcom, complete with happy ending which, for Pat, means the return of his estranged wife Nikki, from whom he's currently having some 'apart time.' It might not come as any surprise to learn that Pat has spent several years in a mental-health facility. When Pat leaves hospital and goes to live with his parents, however, everything seems changed: no one will talk to him about Nikki; his old friends now have families; his beloved football team keep losing; his new therapist seems to be recommending adultery as a form of therapy. And he's being haunted by Kenny G. There is a silver lining, however, in the form of tragically widowed, physically fit, and clinically depressed Tiffany, who offers to act as a go-between for Pat and his wife. If only Pat will give up watching football, agree to perform in this year's Dance Away Depression competition, and promise not to tell anyone about their‘contract'. Easy, really . . .

3.0 "Poradnik pozytywnego myślenia" Matthew Quick
Czasem trzeba wziąć na warsztat coś lekkiego. Coś, co nie będzie się wiązało z sci-fi, fantastyką, magią, horrorem czy też kryminałem. Tym razem, postanowiłem, że mój wybór padnie na coś o czym absolutnie nie słyszałem. No dobra wiem tylko tyle, że był film, którego i tak nie miałem ochoty oglądać, ...

Jest to powieść mega pozytywna. Pomimo tego, co Pata spotkało, on wciąż wierzył w szczęśliwego zakończenie. Jego wiara w miłość, happy end była niesamowita."Poradnik pozytywnego myślenia" czyta się szybko. Czas przy tej lekturza mija przyjemnie. A sama książka jest wspaniała... i lekka... i przyjemn...
