Mary Higgins Clark has created perfect plots and a little addedromance to her short stories. The two main charectors are perfectly created. They show emotions and compassion and brawn and brilliance. They are not too smart or lovey-dovey, but they are not dumb or cold. The stories comply with whay happens in the world today. The author has made a story of the real world.

Having read a few of Mary Higgins Clark's books I could not believe that this book was written by the same person. I have not been able to finish this book; it's so very very boring! This is a miserable collection of short stories and a complete waste of precious paper! I wish I could send it back for a refund - reason : lack of content, please recycle!

My gal Sunday was very unimaginative. I kept hoping that the book would get better but it never did. This is the first book by Mary Higgins Clark that I have read, and I was not impressed. The charecters in the book were boring and they really weren't anyone I would want to met because they weren't interesting enough. I would not recommend this book to anyone unless you need a book to help you fall asleep.

I have never read anything by this author, but the radio in my car is dying and i picked up the audiotape version of this book at the library. Thank God it was abridged! "Barbie and Ken play detective" should be the subtitle. Never in the history of literature has there been a more affected set of characters. I wanted to kill that butler! I think i would rather listen to static on my radio than play any of her books again.

Give me a break! Although I do like mHC's work I found this to be a bore. mHC is a good writer and when she wants can really draw a reader in but one irritating quality she has is that she uses uppity characters once too often; does the well to do only have fun? This is my one big complaint and since this book was such a bore to begin with using characters such as Henry and Sunday well that really did it to me. boring! mary honey there are others in the world besides snobs you can use to write about.

It was 4 different stories. Had the same main people but different stories. I have read better books by this author.

I picked up this book at the library, as it was the only one by Mary Higgins Clark that I hadn't read yet (because I had read such poor reviews). It was definitely WORTH the read. The mysteries are quick and easy....no 300+ pager here. The only bad thing was that I really didn't care for the ending on the last story. it just kind of ended very suddenly, when things were getting good. Overall though, this book was a quick read and was enjoyable. I loved the characters, although I couldn't relate to that terrible yearning to go home and make my husband a gourmet meal!

I totally disagree with some of the reviews. Mary Higgins Clark has created perfect plots and a little added romance to her short stories. The two main charectors are perfectly created. They show emotions and compassion and brawn and brilliance. They are not too smart or lovey-dovey, but they are not dumb or cold. The stories comply with whay happens in the world today. The author has made a story of the real world.

I didntttt like this book since everything is just too good tobe true, a fantastic expresident, a beutiful, talented congresswoman. They have no negative personal qualities at all and the worst is when congresswoman Sunday is kidnapped and even Saddam Hussein is eager to help. Please, be realistic! However, the book is written with humour and the stories are quite OK besides what I wrote above.

I am only in the 8th grade and chose this book to do for a book report. I had read Mary Higgins Clark before and enjoyed her writing style. I think My Gal Sunday was one of her bests. (One of them.) I love that she starts the storys over as if it was a whole separate book. You could even read the stories out of order if you would like. (Which I Did.) I think it was great the she could get 4 different stories out of the same characters. I read other collections of mysteries, and this was definately the best one yet.
