My favorite author of all time is Nicholas Sparks. The first book I ever read by him was The Notebook. This is a never-ending love story that will fill your eyes with tears, and your heart with love. It draws you in in the beginning, making you guess who the story is really about. After a few twists and turns, and a few heart-stopping sad moments, the ending is sure to please. If you've ever seen the movie, you'll have a surprise at the end of the book. They're different endings. This book is set in the time of war, and right before it. One summer a couple of kids find love, and what happens when that summer is over and they must go back to their normal lives? Can their love last miles, hurdles, and most of all - time? Can they find each other after so long apart and will it be the same? All of these questions and more are answered in this wonderful book. And I must say, I love this book immensely. This was one of the firsts in my collection of books and right now, I've loaned it to somebody and it was like giving away my child (or how I think that would feel if I had any children). I take very good care of my books and in my quest to share these amazing reads with the people I care about, I can't get around letting them borrow it.
Anyway, I must caution the squeamish and modest on this book - it does have a couple love scenes. But it's about a love story and the power of love! There's bound to be a few dramatic love scenes.
My fellow bookworms - I hope you give this one a chance if you haven't already. Nicholas Sparks is an amazing writer and with that kind of skill - who wouldn't love this book?
I have never heard of this author but I have heard of the movie. Is this title part of a series or just a single story, and is the typical genre of book that Mr. Sparks writes? I have to admit that I have not been an avid reader for some time but I am interested in finding talented authors that are not mainstream merely for popularity sake. I have been told several times to see the movie, do you suggest I see it before I read the book or after?
ReplyDeleteAlways read the books before seeing the movie. Movies are good and all, but the books are so definitely better. This is actually the first part of two books, the second is called The Wedding. Nicholas Sparks is a very talented writer and has many books, they are all love stories, but each is so very different in their own way. Some are about older people finding love, some are about young love, some are about tragedy. I feel like with him, you will be able to find something that you like. It's a great place to start.
