I normally read murder/mystery stories, so this was a change of pace for me. I'd only read one other Sparks title years ago, which I enjoyed. Friends of mine read everything that Sparks writes, so I decided to give his new book a try. I really liked it. A book has to catch my interest right away to get me to read it and this book does. The more I got into the story, the quicker I wanted to finish it to see how it ended. Yes, it was a tear jerker at the end; with Sparks excellent writing skills, I felt like I was part of the story. I have since passed the book onto friends to read and it will end up at our high school library for others to read once they're done. I highly recommend this book.
Another fantastic book from Nicholas! Here you have a story of divorced parents, a rebellious teenage daughter and her brother. Veronica better known as "Ronnie" lives in New York City with her mom, and her brother Jonah. Dad-Steve was once a teacher at Jilliard and a former concert pianist. Ronnie played at Carnegie Hall when she was 13, but has quit playing. She is also starting to get into trouble. Dad has moved to a little beach town in North Carolina. The kids are sent to spend the summer with him. Partly because dad is dying. Can he get through to the kids. Posted by BOOK REVIEWS BY SANDY blogspot
Mr. Sparks once again takes the reader inside the head and heart of the characters. He has a rare talent of insight, understanding and ability to tell a story in such a way you want it to go on after the last page. While his works deal with romantic love, parent and child love and sheer love of finding understanding in one's self, at all ages and stages of life, he never fails to connect with his reader while entertaining at the same time. This latest book does not disappoint.
This book was really good. This book is great for summer because it talks a lot about the love between two people. It’s a really passionate love story that can happen to anyone going on vacation. It was pretty sad too. The romance in the story just puts a smile on your face. 95% of the time something good is always happening. I just love reading books that make you smile when something good happens. I knew the movie was going to be different than the book because of how the book is written and the events. The main character Ronnie changes throughout the story and changes her attitude towards her father because she finds out that he has been sick so she does everything she can to help him.
I love all Nicholas Sparks books as he is a great author.His books are being made into movies which really impresses me and they are very loving and kind books. I can't believe a man writes these books but he is excellent. I have read every single book he has written and love them all. Keep them coming Nicholas Sparks. Please don't ever quit writing your wonderful books as I enjoy them so very much.
I just love Nicholas Sparks and have read all of his books. This in the top 2 that he has written. He is just an awesome writer. I can't wait for another book to come out of his. I cried the most I have ever cried in a book. I think it hit home with me and brought out a lot of hidden emotions. He is just the best. 3 Weeks with my Brother was his best and this was the 2nd best. He is so real.
Great book for teens. tear-jerker
