One Word Summary: Love conquers allMore Words: Sparks is a popular author. A lot of his work has been sold to Hollywood. He writes romances. Some scenes are incredibly romantic only his characters are a little too understanding/reasonable/mature and therefore not fully formed. Mr. Sparks also likes to hand hold his audience through really simple plot lines, not that the explanatory information is useless. This novel was typical of his work, good enough to finish but not enough to remember. To be more clear, I’m not a fan but I have to keep tasting the olive. Stories that take less than two hours to read are irresistible. My hugest criticism, of course, is the glamour shots. Every Nicolas Sparks book features a huge glamour shot of him- all different except for his prominent bicep. The library inevitably covers his face with bar codes and stickers which warrants an bark from me. In one of his acknowledgements he even thanked his photographer. Maybe he was having a joke on himself. It was a joke? I laughed. Anyhow Nick- spend more time writing and less time primping!
