Nicholas Sparks is amazing! The Resue is my favorite, Bend in the Road excellent in fact they all are! Once you start reading you can't put it down, so my advice before you start reading a Nicohlas Sparks Novel is to make sure you start it in the morning. As for his next book hurry up! I can't wait any longer. This coming from someone who has probably read 3 books since she left school 6 years ago until Nicholas came along.

I felt like I was amongst the characters, involved in their thoughts and emotions. I couldn't put the book down. It is one of Nicholas Spark's best, and one of the best books I've ever read.

I have read many books in school that my teachers have told me to read and when my teacher suggested this one i thought it is probably just another one i won't like. I couldn't even put it down for a second. i loved it.

Yes, again Nicholas Sparks does it... he writes a book that captures the heart of young and old readers alike , with a sense of love, compassion, and understanding. To me he is one of the greatest writers of modern litature. All of his books have done nothing but made me cry, laugh, and love his work, making me yurn for another book. Great book!!
Kelsey

I thought that this book was one of the best books that I have ever read, along with "Bend in the Road".
