Thoughts on this book?

For quite a while now, I've lost all my interest in his books. He never brings anything new, nor does he changes or improves his writing style! He's like the Hallmark of novels- hopelessly romantic happily ever afters!

Annette mathews (annettesara) | 212 comments I loved this book :) Finished reading it just now :) Hope to have a wonderful discussion on this book :)

Nina (niisku80) I have read this before a couple years ago, it was ok but I can't say I loved it. I have loved many of the Sparks books so it was a bit of an disapontment.

I loved this book. Read it long back though. Typical Nick Sparks books :)

Firoz Khan (readcreed) | 20 comments I read it few months ago and had mixed emotions throughout the read. At some level I did like the book but I think spark's done better then this one.

IShita | 1528 comments I felt the movie was better than the book.

I agree- he's done better than this. Best of Me is one such. But I get quite bored of his books. He never brings anything new- two strangers fall in love under strange circumstances, separate due to some strange reasons and then get back together after a while. All of them ending happily ever after!
Neither is his writing style very appealing. It's like he never bothers to read his manuscripts twice. Just penning down what comes to his mind without caring for how he does it.

The movie was amazing. Found it better than the book to be honest.

Annette mathews (annettesara) | 212 comments I found the book to be good too. The ending could have been different (view spoiler)

Exactly...the ending was sad.

Annette mathews (annettesara) | 212 comments I thought savannah was selfish. John is not perfect which makes him more real :)
