Having written books that I find are extremely hard to live up to, Nicholas Sparks has a tall order to fill, in my book. Pun intended. :)
ReplyDeleteDear John did not disappoint me. If you are looking for an endearing, heartfelt love story with a twist, this is an excellent book for you. As usual, Sparks completes a story that is believable and relatable and of course heartbreaking. Althought the characters and plot are not very memorable, (as opposed to Noah and Allie from The Notebook) Sparks successfully captures the an essance of what true love means. An easy, enjoyable read, I recommend it!
your words are very similar to the back of the book
