I was close to grudgingly admitting that this book wasn’t terrible, and then the end happened. Everything was too perfect and too sweet, and as a result it was all a little creepy. There was no conflict other than Katie’s abusive husband.…

I was weary of picking up a Nicholas Sparks book as I hear his stories tend to have a heartbreaking and depressing ending (which often seems to be the case with the movies that come from his books), but I decided to pick up the book,…

I really enjoyed this book much more then I did the movie. I love how Sparks truly develops his characters and fleshes them out a lot more than other authors.

I watched the movie, which was entertaining, but I agree with some of the other folks who have commented that they liked the book better. I thought the character of Kevin was so much more well-developed in the book and liked the way…

On the one hand, it had high drama, romance, an energy-filled climax and even an unexpected twist in the ending. On the other hand, there was so much stretching and pulling to stuff in a ton of excess words.
Another great story by Nicholas Sparks. A little reminiscent of "Sleeping with the Enemy" movie, but with an entirely different twist. Great love story with an amazing and unexpected ending!! You won't be disappointed reading this…

Oddly enough, I did enjoy this book. Not my style of reading, and though I guessed what the ending would bring, Sparks did a good job of keeping me on the edge of my seat. A good read for when you're bored.
