So this was my second attempt at reading a Nicholas Sparks book and honestly I just don't see what all the fuss is about. The first book of his I read was the notebook, and after loving the movie sooo much I was very excited to read the book. But it just wasn't anything special, and I felt that it fell way flat. So I figured that maybe I was just biased since I saw the movie first. So I decided to give Dear John a try, thinking that I may enjoy it more since it also has a military theme to it. Nope.... just didn't happen that way.
I found the book boring and predictible. Everything that occured in the storyline, you could see happening. It was one of those books that I wanted to be done with and just read to finish so that I could move on to something better. Very blah. I don't think I will be attempting to read any other books by Nicholas Sparks, guess I'll just stick with the movie versions from now on.

Thank you!!! I don't know the fuss either, people keep recommending him and I have yet to figure out what the big thrill is.
I did not think Dear John was that great.
I enjoyed the Notebook and the Wedding (listened to it on book cd), but I haven't really been able to get into anything else of his...
