Quote-leftA great read, as usual, from Sparks. Didn't see the end coming -- it was perfect!
I always end up crying when reading his books. Usually it's not until the end. But in this case, I was crying by page 25.

It's a wonderful story modeled after Sparks' own son, who had difficulty learning to speak and decipher language. This child will captivate your heart, and so will this tragic love-story. It will also gain your respect for fire fighters who put their lives on the line each and every day.Quote-right

Quote-leftNot bad, but pretty typical Nicholas Sparks. No real surprises.

I don't feel that Sparks writes parents well - he exaggerates them too much and should stick to young couples in love.Quote-right
