It's been a while since I last read a Nicolas Sparks novel. Just like the last book of his I read (A Walk to Remember) this book too has memorable characters and a heart-rending story.

It has a lot about 9/11 and the war that follows, and I did find the ending to be a little unsatisfactory, but not all love stories end in "Happily Ever After."

I found I had trouble putting the book down till I had finished it. Sparks has not lost his touch with beautiful love stories. Bravo! 4 stars!

Dear John is so moving and has a powerful impact on my life. What I find empowering is they did find love.
This is truly a beautiful book.
I'm in love with this book.

i learned about the pain of love. i learned that love can be everything and nothing. this book had me in tears. but i am not sad the way it ended, i was @ first, but then I realized and i smiled 2 myself. this book ended the right way. with a hint of curiousity. but it happened didn't it, they did fall in love, and that changed eve

Was an over all SAD book...but then again I sort of expected as much from Nicholas Sparks. I wish that John and Savannah could've been together, and for once one of his books would've ended happily. But that's normal, any time I read a Nicholas Sparks novel I know someones going to die or get injured or something extremely sad will happen.
-Nights in Rodanthe
-The Last Song
-DEAR JOHN
-Guardian
-Message in a Bottle
The list goes on LOL

I LOVED IT. Omg, it's amazing! John is an amazing character, from the beginning. Even if, all the things he says he did to his father, you can see he acknowledge the fact that it's mean and hurtful, which doesn't make him a bad person. And, the part where his father.. :'( SADDEST THING EVER. Also, when he truly knew the meaning of true love:
Someone else's happiness over your ♥
That melted my heart like it was on microwave for an hour.
