I don't know why but this just wasn't one of my favorite Spark's stories.

Dear John is such a good book about young love, and the end was a little disappointing to me considering that I read The Notebook first. The book was so good I loved it, it will forever be one of my favorite books that I will continue to read over and over again.

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.

I love Nicholas Sparks, but this book was slow in the beginning and I felt that there needed to be more character building. I didn't like the ending. I was disappointed with the movie as well. I was disappointed with this book after reading it. ...more
