Oh, wow! This is one of the best books by Mr. Sparks for sure. Not that I'm a fan. He's books are usually hit or miss for me but this one really hit me. I could not put it down.
I have seen the movie and was looking forward to a nice cozy read but the book was so much more intense and creepy that my heart was literally breaking for Katie, Alex and his family. In this case, I must say, the book was better than the movie, although I loved them both.

Soo, I was in the mood for something light and easy after slogging through Rushdie, and I figured this would be a safe bet. I'll be the first to admit it - this is one of the rare instances I liked the movie better. While the book was good, I was a lot more invested in the film. The characters were likeable, and I liked Kevin's POV, but mostly I was just wondering what Jo was around for. What was the point of her? Did nobody ever notice that Katie was talking to herself? Did Alex never wonder wh

Normally not a fan. A tad mushy for my taste. But I'm trying to conjure up my inner optimist + I heard this was was a little darker than his usual =)

After every Nicholas Spark's book I read I swear I'm never going to read another one. But every now and then I pass one in the book isle and think "That doesn't sound too bad", but inevitably I end up rolling my eyes through 90% of the book.

I have read all of Nicholas Sparks books and I would be the first to say that some of them leave a bit to desire. But I really got into Safe Haven. The story is a new spin for Sparks- it is a bit darker with the romance taking a slower and quieter undertone.
I have been reading completely different generes of books for the last year and I found Safe Haven a nice break. I was sad when it ended and can't wait for his next to come out. ...more

Listened to audio book. Pretty slow and predictable. Might have stopped reading if I had checked it out as a book. I didn’t really fall in the love with the characters. But it was a nice background when driving.
I didn't catch on to the ending very far in advance. It is one of my favorite books by this author.
