This isn't the first time I've read this book. In light of the upcoming movie release, I wanted to relive the experience that is a Nicholas Sparks book.

I really liked this book. It started out a little slow, but once it got into the story it got into the story and I didn't want to put it down. I really liked the "thriller" part of the story. Now I need to read The Guardian. ...more
