Still listening to it via NPR's Radio Reader. Still interested on how this will evolve. But the dialogs, particularly college girl vs.cowboy I find, using the American dialect, cheesy; let me clarify that there are very interesting cheeses throughout the world.



Not my favorite Nicholas Sparks book; Dialogs between those two were kind of corny. The relationship that developed was very predictable.
Situation and dialogs between Ira and his wife while kind of touching, were just a little too far fetched for me.


I agree. I got to the point where I thought if I read the words "my mom" one more time I would scream.

The dialogue between Ira and his wife was tedious because it was too stilted (no contractions as in natural speech.) But I thought that might have been intentional on the author's part because English was not their native language.

I thought Ira's revelations took too long to play out. And the ending became predictable.

This was not one of Nicholas Sparks' better books.
