A Walk to Remember
discussion
Is it just me or does someone always die in Nicholas' books?
No, it's not you. Someone is always dieing.

And they both don't die at the same time!
yeah jamie sullivan died but the way Sparks wrote the ending teased wonderfully with the flicker of hope in out hearts that there was a happy conclusion. After Langdon repeatedly prays for a miracle for Jamie, the book ends this way: "But this is okay, I smile slightly, looking toward the sky, knowing there's one thing I still haven't told you:I now believe, by the way, that miracles can happen."Yes granted, the miracle was Jamie appearing in Langdon's life and changing him forever. But still I find myself re-reading- looking for clues that Jamie survived despite the obvious staring at me in the face. This was how much Jamie touched my heart with her exemplary character. The only thing Langdon did wrong was to fall in love with her so late.

hmmmmm?
Maybe but like they did other stuff together!
But like I don't think Landon and Jamie did either?
But the people in nights in rodanthe and in like the Notebook and the wedding the the choice and the Lucky one I think they do?
I think It's cute how ( sometimes) they both cook together but what bugs me is what they do after the cook/eat!
totally agree! one of the characters is always diagnosed with some chronic diseases! well, he is just constantly reminding us that death is a parcel of life.

I love Nicholas Sparks' books. But when I pick one of his to read, I always make certain I have a good supply of tissues on hand. Otherwise, I go through a roll of toilet paper.

The first book I read of his was Walk to Remember. I thought I was getting a sweet little love story about high school. OMG! Was I wrong. But he's an excellent writer and always delivers a powerful story, so I really shouldn't complain. :)

It's not just you, lol. I wish he would write more happy books.
Dani wrote: "It's not just you, lol. I wish he would write more happy books."yeah i know what you mean i also wish that
Thats like lurleene mcDaniles She writes really sad books!
It seems like someone always dies of cancer in all of of them, even if it is not the main characheter
Yeah it's like never the main character! but in a walk to remember and nights in rodanthe they do............ and they don't always die form cancer!
Ruth wrote: "Yeah it's like never the main character! but in a walk to remember and nights in rodanthe they do............ and they don't always die form cancer!"yeah i know, but in several of them they do.
someone always dies!!!! well almost in dear john no one died but someone could've and the main character was heart broken.
Car wrote: "someone always dies!!!! well almost in dear john no one died but someone could've and the main character was heart broken."Yeah didn't all his friends die????
Yes, Someone or even a pet may die in his books. I do have to say though....True Love, or Love period may not always have a happy ending. He is an amazing author and to show the realistic part of love sometimes does not hurt us readers.

Libby wrote: "In dear john, Savannahs husband died. dont remember his name, but he did."Wait she was married before she met John? Or is it the guy that she left John for????

The guy she left John for. He ended up dying of cancer.

I got confused on the lucky one ! And I haven't read safe haven. I hope that the Lucky one movie won't be as confusing at that last part!

you should definitely read safe haven its a must i guarantee that you will enjoy it
His books are not usually as tragic as Jodi Picoult - I can't read her books. I read The Shack a couple years ago too and it was incrediably sad...but hopeful at the same time....
It is not just you.

She did Don't Die My Love and it was a really sad book...
From all the books i have read of his, somebody alaways dies. But they are always good. His books are so sad but they are gripping. 3 weeks with my brother is probally more gripping than any of his other books. I love reading his books.
His sister died of cancer
Patricialogan8 wrote: "His sister died of cancer"Whose sister?
and in what book??
Nicholas Sparks, that is prob why he puts dying in some of his books
Patricialogan8 wrote: "Nicholas Sparks, that is prob why he puts dying in some of his books"Oh I NEVER knew that... I always wondered why he made his books so sad... but now it totally makes sense like he takes out his "mourning" by writing books that relate to his experiences ! like now it totally makes sense...
Ruth wrote: "Patricialogan8 wrote: "Nicholas Sparks, that is prob why he puts dying in some of his books"Oh I NEVER knew that... I always wondered why he made his books so sad... but now it totally makes sens..."
Yea. ruth it is like he does that. Read 3 weeks with my brother. Triple sadness in that book but its all real. Its all about his family and how him and his brother are the only two left. very good book hard to find but well worth the hunt.
i think the only book of Nicholas Sparks' that i've read till now in which no died (only nearly died) was 'the choice'.
Kriti wrote: "i think the only book of Nicholas Sparks' that i've read till now in which no died (only nearly died) was 'the choice'."oh yeah... No one died in the Lucky one ... or did they ? I can't remember ...
Love all of his books and although they might bring some tears to your eyes they are real life events and I think people do not have trouble relating to them and want more and more
Ruth wrote: "oh yeah... No one died in the Lucky one ... or did they ? I can't remember..."Nope. No one did. Just a prolonged coma that made you feel Gabby almost dies. :)

Wait that was in the choice?
What about the Lucky One? I can't rememeber ?....
I read ten novels of Nicholas Sparks and yes death is inevitable for this author.
