What was your First Nicholas Sparks Book

There is a lot of discussions about Fav/Last/Worst NS books i was wondering which was your first and did it switch you on to read more NS books.

Mine was The Notebook and i picked it up at the Airport by chance and read it in one go on my flight in floods of tears. From there i started picking up his books by random and so far have enjoyed the ones i have read.



The Notebook was my first NS book I believe...or a walk to remember..I can't recall which one I read first.


Message in a bottle


The Notebook!:) I cried a river when I read this book. My grandma was so shocked to see me in the middle of the night crying while holding this book :P


The Notebook.


The Notebook. I read it while sitting with my infant son in hospital for RSV. After I finished the book, I went outside to sob without waking the baby. A nurse came by and said, "it's okay, honey, your boy is going to be FINE!" I just nodded and let her hug me because I didn't want to tell her I was crying over the book, not my child! :-D


The Notebook was his best..His later books just got so predictable.


Safe Haven. I'm a little late to the party. My mom raves about Nicholas Sparks and I saw the preview for the movie and picked the book up. It did turn me on to him. I have read 3 since.

I read 'The Notebook' first, then I started 'Dear John'.


walk to remember!


"Message in a bottle." Still love that story.


A Walk to Remember- Nicholas Sparks is one of my all time favorite authors.


Dear John was my first book, my best friend let me borrow it while I was on a road trip to Florida.


A walk to remember, which is still my favourite drama/romance book!


Dear John


The Last Song


A walk to remember was my first Sparks book but have read them all and I haven't disliked one yet.


A Walk to Remember was my first but i liked The Notebook more.

I first read "A walk to remember" but then i was so little when i read it & it was a long gap before i read another book of his. Then it was "The Last Song", almost nearing the end of it,my eyes were clouding with tears and the memories of "A walk to remember" came rushing in :)


The Last Song! totally the best one!


My first Nicholas Spark book was "A Walk To Remember" I really like his books for the male perspective on romance. I have read practically all of his books since then. So far "Message in a Bottle" is the only movie I've found that closely stayed on track with the book.


Dear John


A walk to remember....Nicholas Sparks's besk book


A walk to remember..


the Last Song :)


A Walk To Remember. I remember crying after I read it, the ending was so emotional. It was the first time I'd cried after reading a book.


The Notebook. I didn't know who he was until I saw the movie and then I had to read the book. I liked having watched the movie first because I had visual images of the young characters while I was reading the story.


Mine was The Notebook. I loved this book!


The notebook and Safe Haven


My last.


True believer


A Walk to Remember


A Walk to Remember. My favorite. I still read it until now and I still watch its cinematic adaptation.


The Wedding


Read them all, but Message in a Bottle was my first.


My first book was notebook, after I finished reading it, I started reading more of his books and liked it. His books were the first books I started reading because at that time I never really knew many authors.


The Notebook was my first Nicholas Sparks book but 3 Weeks With My Brother was my favorite


Three weeks with my brother
