It's a lovely story about mature love in lowlands of North Carolina. I read the book in Holland where a girl friend of mine is a huge Nick Sparks fan. I travel to Oriental, NC (near New Bern) often, even to a wedding last summer, and will be moving there this fall. So I know the setting well. I bought the hardcover on eBay because I am now on a quest to get Mr. Sparks to sign it for my Dutch friend. I have a book that I know he would like to have in exchange. I'm also reading his other work in chronological order. He captures the flavor of the Carolina coast really well. Great stories set in a beautiful region. These are not romance novels but wonderful love stories. I recommend them all.
I originall planned to purchase this book for my daughter because she likes to read all the books by the author, Nicholas Sparks. However, I did not receive this item. The seller and I had a mutual agreement to end the transaction.
GREAT book!! could not put it down till I was finished. a friend recommended it. I had seen the movie The Notebook and loved it. Based on that, my friend recommended it. It's well-written and easy to read. I laughed in parts, cried in others and was surprised in another.
We chose this book for our book club and it was worth the read. Some had read The Notebook, others had seen the movie so we had some idea what was going on but I don't think it is neccessary to have read or seen either. Sparks is an excellent writer and always gives you many emotions to experience. There were some surprises but also some things that you would come to expect. All in all, it was an excellent book and I would recommend it to others to read.
I loved this book, but the first 100 pages were sort of boring, but the ending is worth reading!! It is the most romantic book ever!! please read you will not be disappointed!! I decided to buy it because i have read another of Nicholas Sparks book that i liked, "Nights in Rodanthe" so i thought that i would read another of his and i wasn't disappointed!!
When I purchased this book, I didn't realize that I had already read it, so I relisted it. But I do enjoy books by Nicholas Sparks. He is an excellent author.
This book is wonderful. Nicholas Sparks is an excellent writer, and this is one of his best books. Be prepared to shed a few tears along the way.
Wilson Lewis has been married to Jane for thirty years. Although Wilson's love has continued to grow, Jane feels abandoned, and has falled out of love with Wilson. Wilson realizes this is his fault, because he has concentrated on his job over the years, and in addition, has trouble communicating his feelings. Wilson embarks upon a year long program to win back the love of his wife.
The road to the conclusion is unexpected, and very tender. All husbands could take a lesson from Wilson as he tries to find a way to make Jane fall in love with him all over again.
I highly recommend this wonderful book. It's a book you'll want to read again and again. It will leave you feeling really good, so it's great when life isn't as perfect as you'd like.
Although almost all of Nicholas Sparks' books are wonderful, this one is really special.
I'm a huge Nicholas Sparks fan. Right now I'm buying up all of the hardcover books so that I can have all of them autographed. He's a great writer and I think that this book is definitely one of his best!
I have quite a few books by this author, and correctly presumed this would be another excellent work. I bought several copies to give for Christmas presents, and have high hopes that it will be received well by them also. I can say nothing but good things about this heart-warming story.
I bought this book because, I had aleady read or seen movies written by this author, an he is one great writter, and this book is the sequel to the "Notebook" in which I read first, then the movie came out, I do have to say, the book-THE NOTEBOOK- was better than the movie. I did love the movie too, but books are so much more discriptive,
This book is the perfect book for anyone that enjoys a wonderful romance. This is the type of romance that a married person would really enjoy. It just makes you feel so good after reading this book. I read it in a week, it nevers makes you bored and you want to give up sleep to finish it. A must read for all true romance lovers!
Nicholas Sparks is one of my favorite authors. I now have all his books in hardback copy. I have enjoyed reading all of his books. I highly recommend reading his books if you like romance. Some of his books have a little mystery with a wonderful love story. My favorite book is The Notebook.
I'm a Nicholas Sparks fan and this is by far my favorite book of all that I've read. If you are a romantic at heart then this is the book for you. It's great the way he incorporates the characters from The Notebook into it. I will read this over and over again!
As I read this book, I laughed, cried, sighed, and wished. I saw the movie The Notebook and thoroughly enjoyed these richly envisioned characters of Noah and Allie Calhoun. This book is the story of Noah and Allie's daughter, Jane, and her husband Wilson Lewis. The story flows fast and I could hardly put the book down to go to work! You will just love the ending, but DO NOT CHEAT and read one word ahead! You should read this with your spouse some rainy weekend without kids! You might find a lesson here that could put the sparkle back in your lover's eyes.
What a great book! I loved it! Nicholas Sparks is right on track with this one! A great way to follow up his classic The Notebook. Just remember, this book is not what you're expecting. This does not continue with the love affair of Noah and Allie. Read this book!
