Book Reviews of At First Sight
Book Review: 200 pages of overused cliches later ...
Summary: 1 Stars
After reading this book, I feel like Nicholas Sparks woke up in the middle of the night and went "aha! tearjerker moment!" and then quickly slapped together a story in order to get his "tearjerker moment" published. He could have easily done away with the first 200 + pages of the book, possibly leaving a better story at the end. I liked True Believer (enough to look forward to this one, anyway) as well as a few of his other books. This book was unsatisfying, the drama felt forced and the dialog dry. It was full of cliches', which made it feel poorly written. If it were his first book, perhaps I would be a little more understanding, but he's written so many! Any writer worth their stock should know to avoid the phrase, "And for the first time in what felt like forever".
Very disappointed in this one. Would not recommend it, will not read it again.
