Book Reviews of Dear John
Book Review: Dear John review
Summary: 2 Stars
This is my first, and maybe last Nicolas Sparks book. I read it simply because of the military situation. It was a bit boring, but found it to be a quick read. I had absolutely no interest in Savannah at all. What was so great about her? My deal was with John. As short as their relationship was, I wanted to tell him to "Get over it already!". His depression when they are apart, to the point where he was an outcast with his other squad members in his unit, was just pitiful. No friends? Kept to himself. Whatever. The only true interest in this story was John's relationship with his father. I'm going to stick with Spark's movies only.Book Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
I love Sparks and all of his books and Dear John is just a great over all story of what alot of people are going through right now being in the Army and how it is so hard to have a relationship. But this is a great book and I loved it and would recommend it to anyone who is a Sparks fan, or who just likes to read.Book Review: Great Theme
Summary: 3 Stars
I realy enjoyed this book overall. Their were a few parts that were kind of slow,especially in the beginning. But once the story progressed, it got better.
The story starts off as John is a troubled kid, with a father he does not relate too. He is at the beach and falls in love with a girl named Savannah. They hit it off, and hang together for awhile, until he has to go back to germany where he is stationed. He is about to get out of the military and then 911 happened. He wants to do his country a favor or the right thing and reenlist. After he does this, the couples problems start to happen.
The end is good, if you love someone, you do anything to make them happy. No matter what that is.
Book Review: He Can Write
Summary: 5 Stars
No doubt about it. Nicholas Sparks is a good storyteller. From the first page, I want to be left alone to read undisturbed. The story moves along from scene to scene in a smooth fashion.
"What does it mean to truly love another?" The answer is found in this a love story about a man's life, but this is not an expected romance between a man and a woman. It's easy to see that Savannah and John are meant for each other; however, love goes beyond romance. The relationship between John and his father is also closely examined. The friendship of John and Tony, his army buddy, is believable.
The story takes place in North Carolina and spans several years, including the 9/11 attack. Autism and Asperger's conditions are written about with great care, giving me a bit of an education. The pain of old age and illness are included. The dialogue is well written; the characters are realistic.
Although there is the gratuitous sex scene, I liked this book. This book should be read!
Book Review: I love this Author!

Having 4 kids, reading usually put me asleep until I read his books. I could not put this one down and did not want it to end. Thank you to Nicholas Sparks for getting me reading again!
