Book Reviews of Dear John
Book Review: Spark's Even Outdoes Himself
Summary: 5 Stars
Dear John could arguably be Spark's best novel to date. As perhaps the greatest love storyteller of our time, the New York Times Best Seller tops even his own works.
Dear John attempts tells a story of true love and loss and all of the emotions that go along with them. Set in modern times, it paints an accurate picture of post-9/11 life and its effect on relationships.
In gripping detail, Spark's lays out the story of John and Savannah and a summer romance that would last until the end of time. But love is not without its tragedies, and these two would be faced with the hardest ones of all. Would their love be strong enough to survive? Or would time and distance allow love to be overcome by everyday adversities? What sacrifice would be too much to ask?
In the end, both Savannah and John learn the true meaning of love. Both learn all too well, that love can only be valued by what you would give to show it.
A true must-read that will tug at the very fabric of your heart.
Book Review: The Power of Love
Summary: 4 Stars
What John does is truly powerful and uplifting. Yes, it is sad, but still moving! A great romantic novel that really shows how much you can love.
Book Review: The great love story
Summary: 5 Stars
This book gives you a look at real love. Whether you have it, had it and lost it, or never had it.... you will love this book. Its slight humor and major romance is great for anyone who loves to get lost in a great romance book. I have read it over and over.... still cry!!!Book Review: This book left me way too sad!
Summary: 2 Stars
I have enjoyed so many of this author's books. When I finished this one, I was bummed out for two days. I understand the importance of honor and choices, but the ending could have embraced both and still not have been so unfulfilling. It's a long book, I invested many hours reading it. I did not like the unhappy ending.
Book Review: Typical but good
Summary: 4 Stars
Overall, I enjoyed this book. It was a quick, easy read. It kind of had a boring start but definitely picked up a bit later. I loved John and Savannah as a couple but I knew once he went back to Germany, it would be a struggle for them to stay together. I will say I never truly got a grasp of the love between John and Savannah in the end. It was so wishy washy. I understand their logic but it still didn't fit right. The ending was typical but I still found it to be an average/above average book.
