Book Reviews of True Believer
Book Review: Two StarZzzzzzzz
Summary: 2 Stars
As a Nicholas Sparks fan, I expected this book to be a page-turner similar to The Notebook. But I found it to be a great cure for my insomnia as often I'd read through two paragraphs and be soundly asleep! The character development is poor, at best. You barely grasp the personality of the main character until the very end of the book. Much time is spent describing the inner 'thoughts' of the characters, but very little time is spent on what they're actually doing. Hence, the plot moves slowly. The storyline has good bones, however. If you must read it, skim the first couple chapters and then skip to the last third of the book. You truly won't miss anything.Book Review: Too boring to finish
Summary: 2 Stars
I have read all Nicholas Sparks books and usually find them enjoyable and an easy read - but this is sooo slow! I have tried to finish reading it but cannot..... Book Review: It's ok
Summary: 3 Stars
I have loved every single book Nicholas Sparks has written except for Message in a Bottle and now True Believer. The characters were 2 dimensional and no connection. It wasn't a story that reached out and grabbed me. Now I am not sure if I want to read the sequal At First Sight. If I do, I will look for a used copy.Book Review: Another Sparky Pleasurable Read!
Summary: 5 Stars
As a writer of romantic, suspenseful mysteries myself, I tend to lean toward that genre for my own personal reading pastime pleasure. I latched onto Nicholas Sparks quite a while ago and I fell in love with his style, especially after reading Message in A Bottle and The Notebook. Those two, in my estimation, were his best ever books! True Believer was enchanting, as well, and it kept my interest throughout the story. I am continually amazed at his insight into the female psyche. Whoever his muse is, may he never lose her! You already know what the story is about by reading the other reviews here, so I won't duplicate it and bore you. It's a fabulous story and I was pulling for both Lexie and Jeremy to hook up at the end. You'll have to read the book to find out if they did. My only complaint is at the end of the book when the author gives us a sneak peek at the first part of his next novel, Dear John. The first word in the Prologue was supposed to be What...not That, but then, I'm a stickler for spelling and typos, and I'm my own worst critic. We all have them...even the greats like Sparks. True Believer was everything I hoped it would be. Good job, Nicholas!Book Review: Another Great Sparks Novel
