Nicholas Sparks Books

Is anybody else a fan of his books? So far I've read Nights in Rodanthe, A Bend in the Road, The Guardian, The Wedding, The Rescue, True Believer, and At first Sight. All of them have such sweet, heart-touching stories and are a fabulous read. It really amazes me how Sparks can write such beautiful, emotional books because I cry almost every time I finish one now it seems.

So as I previously mentioned, any other fans of his work?

I am. ^^ A Walk to Remember was the first book I read from him. It's such a sweet and romantic book, and it doesn't really have that typical happy ending, which is one of the reasons why it appealed to me. The Wedding was also good and quite inspiring for married couples out there, although I found that I liked Noah and Allie's story better in The Notebook.

The Guardian, A Bend in the Road, and The Rescue were also pretty good. I should read some more of his books now that I'm reminded of how his stories used to make me read nonstop.

I really want to read The Notebook and A Walk to Remember, mainly because I loved the films for both.

Unfortunately I haven't read anything by him yet, but since I found out that he wrote those two I've been wanting to get into him.

I can't believe I forgot A Walk to Remember! I love both the book and the movie ^^ I like how it doesn't have a fairy tale ending as well because it wouldn't have had such a powerful impact on me if it did. As for The Wedding, I didn't think it was as good as The Notebook either, I guess because the couple in it just couldn't compare to Noah and Allie who were absolutely perfect for each other. It was still good though.

I'm pretty sure he has 3 new books out, so you and Holly Golightly should read some of them. I've heard nothing but good things about one called The Choice. Also, if you haven't read True Believer or At First Sight then you really need to.

I suppose you could call me a casual fan... I read A Walk To Remember right before the movie came out, and I liked it. Same with The Notebook, although I read that after I saw the movie.

Just last week I read his new release, "The Lucky One". It was cute.
