Book Reviews of Message in a Bottle
Book Review: A typical heartwrenching Nicholas Sparks novel.
Summary: 5 Stars
The novel deals with two people. First a Boston divorcee name Theresa who hasn't really dated or felt anything for anyone in the three years since her divorce. She works at the "Boston Times" as a columnist. The second being a Wilmington, North Carolina widower named Garrett who owns and runs a diving instruction place and loves to go sailing. I bet you're thinking "how do two people who live so far apart end up meeting and having something to do with the title 'message in a bottle?" Well Garrett lost his wife three years ago in a car accident, but never lost his love for her. He started to write letters to his long lost lover and send them out to sea in bottles. Still how does this have any connection to Theresa? Well it has been said that everything eventually washes up on one shore or another so where do you think one of Garrett's bottles would just happen to wash up? Theresa ends up find one of his bottles in Cape Cod, but what does she do with the bottle and what happens next? You'll have to read for yourself in this intensely romantic, slightly predictable, and page turning novel.
thank you for your time,

p.s.- yes some of Nicholas Sparks' novels are predictable, but they are classic love stories. what more do you want?
Book Review: A Touching Love Story Book That Will Really Make You Cry.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the most fabulous book I had ever read. I simply couldn't put down the book the moment I've start to read it. I had also seen the movie and thought that the storyline would be the same as the story book. But later did I found out that I had actually love the storyline in the storybook more than the movie itself. This book is really wonderful! And I really love this book coz it really touched my heart. I cried when I reached the ending chapters, and I simply couldn't resist my tears from rolling down after I've know that Garrett had actually died in the storm before he get to see Theresa. I had also cried b'coz in his last letter, he had actually wanted to go over to Boston to stay with Theresa forever. He said that he wanted to go over to Boston to see whether he can win her heart. But he did not even get to fulfill his last wish before he died. Sadly say, the ending is really a tragic. I couldn't stop crying even after finishing the book for about a 2 hrs. Till now, I would still picked up some parts to read during my free time. I highly recommend this book to those readers who really love romance stories. I will continue to give my support to this author.Book Review: Beautifully written
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was truly amazing. I never, ever cry during a movie or a book, not even when I saw Titanic. Not a tear did I shed. But for the last chapters of this book, I was in tears. I needed a box of tissues, it was so bad, and I'm not exxagerating. Nicholas Sparks knows how to get his readers feeling. It was a very emotional book. I was a little nervous when she went to look for him at the shop and then at the dock, but I think Theresa handled it very well. I saw the movie, and while it was very good, and the score was fantastic (in my opinion)it just didn't compare with the book. It had an amazing twist to it. When you think of unpredictable,if you've read this book, then the ending of the book will definitlety come to mind. It was an incredible, wonderfully written novel, and I loved every page, every minute, no matter how sorrowful it was, it ended beautifully with Thersa. She knew how to live, how to truly live, and though it was painful for her, she survived. It is a wonderful example of human strenght and the power of loss and love. I found it an excellent way to spend my extra hours, and I hope you do too.Book Review: My absolute favorite book - A MUST READ!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was my absolute favorite book. I have read A Walk to Remember, The Rescue, Nights in Rodanthe, and most of The Notebook and I think this book by far is much better then all of the others. I finished this book over a year ago and I still think about the characters and remember everything about the story. There are few books anyone can say that about. I was absolutely fascinated by this story. I was truly in suspense and couldnt wait to see how the story would turn out. I do not think you will be disappointed. After reading the book, I rented the movie... what a waste of money that was! The movie was terrible. I am so happy I read the book instead. Those who saw the movie already already know some of the storyline but seriously, the book is so much more intense and has such passion and suspense. I found the movie was boring and the actress was terrible. Her voice was so monotone that it killed the entire movie. One of the worst movies I have seen but the best book I have ever read. Please read the book instead of watching the movie!! I can't wait to read another one of Nicholas Sparks' books!!Book Review: A love story for all readers
Summary: 5 Stars
If you like love stories this is a great book for you. This book is about a single mother name Theresa Osborne, and her son Jason. Theresa was out on the beach jogging and found a bottle washed up on shore with a letter in it. This letter was written by Garret Blake to his dead wife. Theresa published the letter in her column and this letter touched millions. She found two more letters by the same author, Garret Blake. Theresa thought these letters were so sweet that she just had to meet this man. In North Carolina, she met him and they fell deeply in love. But Garret now has to choose between the love of his life, Theresa, or to let go of his past love, Catherine, who is dead.
I really liked this book. Nicholas Sparks can really write love stories that touch people's hearts. It was one of the sweetest\saddest books I have ever read. It has really touched my heart. I cried for the longest time. Message in a bottle is now one of my all time favorite books.
