Book Reviews of Three Weeks with My Brother
Book Review: A Great Story of an American Family
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife read this book first on a trip recently and made a point of telling me her favorite parts. Of course I rolled my eyes and didn't understand. But when I read this book, I understood why she was so engrossed in the story.
This is a book of Nicholas Sparks, the author, going on an around the world historical tour with his brother. Frankly, I scanned the 1/4 of the book concerning the trip which is intertwined throughout the story. What is really revealing is the retelling of his dysfunctional family (aren't we all) and the unique relationship he had with his brother. This trip allows him to recapture and revisit their upbringing, all the fond memories and all the warts, as he completely retells the significant events in the lives of the family members. The last 50 pages will have you in an emotional upheaval as they deal with many hardships.
In many respects this book reminded me of my upbringing and brought back many fond memories. While many people may find the book overly sentimental, including me as my wife read it, it is extremely touching and you would have to be pretty hard-hearted not to be touched and enjoy the story.
It's difficult for me to rate this 5 stars since I openly admit that I scanned 1/4 of the book. But I really got what I wanted which is an excellent, touching read of growing up in a common American family where everyone strives to overcome their insecurities. I strongly recommend this book, particularly for females, but also for males like me who typically read business and sports books. It was quite enjoyable.
Summary of Three Weeks with My Brother
As moving as his bestselling works of fiction, Nicholas Sparks's unique memoir, written with his brother, chronicles the life-affirming journey of two brothers bound by memories, both humorous and tragic.In January 2003, Nicholas Sparks and his brother, Micah, set off on a three-week trip around the globe. It was to mark a milestone in their lives, for at thirty-seven and thirty-eight respectively, they were now the only surviving members of their family. Against the backdrop of the wonders of the world and often overtaken by their feelings, daredevil Micah and the more serious, introspective Nicholas recalled their rambunctious childhood adventures and the tragedies that tested their faith. And in the process, they discovered startling truths about loss, love, and hope.Narrated with irrepressible humor and rare candor, and including personal photos, THREE WEEKS WITH MY BROTHER reminds us to embrace life with all its uncertainties...and most of all, to cherish the joyful times, both small and momentous, and the wonderful people who make them possible.Authors Books
