Book Reviews of Dear John
Book Review: What was that?
Summary: 2 Stars
After all of that development of how much they loved each other, Parts II and III just ruined it. It skimmed through 9/11 and the war, and why he stayed in the military longer. That was put in the story just as a little interlude of why he didn't come home at the end of his service. There was no depth or feeling about what that meant for anyone. Then, all of the sudden she found someone new, and when he returns, low and behold, she's married to Tim who happens to be dying? Wait, what just happened here? I didn't find what any of them did as a sign of true love. John, Savannah, and Tim suddenly became victims of their own selfish thoughts in the name of loving the other too much for their own good. Selling his Dad's coins for that? Stealing John's girl? Dumping John because he hasn't come home yet... to be with your best friend instead? I give it 2 stars because the love seemed like it had great promise to mean so much more, and it fizzled at the end.
Summary of Dear John
When Savannah Lynn Curtis comes into his life, John Tyree knows he is ready to turn over a new leaf. An angry rebel, he had enlisted in the army after high school, not knowing what else to do. Then, during a furlough, he meets the girl of his dreams. Savannah Lynn Curtis is attending college in North Carolina, working for Habitat for Humanity, and totally unprepared for the passionate attraction she feels for John Tyree. The attraction is mutual and quickly grows into the kind of love that leaves Savannah vowing to wait for John while he finishes his tour of duty, and John realizing that he's ready to settle down with the young woman who has captured his heart. Neither can foresee that 9/11 is about to change the world and will force John to risk every hope and dream that he's ever had. Like so many proud men and women, John must choose between love and country. And like all those left behind, Savannah must decide to wait or move on. How do we choose wisely? How can we face loss-without giving up on love? Now, when he finally returns to North Carolina, John will discover that loving Savannah will force him to make the hardest decision of his life. An extraordinary, moving story, Dear John explores the complexities of love -- how it survives time and heartbreak, and how it transforms us forever.Sparks, Nicholas Books
