Book Reviews of Dear John
Book Review: Amazingly Raw and Sentimental
Summary: 5 Stars
One would think that the Army, the War and lovelorn feelings are quite cliche - Nicholas sparks again hits the nail right on with the hammer. I was gripped by the prologue in the store, and bought it simply because "Three Weeks with my Brother" was unavailable. When I began reading, I couldn't stop. I was up in the late hours of night finishing every last word of this novel. I read it in one sitting...just over four hours curled up - engrossed in the story. I cried, I laughed and I was angry. I felt sentiment and understanding just as the characters do for each other. Absolutely read this novel. It's filled with understanding and sacrifice and things that we wish we could be.Book Review: Dear John review
Summary: 2 Stars
This is my first, and maybe last Nicolas Sparks book. I read it simply because of the military situation. It was a bit boring, but found it to be a quick read. I had absolutely no interest in Savannah at all. What was so great about her? My deal was with John. As short as their relationship was, I wanted to tell him to "Get over it already!". His depression when they are apart, to the point where he was an outcast with his other squad members in his unit, was just pitiful. No friends? Kept to himself. Whatever. The only true interest in this story was John's relationship with his father. I'm going to stick with Spark's movies only.Book Review: don't read the amazon reviews
Summary: 5 Stars
There are too many spoilers in the comments by other reviewers, you will enjoy this masterpiece a lot more, if like me, you don't know how it concludes. I picked up the audio book at the library read by Holter Graham (to perfection) and fell into a very realistic tale of Savannah the pretty college student and John a soldier on two-week leave from the Army. The easy "down-home" storytelling and dialogue was so real it almost feels like it's not made up. Nicholas Sparks is a fantastic writer who I've enjoyed before but Dear John was easily on a higher level of entertainment value for this reader.Book Review: "Dear John"

Next time fate smiles on you: Finish your time in the Army, let fate take its course with the husband of the women you love, Marry your soul mate, raise the autistic child of the fore mentioned,and now deceased, husband of the woman you love, keep your father's coin collection to honor his memory, have two children with your soul mate, and... OK finally sell the coins to pay for your children's education.
Yours truley, sanity
P.S. Have fun howling at the moon every month...you bleeding heart sapp!!!
Book Review: Say Hello to Romance's and Goodbye to Fantasy's.
Summary: 5 Stars
Dear John is a book about a man named John Tryee that falls in love with a women named Savannah Lynn Curtis. When John Tryee meets savannah he knows he is in love with her. I gave Dear John by Nicholas Sparks a 5 out od 5 because it is one of the most intellegent books I have ever read. Most people don't like romances because the are cheesy and unbeleiveable. Dear John is so real. The book even takes place during a real time period 9/11/01. Dear John is an amazing book and Nicholas Sparks is a very talented writer in times in the book I even cried.
