Book Reviews of Three Weeks With My Brother
Book Review: Insightful autobiography
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first Nicholas Sparks book I've read. The fact is, he doesn't write the kind of books that I generally read. But my wife encouraged me to read this autobiographical book and I'm glad I did. But even though I may not be interested in his other books, I found this one fascinating.
The three weeks referred to by the title refer to a trip that he and his brother took around the world. But this is really only a backdrop upon which he tells the story of his life, from his earliest memories up until the trip itself. There is a lot of self reflection and self examination throughout the book, and I found his insights and conclusions very thought provoking and eye opening.
I think one of the reasons I enjoyed the book so much was because I relate to some of the struggles he's faced regarding the need to balance work, family, and personal time. It's interesting to see how his childhood has impacted his adulthood, and to watch as he figures it out.
I also really enjoyed his writing style. He is an excellent story teller with a great sense of pace and timing. I even enjoyed the descriptions of the sites he visited with his brother. Overall I'd recommend this book, even if you aren't a fan of his novels.
Summary of Three Weeks With My Brother
In January 2003 Nicholas Sparks and his brother Micah set off on a three-week trip around the world. An adventure by any measure, this trip was especially meaningful as it marked another milestone in the life journey of two brothers who, by their early thirties, were the only surviving members of their family. As Nicholas and Micah travel the globe, from the Taj Mahal to Machu Picchu, the story of their family slowly unfolds. Just before Nicholas's marriage he and Micah lost their mother in a horseriding accident; a week short of Nicholas's triumphant debut as a novelist with THE NOTEBOOK, the brothers lost their father to a car crash, and just a few short years later they were forced to say goodbye to their sister who died of brain cancer at the young age of 36. Against the backdrop of the main wonders of the world the brothers come together to heal the wounds of this tragic legacy and maintain their determination to live life to its fullest.Biographies & Memoirs Books
