Summary: thumbs up
Review: It was the first book I've read from Nicholas Sparks and he is one of my best authors because first impression is the last impression. The plot is very new to me. It consists suspense, love and a rejuvenated life of a widow, who gets a big blow when she found herself dating a stalker and a brutal murderer. I feel it can happen in real life as well because there are so many psycho out there. Anyway this book is fabolous and I do recommend everybody read this book. You wont be able to stop coz u will reading as fast as a ferrari.

Summary: The Guardian
Review: "Everything in life happens for a reason." Right? Isn't that what we were always told? "Life goes on. It was meant to be." The unoriginal pep talk of life. Yes, I've heard it all, but come to think of it i have actually started believing it up until i read this book. I beleive that everyone is connected in this world that we may never know about, but it isn't just coincidence that brings us together. It's fate. Nicholas Sparks represents this in his book-The Guardian. All of Nicholas Spark's key ingredients are plastered into this story to make a haunting thriller blended with a beautiful love story with miracles.
When Jim, Julies husband dies of a brain tumor she is left alone. Not to say she doesnt have any friends because she does. Mike, Henry and his wife, and Jims aunt whom she works for a a beauty salon. This is where she meets the unforgetable Richard Franklin, a mysterious man who starts off nice enough and charming to Julie who had just jumped back into the dating scene 4 years after her husbands death. Soon though, he becomes a constant threat in her life, and she finds herself running from the life she loves. Mike, who was Jims best friend growing up becomes person who Julie can trust with her life.
Each chapter seems to bring a new story and will leave readers in awe after it is over. The constant question will go through the readers mind: "Whats going to happen next?!"
Nicholas Sparks has created a book that has a knack for drawing tears and spreading smiles. This is a book is great for highschoolers and beyond. I'm going to keep this by my side until im old and gray.

Summary: Best book by Sparks yet!
Review: I have read all of Nicholas Sparks' books, and this was my favorite. It is different from all of his other books. It's still a love story, but mixed with some mystery and Drama. I'm sure if you have read one of his books, you've read them all or on your way to reading them all, but if you haven't read any yet, definitally try this one out.

Summary: Enjoyed it
Review: This was a decent read, but not what I expected. Kudos to Mr. Sparks for switching things up and trying new things. I've read a good bit of romantic suspense though and this just didn't stand out from the usual girl-in-jeopardy story. I loved the dog though. Mike and Julie were likable. Richard was hatable. Andrea was pitiable. Probably only Mabel, Henry and Emma were interesting and they didn't do anything. Their characters had little quirks though like Mabel's disappearance and reappearance (that'd make a great book) or Emma's unexpected advice to always marry someone who loves you more when it seems she's the one who adores Henry. There weren't many surprises from the main characters, but it was a fun ride. I appreciate authors who try different things.

Summary: A Page Turner!
Review: Like many of the reviews, this was a difficult book to put down. I enjoyed the fact that Sparks was combining suspense and romance. And while some may say the ending was predictable, I wasn't totally prepared for it. Perfect book for a day at the beach!

Summary: The Guardian is a hit!
Review: This is a good book. I enjoyed it, it is a little different from Nicholas Sparks other books. It has a little more suspense to it. The only problem with this book is that for someone like me, and avid suspense book reader, I guessed the ending. Not the entire ending, but some of it. I would still suggest reading it. It has a good plot line and the characters were built in a great way. As with other Sparks books, you really get to know the characters and what they are thinking. If you like Nicholas Sparks, then you will really enjoy this.

Summary: Um, what a quandry
Review: OO gee, I am a young woman of satisfactory economic standing who owns a dog. I'm pretty! Who do I date?!When I picked this book up at the supermarket, I was hoping for a thriller read. I hadn't read Sparks yet, and I was willling to give anything a chance (I am a chronic insomniac). It's pretty stale. Once you get to chapter three, you pretty much know the whole story. Even the main review here on Amazon gives away so much of the plot... Ridiculous. I wish it were better. But it isn't!
