Summary: Love and Danger
Review: This books shocked me when I was done reading it. I was amazed that Nicolas Sparks could write something do thrilling. I have read all of his books and also have the same feeling when I am done...it is a good feeling. This book did something that the others didn't though, it kept me on the edge of my seat and I couldn't put it down. I loved this book and it was a nice twist for his usual writing.

Summary: The dog...
Review: If you haven't read the book yet, please don't read my review, it will ruin the ending. I'm a HUGE dog lover, HUGE. My dog is just the best thing in the world (next to my husband I guess *smile*). This was cute, especially the dog parts, but the ending had me crying SO hard. He didn't have to kill the dog. That made me never want to read any more Sparks books. Animals go through enough as it is....he didn't need to bring to light another way to kill/torture them. My heart was broken and I couldn't stop hugging my own big ol dog (she thought I was nuts). Please, please, no more cruelty to animals....there is enough already.Adopt a stray! petfinder.org has lists of every organization in every city. My fave (in STL) is www.strayrescue.org. Randy Grimm is an angel. His book "The Man Who Talks to Dogs" can also be found on Amazon.

Summary: Trite and Cliche-ridden
Review: Listening to this novel on public radio, I, too, was convinced that I was hearing some sort of savage satire. This book is written on about an 8th grade level, with all the cliches associated with that age. Please, someone, explain why anyone would find this garbage interesting or compelling?

Summary: absolute drivel, sophomoric, waste of time
Review: After hearing a few episodes of this book read on a local public radio station, I was so curious that I checked out the reviews here. I was thinking that the book had to be a spoof. The writing is of the "see spot run" calibre. That it could be a "national bestseller" is almost unbelievable. I'd never heard of Sparks until now, but he seems to have come up with a good formula. (I intended to give this book no stars at all, but Amazon requires a rating of at least one star in order to post a review.)

Summary: awesome
Review: There's no other word for this book. Nicholas Sparks never fails to write a page turner, and this one definately fits that discription. You won't want to put it down.

Summary: An amazing work by an amazing author
Review: Just when you think that Nicholas Sparks has done all he can do with the genre, he adds another twist. Leaving his comfort zone, Sparks takes a stab at adding aspects of a thriller to his novel, The Guardian. This time, he not only deals with aspects of a love lost and a love found, he adds a psychotic stalked into the mix. When a young woman loses her husband at a young age, he leaves her with a gift, one that will constantly remind her that he is always with her. And it is this gift that helps to her to overcome the battles she faces down the road. Without giving too much of the plot away, I want to convey to you that this mix of genres makes the read one well worth your time and will force you to do some introspection into the choices you make in your own life.

Summary: Sparks is back!
Review: Though, at 224 pages, THE GUARDIAN is longer than most of Sparks' novels, it still reads very quickly. This novel is told from the third person point of view, focusing mainly on Julie, but often times jumping to the other characters. The suspense factor in this novel was a nice change from Sparks' previous novels, and though the reader knows who the "bad guy" is early on, and the reader knows that Sparks novels usually end happy, I was still driven to read every single page as quickly as I could! Total fun! Also recommended: THE LOSERS CLUB by Richard Perez

Summary: Very Good Read
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed the read. Having read all of Nicholas Sparks' books, I have not been disappointed yet. The Guardian does not top "The Notebook" which was and still is, in my opinion, the best he has ever written. But it held my interest and was hard to put down. The idea of the dog touched my heart because I have my own large dog that has been my constant companion for ten years. I completely understood the relationship between dog and owner. The story is very believeable and realistic. I give any book that touches my emotions as this one did a great score. Job well done.

Summary: Good book
Review: Many of Sparks novels have romance. This was love and danger. I liked this novel. I do agree it's different from what he writes. It kept me at the edge of my seat. It does have a tragic ending, sad also. Richard was a scary character I hope they offer this to hollywood. Would make a great movie. I will review The Wedding on September 9! Read this book full of love, danger, & suspance!
