Summary: Message in a bottle? Sleepless in Boston
Review: What really strikes me about 'Message in a bottle' is that the story is the same as 'Sleepless in Seattle' except for the fact that Tom Hanks survives. Meg Ryan's editor boss, the radio show in stead of the bottle, the dead wife, the research into his whereabouts, the distance, the flying up and down, the first meeting between the two at the roadside, the son as a motivator to get a girlfriend is replaced by the father, they even both live very close to the water. Give me a break, I am not going to see the movie, I have already seen it!

Summary: Great; Reads fast
Review: I think this is a great book. I'm 16 and I read it for school. I normally get bored of books and do not bother to finish them but I finished this one in 3 days. I definetly recommend it.

Summary: A poor read, and a boring basic story.
Review: The book was such an easy story: a woman finds a love letter, happens to find the man who wrote it (in about a week), they fall in love, and the story concludes with the tragic love. The book was so elementary by its terrible writing and too predictible story that you would be better off reading something by my 3 year old cousin.

Summary: Boring, trite dialogues ruin the book.
Review: Try again next time, Sparks. You say men write better in emotional scenes, so maybe you could try learning from them. SNAG huh? Yeah right! *snort*Memo to Sparks : Brush up on the realistic dialogues, and stop trying too hard to be emotional - you end up being too melodramatic and overwrought.

Summary: Romance Lite
Review: If you read USA Today as your morning newspaper, you'll probably like this rediculous, throwaway, faux romance. The movie was actually better, would you believe!

Summary: The bottle sank deeper into my heart than I thought possible
Review: It was a book with a tragic ending...but fulfilled nonetheless... Somehow I feel calm, not angry which I always do when I encountered a sad ending of a story. The author put the story together like drawing a circle, which completes the story without leaving readers guessing what happens. Because they all know what is going to happen after the book, the same way it had started

Summary: A Great love story adventure
Review: This is one of the best books that I have ever read. It is the type of thing that every woman dreams have happen to her. The amazing real life expieriences bring the book to life.

Summary: good for some, very bad for others
Review: For those who liked it, it appeared this book served the purpose of helping them unleash their own wildest dreams and hopes they must have wished for themselves but had no other way to make into reality. For those who hated it, this book really was a technical inferior to many of the other "bestsellers" that have been out there. We really can't get to know the characters here, and if you ended up "loving" them, you were really loving something else you created in your mind -- Sparks did not provide it for you. In fact, he didn't provide much of anything except a running description of a movie, and not necessarily a very engaging one at that. This book demands a lot of the reader's own personal perceptions of love and lost to be involved with the plot...it does not take us on a journey that we could not have otherwise daydreamed for ourselves on a boring afternoon in front of our monitors. Too bad he can't take some of this feedback and create something better from it.
