Summary: It was a different kind of love story.
Review: My mom told me to read it so I did. I thought it was a different kind of storyline, but neat. It was very romantic but,at times, predictable. And also very sad.

Summary: Incredibly Bad. Don't Buy It.
Review: This guy obviously had only one good book in him. Characterization is horrid, voice uninspired, plot stupid.

Summary: Emotionally-driven and his best yet!
Review: I have read both Nicholas Spark's books and this was his best yet. It is one that gives a ray of hope: you CAN indeed fall in love again. To me, the characters were credible- it's like I know these people. I felt for Garrett, tormented by demons of his beloved Catherine. I wrestled along with him. I understood Theresa's frustration of having to share him with Garrett's dead wife. I wait excitedly for his next novel!

Summary: TWO WONDERFUL AND FULFILLING STORIES, MY HEART CRIED!!!!!
Review: I NEVER HEARD OF NICHALS SPARKS UNTIL A FRIEND AT WORK GAVE ME A "THE NOTEBOOK" TO READ. WELL I'M NOT ONE FOR SAPPY LOVE STORIES. BUT WHEN I STARTED THIS BOOK, I COULD NO LONGER PUT IT DOWN. EVERY CHANCE I HAD IT WAS READING THE BOOK. AT ONE POINT I WAS RIDING THE TRAIN TO WORK AND BROKE OUT IN TEARS WHEN I READ THE ENDING. THEN I BOUGHT "MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE" ONCE AGAIN, COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN!!! MY HEART TRULY BROKE AND I CRIED AT THE VERY END (ALTHOUGH I WISH IT ENDED DIFFERENTLY) NEVERTHELESS, IT WAS A COMPLETE SURPRISE, BECAUSE I THOUGHT FOR SURE I HAD AN IDEA ON HOW IT WAS GOING TO END,INSTEAD I WAS IN FOR A COMPLETE SHOCK!. THANK YOU MR. SPARKS FOR TWO INCREDIABLE BOOKS, WHEN WILL THE NEXT ONE COME OUT???

Summary: High hopes shattered.....
Review: Over all I enjoyed this book, I have read the Notebook, which was a beautiful lasting love story. This book, however left me feeling empty, I wasn't drawn closely enough to the characters to admire there depth of love or conviction towards one another. Something just didn't crab me to feel compassion for two lost souls. I hope one never lets money or success dictate one's true blessed gift of writting to allow to succomb to deadlines, wings of best sellers, I look forward to Nicholas's third book, I thank you for the Notebook, a work well praised and deserved.

Summary: A refreshing love story in this day of sex , lies etc.
Review: Maybe it was timing... maybe it was my frame of mind... but this was a wonderful story of idealistic love which seems to be so lacking in the world today. The author's sensitivity is obvious throughout as it was in the Notebook. I didn't want it to end. Mostly I read Mystery novels, but for a change of pace I read "Message" and sobbed my way through it, wishing I had a letter written about me in that way.

Summary: This novel sent me on an emotional roller coaster.
Review: Message In A Bottle by Nicholas Sparks is one of the most romantic novels ever written. This book sent me on an emotional roller coaster. After both having failed relationships, one due to death and another due to divorce, two people are brought together by what seems to be fate...My favorite quote from the book goes something like this, "There are winds in our life. Some gust with the fury of a hurricane and others barely fan one's cheek. It is these winds that carry us through life. You my darling, are the wind that I did not anticipate and you have guested with more fury than all others. You my dear are my destiny. A must read novel!!

Summary: Sparks renews faith in the matters that truely matter.
Review: All too often we forget the things in life that truely matter the most. Author Nicholas Sparks takes us to that place in our own hearts and minds where we must examine our own existance. The charaters in his books 'The Notebook' and 'Message in a Bottle' are granted a three dimensional life complete with daily frustrations, family dilemmas, and scenes so well written we can see and smell them with littel effort. Bravo to Sparks for braving a world of cynics to prove not only once, but twice that people can be touched through the written word.

Summary: Easy reading
Review: I found it to be a simple romance story. While the story was sweet and made me cry at times, I felt the characters could have been better developed. The storyline came together too conveniently and easily. Overall, I would recommend it if you were in the mood for easy reading.

Summary: Great book if the ending had been better.
Review: I picked up Nicholas Sparks' "Message In A Bottle" upon the recommendation of a friend who had enjoyed "The Notebook." I was instantly drawn to the book with it's cover of a ship and words floating in the ocean.The book is about a divorced newspaper columnist named Theresa who takes a vacation in Cape Cod and discovers a corked bottle with a message while jogging one morning along the beach. I loved how Sparks allowed Garrett to show sensitivity and emotions and even tears to both Theresa and his deceased wife Catherine. Something that is very rare in a world where men are to be macho. The messages Garrett writes are beautifully written and will no doubt touch readers emotions. They will even inspire you to write your own love letter's to someone you deeply love. What I didn't like about the book was the ending.
