Message in Bottle/ Unabridged

Rating:
Summary: Almost as good as "The Notebook"
Review: The story was fascinating and it definitely aroused my interest, but as I excitedly read the pages, I was disappointed at the end of the novel. The best part was when he had the dream and she told him that it was her who directed the bottle...

Summary: I can't believe I wasted three evenings reading this book!
Review: As I read Message In a Bottle I asked myself the following questions: Isn't this story similar to the movie Sleepless in Seattle? Didn't I quit reading Danielle Steele books five years ago? Is this the script to a TV movie? I found Sparks' writing to be trite and mundane. The story was predictable and much too long.

Summary: The Most Romantic Story of the Decade
Review: I purchased the book on the synopsis only and wasn't disappointed. I found that I had to read this book even when time was not permitting. I stayed up late to finish it. I envied Theresa the passion and romance of meeting a man like Garrett. If only it could have been me.........

Rating:
Summary: Not impressive...
Review: I thought that the quality of writing in this novel was quite poor. The storyline was filled with clichés..it wasn't a novel that made you think, really. It kept my attention long enough to finish it, but I wouldn't reccommend it to my friends.

Summary: Pretty Good Read Until The Last Couple Of Chapters!
Review: This story had potential. It's not that the book is bad, (I really liked most of it) it's just that the ending took the wind out of my sail (no pun intended). I was actually mad when I got done reading. I was hoping that it would end up like a "Sleepless in Seattle" story, where against the odds, they would find happiness together. Boy was I wrong. Stock up on kleenex!

Summary: Heart-wrenching!!!
Review: This book touched the bottom of my heart. I couldn't put it down!!!

Rating:
Summary: Good book until the end!
Review: I loved the The Notebook, even the ending. And I loved Message in a Bottle till I got to the end. Nicholas Sparks wrote a beautiful love story and then broke my heart so much so that it really ruined the story for me. We like happy endings, Mr. Sparks!

Summary: NO SPARKS THIS TIME!
Review: Simply loved THE NOTEBOOK and couldn't wait to read this one. Not even close! This one was too easy to figure out, I knew what was going to happen at every turn of the page, too many clues, to little surprize. THE NOTEBOOK was such a loving, tender story that it actually made my husband cry when he read it to me. Not this one! Not even one snif! It's too bad they have decided to make a movie out of this and not THE NOTEBOOK, that one would have made history, but this one, it's just collecting dust!

Summary: Look forward to future books written by this young author!!!
Review: This book was a wonderful romance novel; the letters touched me and to think, this was written by a male. I like what another reader said, "get out the Kleenex and a good bottle of wine"; I absolutely agree. I read it in one night - could not put it down. I now am reading The Notebook and look forward to future novels.
