Bend in the Road, A/Unabridge

Summary: Could have been better
Review: This was more of a mystery than the romantic story that Sparks usually writes about. It was still a good book but not as good as his others. The lead male character had a bad temper and I did not care for the way he was treating the lead female. Also, I don't think most women would just take him back no questions asked after treating her the way he did. It shone an unfavorable light on women.

Summary: A cute story - a little long in some parts
Review: I will not outline the book in this review since some of the reviewers have already done so. I read this book as I was looking for a fast, easy and somewhat entertaining book. I did not have great expectations since I usually don't read love stories, but I was pleasantly surprised. The characters are well developed and you feel drawn to them, I would have enjoyed reading more about the little boy involved in this story. The love story is not too sappy and there is more behind this book then just the usual romance. But about half way through the book you can see where this story is heading and then it takes a little too long to drive the point home. Overall a surprisingly entertaining book, perfect for days where you don't want to get engaged in heavy literature.

Nicholas Sparks takes Miles, Sarah, Jonah, and many others into an unbelievable story that is some how realistic. After losing Missy, his first love, Miles meets Sarah and falls in love again. However, a little secret nearly tears them apart. Miles has to figure out the truth, which is entirely different than what he thought.

Summary: I Love Nicholas Sparks!
Review: Nicholas Sparks has touched my heart and moved me once again with A Bend In The Road. Though somewhat predictable, I genuinely cared about the characters and enjoyed the plot twist. I can't wait for his next novel! Until then, I recommend a new book my reading group read called "Shade of the Maple" by Kirk Martin. Reminded me of "The Notebook", my favorite Sparks novel. I got so caught up in the characters in Shade of the Maple, I couldn't put it down. I cried harder than I ever have reading a novel, but at the same time felt a certain joy and happiness. If you like Sparks, you will love this book. ... .

Summary: The Formula
Review: Sparks has found The Formula for today's bestselling fiction. Be personable to sell the commmodity via the media, be young, good looking and reach out to those who will purchase his books along with another armful of Harlequins. His writing, his plots, will not go down with Hemmingway, the Bronte Sisters or Dickens. He will be best remembered as a consistent bestseller due to media hype. The characters in all of Sparks' books are lamely predictable. Always a couple with troubles who find each other. He knows the public craves light reading with little thinking involved and fits his outlines around that knowledge.

Summary: A Bend in the Road...
Review: What another perfect book by Nicholas Sparks. He has outdone himself again. This book could be a classic for many. It had a little mystery, romance and drama. A perfect blend for any reader. I have read all of his other books and this has been the best yet. This is a great "quick" read that will be well liked by just about anyone. Anxiously waiting for his next book.
