Summary: Another cliche waste of time
Review: I read MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE thinking, "I hate romances, but how bad can it be? Oprah recommended his other book..." This was a story of a manipulitive woman who searches for the man she has found letters from washed upon the shore. Sparks seems to side at times with this sneaky creature, making her seem "right" at most parts in the novel. I could not take that. The unrealistic part of this novel was that Theresa went all the way to North Carolina to find this mystery man, finds him, and of course they instantly fall in love. This book takes too much patience on the behalf of the reader, from the anything-but-unique love letters, to the frail plot in between, to the cliche, spur-of-the-moment ending. Don't waste your time.

Summary: Completely overrated book
Review: I found this book to be pretty poorly written. The plot was so predictable. Neither of the main characters were particularly interesting either, especially "Garrett". In fact, he really bugged me. I did not think of him as being some attractive and mysterious man, but a wimpy and childish man. And did anyone else notice how overused the characters' names were? I think the word Garrett was in every sentence. I only finished it because I was on a long plane ride and had no other alternative. I also have no desire to see the movie.

Summary: A selfish and self centered society can not value this book
Review: Yes l read and l cried too. l am glad to know that the feelings, to care someone other than your self, romance, to know that simple, little things have more meanings and have more value then the rich ones..... is still around and not long forgotten. Thank you Nicholas.

Summary: Preditable.! Just wanted to finish it to put it behind me!
Review: I could have written a better book, and I'm no writer. I felt as though there was nothing to look forward to.. The only surprising part of this book was the ending, and even that was written in a mediocre way!

Summary: An attention grabber
Review: Wow! It's been a long time since I come across such a good book. Once you begin reading the book, you cannot stop! You'd got to read it for yourself! It's worth the money and of course, the time.

Summary: A Toching Book That Makes you cry
Review: What can I say? It is truely a terrific book. The ending was heartbreaking though. It seems that both of them are meant to be together but somehow, it is just not meant to be. Read that book. It is a great book and it seems like it has been a looongg time that any book touches me the way this book did.

Summary: Very moving, I cried both times
Review: This book was very easy for me to read and relate to. It had a very spiritual, true love feeling to me. I did have trouble, however, believing that Garrett and Theresa were truly in love. But the love story between Garrett and his beloved Catherine moved me in the same way that "Wuthering Heights" moved me. That he, in the end, was able to move beyond that yearning for Catherine showed so much hope for the future. We still have to lives our live.

Summary: Better than the movie
Review: I saw the movie first, and then decided to read the book. I thought the book was much better than the movie, even though I loved the movie..The book was much more detailed and the story was better.....
