Message in a Bottle

Rating:
Summary: Loved this book!
Review: Read this with an open mind. So the story line may not have been 100% believable, but it is a story...a book for entertainment. Sparks beautifully chronicles the beginning of a romance and the course of emotions that anyone who has experienced a relationship challenged by circumstances will understand. Sparks knows people, emotions, and how to express them. The ending may be predictable, but the way it is presented is heartwrenching to anyone with a soul. I couldn't put it down. Bravo, Mr. Sparks. I loved it!

Summary: A page turner with a sad ending.
Review: Nicholas Spark's Message in a Bottle was fabulous. Buy it today, it's a tear jerker.

Summary: The laughs never stop!
Review: "Message in a Bottle" might have been more aptly named "Rollercoaster of Laughs!" I loved this clever jaunt through the lives of believable yet hilariously spontaneous characters. Strap in for a wild comedic ride, because there's no getting off until Nick Sparks says so! I'm still laughing weeks after reading it, and I don't see myself stopping any time soon! If you like the Three Stooges, Monty Python, Saturday Night Live, Billy Crystal, or anything and everything funny, this is the read for you!!!!

Summary: What a sappy,poorly written waste of time
Review: I was so angry with myself for spending time with this (paperback)book that I threw it away....an act akin to book burning

Rating:
Summary: Mindless drivle.
Review: This book was awful. The premise was bad and I grew to intensely dislike the main character. None of the emotions or reactions of the characters seemed real. I can't believe they are making a movie out of it.

Rating:
Summary: Unbelievable dialogue
Review: I should have guessed that Mr. Sparks' second novel would not be rich in dialogue, based on what I saw in his first novel. I'm still dumbfounded by the whole premise of the book. If you put a message in a bottle, isn't it obvious that SOMEONE will read the message, and your inner most secrets will be known by SOMEONE ELSE? I'm glad I only bought the paperback.

Summary: I like it 'ok' as most either loved or hated this book.
Review: This book seemed to be a potential page turner in the start, but in the middle the pages turned slower. I started the book at the airport, read through on the plane and continued 'in between the flights' type of thing. Once I began to read it at leisure, I began to lose some stimulation in the read. Overall, it can be enjoyable - depending on such variables like your personality or mood. This book has a wide mix of good and bad. It was fun to read at times with a combo of old-fashioned romance, heart-warming tactics and out of the ordinary feel-good miracles. But, it was also kind of lame. Like if you don't like romantic far-fetched sap and underdog romances or unpredictable sadness in your stories. A controversial book. This book has the combination of fun, romantic, silly, disappointing all in one! I am glad that I read it, it was pretty good but I would recommend it at discretion depending on the person who is reading it. I liked it but can't say I loved it, can't say I hated it either. Definitely worth the $7 that I spent, I wonder if the movie is too?

Rating:
Summary: weak story, moralistic, simplistic and dated.
Review: I think it's histerical that by mistake I first wrote a similar, negative review on same title but different author - Jenny Koralek. I read reviews with similar ideas and for a while didn't even realize that there are actually two books with the same title, different authors, but similarly inane. Is this a joke ?

Summary: Highly Entertaining
Review: While the reader must suspend belief, this book is highly entertaining and incredibly romantic. Let yourself go and enjoy. This is one of the two most entertaining books I've read in the past year -- the other being FRIED CALAMARI by D.M. Roman.
