Message in a Bottle

Rating:
Summary: Very moving. Best love story in a long time.
Review: I loved the book and the love letters were incrediable. I am almost afraid to see the movie worried that it won't be as good.

Rating:
Summary: Greatest book I have ever read
Review: I thought it was the greatest book I have ever read. It was one I couldnt stand to put down at night.

Rating:
Summary: A masterpiece that will bring tears to your eyes.
Review: The book was so great that it played on my thoughts long after I read it. I couldn't put it down and even when I did, I couldn't leave it alone for more than five minuets. All I can say is "Thanks Nicholas Sparks, you have once again proved yourself a master novelist."

Summary: A wonderful love story with a twist
Review: This is a definate buy for those whom love "love". I cannot wait until the movie comes out! Hard to put down (I read it in 3 days).

Rating:
Summary: A wonderful look a love and loss.
Review: I just finished this book in two days. Once I started I could not put it down. This is the kind of book that makes you look at love in a new light. I recommend it to anyone.

Summary: I was searching for a mindless read
Review: and boy, did I get it with Message. It has been ages since I have read a book so poorly written, with characters so one-dimensional and with dialogue that would embarrass a Harlequin romance writer. I am glad to have finished this book because I laughed my way through it (sometimes until the tears rolled) - although I am certain this was not the effect that Sparks intended with his sappy, stupid story.

Summary: I was very disappointed!!
Review: I was so anxious to read this book after reading the book jacket and seeing the movie trailers. It really looked like a tear-jerking romance! However, what had the potential of a great romance turned-out to be a sappy love story with shallow, immature characters and a predictable plot. I never shed a single tear and in fact my skin was crawling with distaste by the time I finished the book.

Summary: Wonderful Romance - Tastefully Written
Review: I read Nicholas Spark's novel "The Notebook" - a friend of Nicholas Sparks worked with my husband and told him to give me The Notebook. After reading it......I waited with baited breath for another Sparks' novel. Once I read "Message In A Bottle", I am now a full-fledged Fan of Nicholas Sparks. The book grabs you and holds you in its grasp until you never want to let go.......It only took me a few weeks to read!!!

Rating:
Summary: Deeply moving, beautifully written, extremely compelling
Review: Are there enough positive adjectives? I loved this book. Garret's letters alone are worth the price. So many books are good for one read and then off to the thrift store they go... Not this one. I'm keeping it. Get your own!

Rating:
Summary: Most terrible book ever written!
Review: Nicholas Sparks needs to take a beginner's writing class. The plot is cliched (man falling for woman, man dies and leaves romantic tragedy behind), the characters one-dimensional, and his prose is riddled with hackneyed phrases, empty description, and boring dialogue. How this book ever became a bestseller is shocking to me. I was left literally gagging at the end and believe this will be the first time a movie surpasses a book in meaning and beauty for me. At least with a movie you have beautiful scenery to watch.
