Summary: Could not put it down, but disappointment came in the end
Review: Message in a Bottle was great. I had trouble putting the book down, so I could go to bed at night. I found myself procrastinating in the day to read. It was an exciting love story that captured my deepest thoughts. It could of at least ended more on an up-note, compared to the disappointing and sad ending.

Summary: Why is THIS a bestseller?
Review: C'mon Ladies! This book is so hilarious, I can't believe that we are spending our hard-earned dollars on this! I admire Mr. Sparks' attempts at romance, but it is the most predictable corny book with the worst dialogue I think I've read since Muffy and Bif walked Spot to the park. Nick Sparks has the good fortune to be Warner Books Hollywoodized author of the year, but he's no literary wonder. Try Wally Lamb if you want a hanky-worthy book.

Summary: MESSAGE TO THE HEART From Message in a Bottle!
Review: Nicholas Sparks clearly is a young man with an OLD Soul. This book takes you into the hearts and souls of two people very much in Love. Two people that had always loved each other. They are Soul Mates with a destiny. I will now, and forever be looking for the "Message in a Bottle". Thank You Nicholas for the EXCELLENT book. I purposely waited for just the right moment to finish this wonderful Love story. I may have to read it again....Thank You, Rosi Bentley

Summary: A different kind of love story
Review: I read The Notebook and wanted more. This is certainly what I was looking for. Theresa and Garrett may seem to be from two different worlds but their underlying passion for "the right one" comes along at just the right time. Yeah, sure, the message in a bottle sounds a bit corny, but once you get through the search for the author of the messages you'll not be able to put the book down. N. Sparks please continue your splendid writing with such quiet passion! It was a great summer beach read!

Summary: The bottle should have broke - or sunk with it's protagonist
Review: Another bomb from Nick Sparks. I've explained the basic premise to about a dozen people, and every one of them has guessed the plot to a "T". The "messages" that the main character finds are the most contrived, embarrasingly stupid pieces of pulp mush I have ever had the displeasure of reading. There wasn't a page I read that wasn't predictable for it's outcome. There was never any sense of mystery about whether the two main characters would meet and fall in love. It boiled down to an argument of who was going to move in with who, and THAT's why they "broke up". I encourage everyone to read this book, just because it's so laughably bad. Or just read the Weekly World News, at least there is a sence of drama in it's pages....

Summary: More like "5 hankies"
Review: This book truly tore at my soul. As in The Notebook, Sparks has once again allowed us into the very depths of a romantic relationship...the characters are believable, the circumstances of their coming together definitely unique, yet no fairy tales here. The characters face the challenges of every day people, and you find yourself asking (at least I did) what would I do if I were in Theresa's shoes? Sparks shares with us the beauty of this one-in-a-million relationship and the trials it must face. The love between Garrett and Theresa is one which will live on in the hearts of the readers long after the last page is read.

Summary: Don't waste your time
Review: If you like sappy, corny, love stories, based on just two characters who are really not all that interesting or likable....Then you will enjoy this book. I had the audio version with Kathleen Quinlan and Bruce Boxleitner as narrators. Bruce's southern accent was pretty fake and kept distracting me. Kathleen's narration was lacking warmth and failed to draw me into the story. But considering the material they had to work with...you can't really fault them.

Summary: Left me disappointed
Review: This is the only Nicholas Sparks book I was a little disappointed with. I enjoyed three quarters of it but hated the ending. I really didn't expect it.

Summary: How does he do it ?
Review: Once again I'm amazed. It may be a step above Harlequin Romances, but I love it !! I was sniffling and leaking, totally wrung out emotionally, and blissfully so. Young Mr. Sparks knows where our buttons are and plays them like a virtuoso. Thank you.
