Mr. Sparks, you owe me big time!
New York journalist Jeremy Marsh goes to small town Boone Creek in North Carolina in order to find out the reasons behind the mysterious lights that appear in an ancient cemetery.
In addition to talking to several people in town, he studies lots of old diaries and documents at the local library. Most of what he finds, is of no importance whatsoever. Theories based on wishful thinking and imagination. Until he finally finds the truth, on one single sheet of paper.
Why is it then that we have to read through all this boring documentation together with Jeremy? Uninteresting and repetitive as it is. A few colourful townspeople at the local café do little to brighten the gloomy undertaking.
A love story has been thrown in. It is well known that love works in mysterious ways, but when Jeremy falls for town librarian Lexie, the wonder of love is stretched mighty far. Super attractive Jeremy lives in New York, which is full of gorgeous and NICE!!! women, and he picks Lexie. The most annoying, stubborn, peculiar "heroine" there ever was. I wanted to hit her more than once, downright impertinent and badly behaved as she was.
I managed a third of the book before I gave up, skimmed through the rest, peaked at the end - yess, the lovebirds do finally shake hands - and closed it with a sigh.
I got this book in hardcover, and based upon previous experience was looking forward to another excellent read. What a total waste of money.
Mr. Sparks, you owe me big time!
Great Reading!!!
I loved this book, and even more so after I read the sequel, "AT FIRST SIGHT". Jeremy Marsh the main character in both books is the ideal man all women would love to have love them, the way he loved Lexie. The supernatural or unexplained happenings are an added bonus, but you don't really get the full impact of that part until you read "At First Sight. I would love to see a movie made from both books. I still have more of Ncholas Sparks books to read, and I can't wait. Read both books, this one first, you won't be disappointed.
true believer
this book was absolutely one of his best. he always knows how to get ahold of the audiences emotional feelings. so awesome!
love stories always tugs at my heart
If you like love stories, this novel has a cute one intertwined with the main story. I did like the main story though.
I am a true believer
I have read about 6 other Nicholas Sparks books. I liked this book and sort of did not like this book. I thought that the characters took awhile to get together. I wish that they had a better way of meeting each other. I did not like the female character in this book. She drove me crazy! She liked him, then did not like him. I should should tell you about the book. Jeremy is a journalist for the magazine Scientiic advocate. He has an assignment to do a story of a haunted cememtery. When he gets to this city, he falls in love with the librian Lexie.
Funny thing about this the author's book, even though, you might not crazt about the story, you still can not put this book down and that is what happened to me.
