Title: Not as good as The Notebook, but still worthwhile
Product review: I really enjoyed A Message in a Bottle although I can appreciate why some readers were disappointed. While the book is enjoyable it does not live up to the standards set in The Notebook. That may be due to the fact that The Notebook was based on a true story about Nicholas Sparks wife's grandparents. I do, think, however, that if you allow yourself to suspend belief and be entertained, A Message in a Bottle is a very romantic and entertaining book. Just be careful, because if it pulls you in, you'll need a few tissues. I still think Nicholas Sparks is one of the best writers to reach a woman's heart. And I agree with the reader who wrote that D.M. Roman (the author of Fried Calamari) can really reach a woman's mind.
