Title: The Message in the Bottle is no Notebook.
Product review: After reading the Notebook, Sparks, a new author seemed to have captured the story of undying love. I had found myself amazed that a man who wrote fiction could grasp the underpinnings of unconditional love and move the reader to tears. However, this book paled in comparison. The characters were poorly developed and the plot seemed far fetched. The book droned on about the lead character's son Kevin, yet failed to develop a reason for even mentioning the son. Additionally, the relationship between Theresa and Garret did not appear to emmulate "love". I read that the Notebook, although fiction, had some basis in reality as it described Spark's grandparents relationship. However, Message in the Bottle left me with no message at all.
