Title: Moderately entertaining- but barely worth your time
Product review: Perhaps I was so disappointed with "Message in a Bottle" because I had just read "Angela's Ashes" - a truly heart-wrenching story. I found Nicholas Sparks' writing poor and the story line trite - lonely divorcee finds a message in a bottle from a lonely widower, who she then hunts down? Okay, maybe, but the plot goes WAY downhill from there. As for the ending, anyone who didn't see it coming obviously was too caught up in the romance to see this book for what it truly is - a daytime soap opera during sweeps week. That may be fine for someone looking to kill a few hours, but if you're interested in literature, look elsewhere.
