Title: Another cliche waste of time
Product review: I read MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE thinking, "I hate romances, but how bad can it be? Oprah recommended his other book..." This was a story of a manipulitive woman who searches for the man she has found letters from washed upon the shore. Sparks seems to side at times with this sneaky creature, making her seem "right" at most parts in the novel. I could not take that. The unrealistic part of this novel was that Theresa went all the way to North Carolina to find this mystery man, finds him, and of course they instantly fall in love. This book takes too much patience on the behalf of the reader, from the anything-but-unique love letters, to the frail plot in between, to the cliche, spur-of-the-moment ending. Don't waste your time.
