Title: Triter than Fiction
Product review: Famed maudlin romance author Nicholas Sparks leaves his wife and half dozen kids behind to travel the world with his brother. Interspersed with descriptions of world famous cultural sites (which, by the way, appear entirely wasted on the Mssrs. Sparks) is the story of Nicholas Sparks' rather unexpectedly difficult childhood. Unfortunately, despite having a story that almost writes itself, Mr. Sparks drowns this book in overwrought, artificial-feeling emotional display. God knows, Mr. Sparks is not particularly gifted in understatement or novelty of expression - and, even with a strong plot, this book is nearly unreadable because of these shortcomings.If, however, you are a big Nicholas Sparks fan, you will be happy to find out that his life reads like a Sparks' novel. This book has everything, except fiction, that makes a Sparks' novel a Sparks' novel.
