Review title: Flimsy Characters, Not Enough Conflict
Product review: I bought the book because the movie is about to come out in theaters. I've never read Nicholas Sparks before but I loved The Notebook (movie) so I thought I'd give this one a try. Right away, I was bored. All the characters were too nice, doing everything in everyone else's best interest, pretty much all the time. I didn't feel a deep connection between ANY of the characters. I think Sparks was trying to portray love at its highest form, where everyone thinks of other people's needs first, but it just didn't work for me. No excitement. John was so good and "reformed" that he barely wanted to kiss Savannah. And yet, he blows up over her suggestion regarding his father (whom he never felt particularly close to). He falls in love too fast, is then scared to act on it, and the story overall feels like it was trying too hard. I'm hoping the movie will be better.
