Title: Actually, no stars for Nicholas Sparks
Review: Nicholas Sparks seems to be under the mistaken impression that mediocre writing and a contrived plot can be hidden under adjectives and long-winded description. It can't. This is writing for money's sake, without any poetry, emotion, or heart. About four pages into the book, the reader basically can figure out the gist of the plot. And did we really need that five-page description of cooking a crab dinner? Allie and Noah are merely caricatures of actual human beings, and Sparks barely touches real human emotion here.. All in all, a disappointing and actually unbearable reading experience.
