When I first read the back cover of this book, I wasn't sure it would be as interesting as some of his other books. But I was proven wrong and the ending of this book was intense and somewhat unexpected. Nicholas Sparks does a great job of developing all his characters and developing a plot in such a way that you can try and guess what's going to happen but there is really no way to tell. All the loose ends were tied up nicely and it will leave you smiling. A great read if you are looking for romance and suspense all in one

Siempre que siento que tengo que leer algo más ligero me gustar recurrir a autores como Nicholas Sparks, casi nunca me defrauda y en esta ocasión ciertamente no lo ha hecho.

Es una historia sencilla, tranquila incluso, que cuenta como Logan, nuestro protagonista se embarca en un largo viaje en busca de una persona. Me ha gustado mucho Logan como personaje, creo que le ha faltado un poco de profundidad, pero aun así me ha gustado.

Me resulta curioso que Sparks siendo hombre tenga más facilidad para dibujar personajes femeninos que masculinos, tal vez sea el género que escribe, pero lo cierto es que sus personajes femeninos siempre son mucho más complicados.

En fin, una historia sencilla, nada complicada, con su dosis de romance, su dosis de drama, tal vez un poco cliché, chico conoce a chica, se enamoran y en el fondo está el personaje malo que busca que esa relación no funcione... sí bueno, cliché, pero me ha gustado.

Al final del día me gusta mucho como escribe Sparks, tiene una manera sencilla y fluida y nada pegajosa de escribir novela Romántica.

One of the better sparks books in a while.

It was good, too sparks for me, but it was cute.


I had NO idea how much I would love this book!

Great book. Good drama and depth to characters. Logan is fascinating and much more than your standard literary hotty.

I mean, we’ve all seen the movie by now right? Anyway, this book does well in challenging your emotions. Everything is not simply black and white. With every chapter written in the POV of our main characters, you get a dive into who they are and what makes them tick. The Lucky One is a suspenseful, romantic read that may end exactly as you imagine it will, but still leaves you sitting in the words you just took in.

A book that reminded me why Sparks is evergreen - I have been reading Nicholas Sparks since high school, and it has very seldomly missed a mark. I wanted to see if I still liked his writing style, and was met with a positive surprise, though definitely not one of my favourites. Despite the stereotypes (a bit overdone, to be honest), I quite enjoyed reading the full book. The way feelings of love are shown is quite sweet and respectful. Zeus was my absolute favourite character here! Does anyone else want to go inside the book and punch Keith?
