hate hate hated the ending. but not for the reasons that probably everyone else did. first off... i wasn't totally drawn in by the romance. savannah bugged me a bit and when she said goodbye to john i wasn't overly sad. i mean, seriously, that happens all the time... people just move on... except that she didn't really. sure she married (what's his name?), but as soon as john came back, you knew she was still in love with him. kudos to john for keeping it real and not giving in to savannah since she was married... but the kicker for me was when she looked out at the full moon on the last page and john was watching her. she made her choice... and it wasn't john. be fair to (seriously, what's his name? tim?)... don't hold on to your past love and look at the full moon every month and reminisce about your summer with john. get over it! the best part for me, though... john's relationship with his dad.

Nicholas Sparks never fails to make a truly memorable love story that will fill up your heart and leave it aching for you.

Savannah isn’t loyal to anyone and can’t handle hardship in a relationship. L woman.

The book was biter-sweet. I love the sweet and heartbreaking moments. The end surprised me. I loved this book.

Hmmmm what did i think of this one?? I watched the movie a while back before reading this and i really liked the movie. Now after reading the book I'm kind of thinking that I may have to re watch it to see what was good about it. This is probably one of the first times that anyone has said that they prefer the movie over the book! I felt like Nicholas Sparks was just trying to hop on the band wagon of writing about asperger's syndrome. I also thought that he was trying to put too much sad stuff into one book and in doing that it made the book feel less real to me. I don't believe that that much bad stuff can happen to one person in a lifetime. I guess it was an ok book but I'm disappointed as I remember really enjoying the movie and almost crying at the end (I almost NEVER cry in sad movies or books so for me to almost cry is a big thing!)

This is (I think) the BEST Nicholas Sparks book. It's so sad and you feel so sorry for him.
