The Rescue

Nicholas Sparks

3.88 AVERAGE


I recently read this book, and found myself asking "why hadn't I read this before?"
It was one of my favorite Nicholas Sparks books. Great story, good romance. I would have given it a higher score- but there was about 25% of the story that really annoyed me. I didn't feel as if Sparks concluded that part of the story as well as he could have.
I see myself re-reading this in the future, and hoping I will have more understanding the next time around.

Another great story by Nicholas Sparks. I really love his novels. This story had everything from happy moments to really sad moments and it had me captured from beginning to end.

Hugely tragic, interesting twist, and teary!!

Found myself without a book while my husband was napping during a weekend away. Dug through a basket of books and found a Reader's Digest collection of 4 condensed books. Surprised to see that this paperback is originally 350+ pages. RD cut it down to 139, and I can't imagine what I missed! May have to check it out of the library to re-read!
