The Best of Me
by Nicholas Sparks
So I'm giving this 4 stars mainly because it kept my attention, however, this was not my favorite Nicholas Sparks book!
First of all, change The Notebook to a 20 year separation and you basically have The Best of Me. There were just too many similarities to me. Yes there were a few added obstacles in the storyline but that would happen after 20 years.
Secondly, the book was a little too predictable for me. I mean, come on! You're surprised that the ghost in the windbreaker is the jogger he hit with his car? Like that wasn't obvious.
Lastly, why why why would you tell the bar fight scene from the perspective of the semi-unconscious guy on the ground? Talk about anti-climactic! Why couldn't we get a better view of Dawson's last act of heroism? To me, it made his death way less dramatic.
Honestly I don't even know why I'm giving this 4 stars. I just think Nicholas Sparks has a way of keep his readers engaged even when they aren't impressed. I will continue to read each of Nicholas Sparks books no matter what.
