hsinclair 's review for:

Message in a Bottle by Nicholas Sparks
3.0

I read the Notebook, and I certainly expected more of the same from Nicholas Sparks. Well, I got it but this story wasn't nearly as compelling as well as unnecessarily slow. Of course it was sweet and whimsical, and I liked the premise, but I found that things moved just way too slow and predictably.

I did like the characters, and I think this was a realistic look at relationships and how people - normal, flawed people - deal with them both inside and out.

Overall, an enjoyable read but not as good as I expected.
