Dear John
by Nicholas Sparks
For once, the movie was better than the book! Though chick-lit, the movie narration was good and it was very fast-paced.
This book is about an angry rebel named John Tyree, who doesn't get along with his father, dropped out of school and is enlisted in the army. He is on a vacation and meets Savannah Curtis. Both of them fall in love with each other and John promises to attend her college graduation after a year when he finishes his tour. They promise to write to each other so that they feel they are together every day.
But the incident on 9/11 makes John feel that he needs to re-enlist. John returns home to meet Savannah now married and still is his true love, which is the hardest decision of his life to meet her!
The part I really did not understand was when John meets Savannah after his dad's death, she talks to him and asks him if he can help her clean the dens! Seriously....???
Favorite lines from the book :
I finally understood what true love meant...love meant that you care for another person's happiness more than your own, no matter how painful the choices you face might be.
Our story has three parts: a beginning, a middle, and an end. And although this is the way all stories unfold, I still can't believe that ours didn't go on forever.
Regrets about the journey, maybe, but not the destination.
