Nicholas Sparks book appreciation

i thought there was a thread but i cant find it, so i am just going to start a new one. If there already is one, feel free to close this thread.

I just finished reading "the guardian" today. I have to admit i liked the books, though sometimes it was a little boring. It is not like his other books, and i think that made it so different. It was a sad book, and i would recommend it to anyone that likes Nicholas Sparks

My favorite book of his has to be "A walk to remember" i read it before the movie came out, and that made the difference, i also liked the book "The rescue" and "Message in a bottle" i didnt really like the book "Nights of Rodhine (spelling)".

We used to have a thread on Nicholas Sparks but I think that was a while ago.

I [img]smilies/love.gif[/img] his books and they are the sort of stories that I like to read over and over. I don't know if I can pick a favourite. Possibly A Walk to Remember or The Notebook.

I haven't read his new one yet but I want to get it! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I absolutely love the books by Nicholas Sparks! And I really want to read his new one, but it won't be released here until August, so I have to wait. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] It was much better when "Nights in Rodanthe" was released, 'cause we got it two weeks earlier than the rest of the world. [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

The first book I've read, was "The Rescue" and I loved it! It was such a great book that I went shopping the next day, just to buy all his other books! Then I've read "A Walk To Remember" in only one night. Uhm, yes, "night", 'cause I finished it at 5 a.m. [img]smilies/blush.gif[/img] But it was wonderful! I was crying the whole time, but I loved the book! I guess I don't have to say that I wasn't too much impressed by the film, do I?! [img]smilies/redface.gif[/img]

About "Nights in Rodanthe": It wasn't one of his best works, but it was very good and it took me only two days to read it. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I've only read two, and I read A Walk To Remember after I watched the movie, so it wasn't all that great to me, I preferred the movie. Then again, all the people who read the book first preferred the book.

Anywayz, I just got done reading Message in a Bottle like half an hour ago and I just need to say that I LOVED it. It had me in tears so bad. It had me crying so bad I don't think I could bear to read it again. I'm going to start on The Notebook tonight, I heard it was really good as well.

Anywayz, I was just wondering if someone could put up a list of his books, you know for the next time I'm in the bookstore?

Hmm, everybody keeps telling me that they had to cry while reading "Message in a Bottle", but I didn't. [img]smilies/blush.gif[/img] I mean, it was sad, yes, but not that sad. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I read "The Notebook" too, but somehow it wasn't really that good as everybody keeps on saying, in my opinion. [img]smilies/redface.gif[/img] I would say that it was even a bit boring, but that's just me. [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img]

A list of his books? Okay, here you go... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

The Notebook (October 1996)
Message in a Bottle (April 1998)
A Walk to Remember (October 1999)
The Rescue (September 2000)
A Bend in the Road (September 2001)
Nights in Rodanthe (September 2002)
The Guardian (April 8, 2003)

Actually, all of Sparks' books are lovestories, but I would say that "Message in a Bottle" and "The Rescue" are the best, and they are in some ways similar to AWTR. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I would recommend "the guardian" if you like love stories but want something more than just a love story, if you want mystery and adventure "the guardian" is great.

The ranking of all the books i have read that i have liked from him are...
1.A Walk to Remember
2.Message in a Bottle
3.The Guardian
4.The Rescue
5.The Notebook
6.Nights of Rodine

I just saw Sparks' newest book at Publix and it looked pretty good. Anyone read it?

A Walk To Remember and The Notebook will always be my two favorites...I think they are filming a movie version of The Notebook with Ryan Gosling as Noah and the girl from The Hot Chick as Allie. I can't wait to see it!

I've recently purchased A Bend In the Road, but haven't really started (on chapter 2 right now). So far, so good. The only other Sparks book I've read was A Walk To Remember, which, I must say, was a lot better than the film version. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I read A Walk To Remember during the summer & loved it (I loved the movie too). I finally got around to picking up another of his books today, which is The Rescue; I'm going to start reading that one tonight. I really wanted to get The Notebook, but the stupid bookstore didn't have it. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] But The Rescue looks good all the same.
