Customer Rating: Summary: where's the beef Comment: i have now read two of spark's novels and my disappointment will prevent me from reading a third. as others have stated, this book is just a cheap knockoff of "the bridges of madison county". why would an author write such a poor copy of a good story? my theory is that good old saint nick is in it for the dough. he put just enough sweet sentimentality in the story to lure in the hopeless romantics who believe that a few days of love and romance at the beach can change us into new creatures and solve all of our problems - past, current, and future. oh that life were that simple!!! you may have fooled some people, nickie, but you can't fool me. Customer Rating: Summary: Cheesy and highly predictable Comment: I have to say the beginning of this book gave me a big warning that the writing was going to be very elementary and to top it all of a sappy love story. I like love stories which is why I picked this book up, but the writing was horrible! I can't believe this is a best selling author. I remember a few year back I read the notebook and a walk to remember and I at least liked those. I was disappointed and I wish he would have done a better job selling the reader this story. Customer Rating: Summary: An outstanding audio acquisition Comment: Nicholas Sparks' NIGHTS IN RODANTHE receives JoBeth Williams' fine narrative style as it provides a novel of heartache and new love. After her husband abandons her for a younger woman, Adrienne flees to the small coastal town of Rodanthe in North Carolina to tend a friend's inn there to find a major storm and a mid-aged man change her life. Their weekend together will make a big difference in this warm romance of love between very different people. An outstanding audio acquisition.
Customer Rating: Summary: Truly Heartwarming Comment: I am not a person who tends to enjoy a "sappy love story" novel but I fell in love with this book after reading only about 3 pages! I couldn't put it down! It shows the true strength of love between 2 characters despite their distance apart and hardships faced in life. Truly is heartwarming... makes you laugh, cry, and just want to run to the one you love and give them a hug at the end! Customer Rating: Summary: excellent book Comment: I found the book to be very well written. Had I not seen the movie first, I would definately have gone to see asap. The book had me in tears when they had their mother and daughter talk about lost love.
