i realized i'm not a nicholas sparks fan anymore. i find this book a letdown, can't say major letdown..slight lang hehe...
though i loved a walk to remember and the notebook so much i remembered i stopped buying his books after having predicted the ending of a bend in the road even midway to its story.
maybe i imagined it to be much of a hardcore love story or a suspense love thriller, if there is such. i found the first few chapters to be too mundane, too ordinary. i mean, most couples are actually going through what was described and i learned nothing new there (or maybe because i just Pex a lot :D ) and those suspicious emails were just sort of a lousy distraction and was never resolved anyway.
the ending may not have been predictable but it was a major disappointment. sigh. i'll still might read his books if my sister still buys them (paging!) but i don't think i'd buy them again for myself. bleh!
how about you, have you read it and actually like it??
I've read both A Walk to Remember and The Notebook but not At First Sight. I've loved the former and also its movie adaptation since I'm a Mandy Moore fan(sshhh!). I'm more into reading Michael Crichton and John Grisham books.
ReplyDeletei love mandy moore too!!!!
ReplyDeleteI was actually quite tempted to buy this book, thanks for the thought, now I won't have to actually buy it hehe. Im more of a Neil Gaiman, fantasy-weird kind of girl. I added you on my blogroll by the way :)
ReplyDeletetnx, jenn...neil gaiman fanatic here too..did you line up for an autograph too???:D
ReplyDeleteHey! I wasn't able to, la kasi ako kasama, but I got a surprise on my birthday when I received a special edition signed copy of Anansi Boys :D Did you have your books signed?
ReplyDeletejenn, sayang we should have met before pa. had my Season of Mists comic book signed. was speechless, all i said was " pls. bring tori here too!" hehe details and pics of that incident here in my blog somewhere too.
ReplyDeleteI've never read Nicholas Sparks pero I just wanted to join in the Mandy Moore love :P
ReplyDeleteOo nga eh sayang talaga! I'll look for that entry and drool na lang wah
ReplyDeleteHehe, Mandy fans! She has a movie coming up with Diane Keaton titled Because I Said So. Unfortunately, I don't think it's gonna be shown here. Didn't see it in clickthecity kasi but I do hope ipalabas pa rin dito.
ReplyDeleteOh I wanna watch that movie. Nandoon si Lauren Graham of Gilmore Girls, who's one of my lesbian crushes :D
