This was the first book by Nicholas Sparks that I read and I must say I wasn't impressed at all. Although I really enjoyed to read the first part of the book - getting to know the characters, their background, how they met, how they fell in love -, the second part was quite depressing and, at times, repetitive. It seemed to me that Sparks was trying to make it bigger, but it didn't turn out very good, because he kept writing on and on about the same issue for, at least, three chapters. Can't say I liked the ending, maybe because, since there isn't anything fantastical about this book - which are the kind of books that I usually read -, I was expecting something closer to reality, something readers could relate to. However, when we get to the end, you will think to yourself 'this only happens in books and films' and you're probably right. Despite all of that, I quite enjoyed reading it and I might try some other Sparks' book.
