I still think Sparks best book is the Notebook by far, but this one was a very enjoyable read as well and adds suspense to the mix. ( )Nicholas Sparks tried to combine a romance and a thriller, the first half of the novel reads as a romance, the second half as a thriller. The bad guy turns out to be so incredibly bad that the whole thing becomes implausible. A Mystery/Romance novel from Nicholas Sparks. I thought it was a great novel. A little slow at times, but otherwise good.I really hated that Richard(Robert)character. My god was he ever obsessed. I'm happy he's dead.I felt so bad for Jim and Singer. Felt like crying a couple of times. Like the letter Jim had given her. I thought that was sooo sweet, and how he got her a dog. That dog was the greatest thing that happened to her next to Mike of course.I really liked the Jennifer character. I thought she was very smart. Smarter than that Pete cop. I thought he was a real jerk up until three quarters of the novel. Even though Jennifer was only a "Rookie" she did everything possible to find Richard. Going with her instinct. Doing the research about the guy without being told. Beleiving what Mike & Julie told her. Overall i'm impressed that Sparks that he build in some mystery into the story. I give it an 8 out of 10. One of my all time favorites. If I could I would rate it 10 stars instead of 5. tedious, predictable no reviews | add a review
