( )Title: Nights in Rodanthe Author: Nicholas Sparks Genre: Romance # of pages: 222 Start date: N/A End date: N/A Borrowed/bought: bought from bookstore My rating of the book, F- [worst] to A [best]: B Description of the book: At age sixty, Adrienne Willis is faced with the fact that her daughter Amanda has been unable to regain her emotional equilibrium after her husband died of cancer. Adrienne becomes increasingly worried about the impact on Amanda's two young sons. Amanda rejects her mother's attempts to lend support, since she believes that her divorced mother does not "know what it is like to live through something like " the death of a loved one. Adrienne decides that Amanda needs to learn about a part of her mother's life that has been kept secret from her family, and as she reviews the items she has saved from her NIGHTS IN RODANTHE and as she rereads the letter from Paul (Flanner), by the end of the first chapter not only has the complete plot been revealed but we guess the conclusion in a general way. Review: Suprisingly, I thought this book was kind of mediocre. I liked the plot, and the gushy romance but being that I am only 24, it made the story of Adrienne almost unrelateable for me. It was a very easy and light read. I would reserve a book like this for a vacation or train ride. At first I thought the story was just to simple, and then I just couldn't put it down. Nicholas Sparks has a talent to make heroes of normal day-to-day people. I find most of his stories to show that love is the ultimate sacrifice, and what when love is real, it transcends life itself.Now I want to watch the movie. I became a devotee of Nicholas Sparks books after I read The Notebook and Message in a Bottle, but nothing has measured up since then. A pleasant, quick read though. This book was really good. it was really sad but i enjoyed it. His books are all kind of similar but this one was very easy to read. i would recommend this to anyone who enjoys his books. 0.222 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
