Dear John I really like ready Sparks. Used to be a real mystery lover, but grew out of that though I do enjoy a good one from time to time. I know some think Sparks is too sentimental, but I think he captures the heart so well. He had me from THE NOTEBOOK and now I read just about everything he puts out.
