I have read every Nicholas Sparks book, with the exception of three. I always fall in love with his reading, his characters and his charming description of numerous places in North Carolina.

I don't care what you say about Nicholas Sparks. He knows how to write a damn good romance book.

The Wedding is calm ambling quite realistic a bit geriatric.
The Guardian is psychologically insightful at times fairly predictable a little speed at times.
A good read when you are recovering from illness as psychologically quite sustaining.

I have read ALL his books. They are hit and miss. Some are wonderful and romantic and some are sad depressing and romantic. I don't like bad endings in romance tho...

I have become a big fan of Nicholas Sparks. He writes the sort of tear-jerking love stories you would never expect to come from a man. He writes about love like every woman wants it to be! He writes them with a great deal of passion, his characters are also well written and well established.

Just completed reading The Return and found it amazingly interesting. A little twist from many of the books I have read by Nicholas Sparks. I enjoy the settings of North Carolina he chooses to use in most of his books.

I own and have read all but 1 of his books. For the most part they are all excellent. Some of them take a little longer to grab your attention, but always do. I would recommend any of his books.

I've read every book, and I look forward to every new book. His writing style invites you into peoples' lives and develops characters that strum your heart strings. Only had one I didn't like (Dear John was awesome and so depressing). I also enjoyed his non fiction book about travels with his brother. It was fascinating and made me want to adventure to new places with my own brother.
Each new book is like a return home.
