Yea... Did you notice, those everlasting love stories of his is only about 200 pages long (ex: Notebook, AWTR). As for the other books that is not about rare love, it's like near or more than 400 pages long. ;D But... I agree with you Katryna. His other novels are great, but it's not capturing our imagination and heart with the rare and intense love of two people.

I have read every single book of his (Im a long time fan!) Well, except Three Weeks With My BrotherIf anyone has any questions about any (like which is the best and worst and what would interest you, you can just ask!!! But here:
Best: The Notebook by far, and I'm not just saying that because of the movie. I read this book last year.
Other books by him that I loved, Message In a Bottle, The Rescue, and definently The Guardian. (<~~~ a close second next to The Notebook)
I wouldn't say its the worst but I couldn't really get into or relate to Night In Rodanthe. (Or maybe that's because I was in Dallas, TX for a HUGE cheerleading competition and couldn't concentrate. Ehh...)

I love his writing and all his novels to me are good, but I would say that The Notebook, Message in A Bottle, and A Walk To Remember are my favorites.

Hey.. just thought to tell everyone that i got the books today.. My mom suprised me with them.. i was sooo shocked.. The only book i dont have is A Message in the Bottle, A Bend in the Road and A Walk to Remember... I just got done w/ The Notebook.. I noticed it's very different from the movie... Their age, the location, and how they talked about their relationship.. it was good though!

Hey, guys, stop being pessimistic! Of course you can find love like that...I mean, maybe you shouldn't go out looking for someone to remodel a house for you, but I think it's entirely possible that everyone can find a love that just takes their breath away. Then again, maybe I'm just a hopelessly romantic, overly idealistic girl, hehe.

i don't think its possible for everyone...but for the lucky few, yes i'm not pessimistic, but i'm not unrealistic either. it would realistic to say that in life, i probably won't find a love like that because i think if you look to hard for it, you'll never be satisfied with anything less if everyone talked and perfectly answered questions like all of Nicholas Sparks characters, the world would be a much different place, lol.

Yea i always kept thinking i hope i find love like allie and noahs bc it was so pure.. you know.. so rare... I think that now a lot of couples just get fed up and dont work out their problems and get divorced that's stupid.. thats all what relationships are about working together through good times and bad...

I read AWTR before the movie came out and since then I told myself that if any other Nick sparks movie were to be made I would read the book before the movie...so I read the Notebook a few months back, before the movie release, and it became my favorite book. There's something about that book that makes you want to never put it down even after you've finished reading it. So after I saw the movie, I read it again. It's like the story is so powerful it just draws you in and you can't get away from it... Okay..sorry that got a little overly obsessed there, but all of his books are good...it's just some are better than others and you can tell he's a true romantic and his characters are so wonderful xoxo- Jayme Now if only one of his characters could pop out of the book and come be my prince charming...
