Nicholas Sparks Part 3

Let us continue discussing the amazing novels by Nicholas Sparks! His books are simply so magical and fantastic that I need to split them into so many post to tell you all one simple message – NICHOLAS SPARKS’ NOVELS ARE AWESOME!

So have you been reading any of Nicholas Sparks novels or watched any movies based on Sparks’ novels? I have finished these two books earlier on which I would love to recommend to everyone of you reading this! And after you read Sparks novels and got hooked by it, do me a favour, spread the good words around to all your friends and families!

THE CHOICE. When Travis Parker first met his new neighbour, Gabriella (Gabby) Holland, he was astounded by the way she treated him. Gabby was cool as cucumber and to certain extend rather rude to him due to some misjudgment. When Travis slowly explained the misunderstanding among them and when Gabby tried to give second thought to her relationship between her and Kelvin (her boyfriend), chemistry really occurred between them. And perhaps one of Nicholas Sparks’ finest novel, it relates not only the present and also to the future. Sparks had also surprised his readers by bringing them on a roller coaster trip at the second half of this novel.

Given THE CHOICE to love someone else, would Travis make the choice to stay aside who he really love or leave North Carolina to search for his true love? Despite setbacks and odds, to what extend would Travis keep the hope of love alive? Readers would definitely not be disappointed by how Nicholas Sparks brought them all to an adventure of making the choice in life. Truly worth reading especially towards the second half. Packed with romance and adequate surprise simultaneously. No doubt Sparks is truly the best love storyteller of the century!

I guess what I’m trying to say is that you two make me believe that true love really exists. And that even the darkest hours can’t take that away.

Nicholas Sparks in The Choice

If conversation was the lyrics, laughter was the music, making time spent together a melody that could be replayed over and over without getting stale.

Nicholas Sparks in The Choice

If you are thinking that The Choice has caused your tears to fall, wait till you read THE LUCKY ONE by Nicholas Sparks too which is published in 2008! Yea it is a recent and new novel which still successfully captivates the attention of all Sparks’ fans.

THE LUCKY ONE. How many of us do believe in lucky charm? Civilians like all of us might agree or vice versa. However, little do I know great soldiers, marine and armies who show their unflinching loyalty would definitely believe in lucky charm. Sparks told us how a fortunate marine Logan Thibault had survived in so many tragedies and accidents and linked him to a photo which he had found. Inspired by his friend, Logan travelled all the way to find the special one and thank her.

As Logan embarked on an adventure which could change his life and also Elizabeth life, would they come to a happy ending where Sparks would satisfied every reader? And one spacious element of this novel is that Sparks packed the romance and the mystery and suspense evenly together in one great book under the beautiful title of THE LUCKY ONE. If you think that you need some turning point in life, why not immerse yourself in this book? I can assure you that you will love this novel as much as I do or even more!

Since Spring is coming to the Southern Hemisphere, pack yourself with a good novel when you enjoy the scorching sun at the beach. Trust me, pack a Sparks novel with you and you will make the fullest out of a dull weekend. Anyone could also make the fullest out of your free time with Sparks novel.

Nicholas Sparks Part 2

In one of my previous post, I have mentioned and recommended Nicholas Sparks to all of you. If you have missed the post, you can always click here to read it and drop your comment please!

Let us get back to Nicholas Sparks novels. Apart from The Notebook and The Wedding, I am going to recommend two more Nicholas Sparks novels that are going to captivate your attention. You can have my words for that.

NIGHTS IN RODANTHE. One of Nicholas Sparks novels that causes my adrenaline to race through my body. Nights in Rodanthe is definitely one page-turner. As you read, you are amazed and taken by astonishment by how Sparks tells the story. The writing technique is definitely different from the others that I have read then. So I found it so different and the fresh writing technique alongside with the interesting plot have captured my heart once again. Curiosity kills the cat. I reckon that I am supposed to finish the novel at college but adrenaline gush compels me to race against the planned schedule. I finish the novel before my train come and all I remember I tweeted about this novel the very next instant.

While I sleep, I dream of you, and when I wake, I long to hold you in my arms. If anything, our time apart has only made me more certain that I want to spend my nights by your side, and my days with your heart.

Nights in Rodanthe by Nicholas Sparks

A beautifully-told romantic story of Paul and Adrienne, a novel that leaves you speechless upon completing it. Of course tears are parts and parcels of Nicholas Sparks works. Even the tears are really worth it as you would definitely be crying for the joy and tragedy of everything. It is no doubt that people compliments Sparks as the best love story teller of the century!

THE RESCUE. How do you learn to trust again? Obviously Sparks once again never fail to explain the simple fact of human nature precisely and tactfully to all his vivid readers. How does the chemistry between Taylor and Denise begins? And to what extend a single-mother will do to help her child with speech problem besides encountering all harsh moments in life? An battle axe with a problematic child is the very last thing a man would want. And how could a tragedy at a tender age of five affect the perspective of a man when he grows up? When two people outside the world waiting for their rescuer, would Taylor and Denise able to savage one another before life turns into a true nightmare?

Miracles happen? Although the probability might be very minute in real life, it is always great to splurge yourself in the world of literature where you can cast away all your worries. In The Rescue, Sparks wants you to see the miracles occurring in our daily life. Every details in the book seems so connected to all the readers despite there are only words and no image to convey the message.

So if you really wish to unwind yourself this weekend, I can strongly recommend Nicholas Sparks novel to all of you outside. I can assure you that once you read a Nicholas Sparks, your heart will tell you not to let go and urge you to read more of his works. They are not only heart captivating, interesting and fascinating, they are simple, some fantasy though yet simply beautiful.

Nicholas Sparks

For the past few months, I have been reading Nicholas Sparks books. I read which is ordinary and usual but reading Nicholas Sparks books profusely is totally insane! In less than half a year time, I have actually finished 7 Nicholas Sparks novels which to me is superb and amazing too! For the first time I have actually found an author who can really captivates my heart and attention. His works are so fantastic, flawless and tempting which urge me to read books after books. And at a briefest instant, reading Nicholas Sparks books gives me a whole new perspective towards an important element in life – romance.

Cast aside the science fantasy of Stephenie Meyer and JK Rowling, Nicholas Sparks explores the deep side of every living soul. The very first time when I read The Notebook I was astounded by Sparks as he told the story from a perspective of a guy instead of female. There have been many romantic stories being told from the perspective of girls. Now, why not give it a change and let the world read, hear and listen to the guy’s perspective towards love.

The 45-year-old author is going to strike the world of literature by storm in September with his new work ‘Safe Haven‘

If Nicholas Sparks has a book tour in Perth, Australia, despite all odds I will attend his book signing ceremony!

I am immensely in love with all his books!

The Notebook marks the beginning of my adventure with Sparks novels.

I remembered reading FAMOUS magazine when they interviewed Dear John star, Channing Tatum. I reckon I got Dear John and The Notebook mixed up then. Mindlessly I ran into Angus and Robertson and purchased The Notebook. As I read The Notebook, I realised that I bought the wrong book. Silly me! However, Sparks writing certainly has a hook that captured my heart and ignites my passion for reading! And I reckon that is how I set sail to explore more of Sparks.

The Notebook which has been made into film is definitely a page-turner and a novel worth reading. Complimenting Westlife ‘I Wanna Grow Old With You‘ to The Notebook will definitely make you end up with boxes of damp tissues for such a nice novel!

The Wedding which is the sequel to The Notebook is another Sparks’ must-read novel. Of course you’ll have to read The Notebook to figure out some of the characters first. Overall The Wedding focuses more on Noah Coulhen’s (from The Notebook) daughter and son-in-law. Sparks told us how a lawyer who has merely ruined his own marriage savage his marriage and the effort he has put in to make himself a success in romance just like his father-in-law. A touching novel which guarantee you to keep on flipping the page despite the clock is ticking away! Syncing Shane Filan’s “Beautiful In White” into your iPod, iPhone or iPad and blasting it while reading The Wedding is totally fabulous and terrific! Trust me for that!

In fact, there are still lots of Nicholas Sparks novels which I want to recommend. However, instead of throwing everything in a post, I rather challenge any one of you out there to go read them yourself! It is never too late for any of us to settle yourself on a good book. Whether you end up with boxes of damp tissues or damp cheek or not, Nicholas Sparks stories are somehow more down-to-earth and practical.

Sparks’ works have really changed my perspective and right now, it is somehow I feel connected to his novels and I got a feeling there are still lots more waiting ahead for me to discover. This is one thing I am going to let you all know too! All my previous love stories are deeply inspired by NICHOLAS SPARKS! Next time I will blog more about Nicholas Sparks’ novels which I have completed!

Nights in Rodanthe

The other day I was in search for a good novel to spend during my weekend. After all, it feels great to pamper myself by splurging in the fantastic world of literature. Guess what, I finished 2 maths tests and 1 EALD exam! Maths tests were awesome and fabulous! 90% for both Mathematics 3CD and Specialist Mathematics 3CD although when I got back the paper, I was like “Damn. Careless mistakes!“. EALD Semester 1 Exam was quite a challenge. The listening texts were hard to get, perhaps due to either the slang of an indigenous Aboriginal and an Australian Chinese or the pace they speak. Listening comprehension was horrible. I reckon that is my very first time to sit for listening comprehension. In Malaysia, you do not have even a single listening comprehension test from Year 1 straight up to Form 5! It’s all in-class work which means NOTHING!

Reading comprehension was shocking enough. Theme: Politics and Refugees. Reading and viewing focused entirely on refugees and the statistic provided was a challenge to synthesis. Thank goodness the paper made a smooth turning towards the end. The essay topics were a total relief! Thank goodness!

With so many ongoing tests and exam last week, I was glad I managed to space out some private time of mine for an absolutely romantic, nice, page-flipping novel. The kind of novel I could not let my hands off from it for it captivates the reader’s heart as your fingers anticipate to flip over the page and you are expecting something that piles on your suspense. If you had followed me on Twitter, you could have known the novel that I have read as I tweeted about it immediately after I finished reading epilogue of the novel.

NIGHTS IN RODANTHE by Nicholas Sparks is definitely one of the best, most romantic, touching and heart-captivating novel yet. Unlike his previous works that I have read and fallen immensely in love with them, Sparks pens the novel with different techniques and tells his readers a story that definitely makes them end up with boxful of damp tissues. The story tells us how a divorce woman finds her true love, after her husband left her for another young woman. Despite being trashed and appalled, Adrienne by fate has met Paul, 54-year-old surgeon who has a shadowed past. Having neglected his wife and son which ended up the wife filing for divorce and for once being unsuccessful in  an operation, Paul went to a bed-and-breakfast inn in Rodanthe, the same Inn where Adrienne worked – just to help her friend over the weekend.

Sparks and chemicals ignites as the two progresses from unknown strangers to something beyond the reader’s expectations. The way Sparks tells the story is totally amazing. As he tactfully and precisely describes the details wherever appropriate and with his amazing thesaurus and vocabulary, the novel has truly captivated my attention and desire to flip page after page. The urge to find out the entire story Adrienne was telling her daughter, Amanda is totally tempting. The novel is written in such a way that Adrienne and Paul’s amazing love story is told from the perspective of Adrienne to her daughter in her kitchen.

Anyone of you who read Sparks’ novel would definitely find this novel an absolutely worth-reading novel and perhaps you could be like me, totally amazed and astonished for his flawless work and the way he tells the story. Sparks has definitely packed all the essential elements of a romantic novel in this work and after reading it, you’ll know why so many people give him extremely positive feedback!

If anyone of you wants to look for a good novel or venture into something different apart from Stephenie Meyer, J K Rowling, C S Lewis and other authors, Nicholas Sparks is definitely one American author you will fall immensely in love with. You will definitely not regret reading Sparks’ books.

Wonder where you can find Sparks books, visit your local bookshop now and ask them for Nicholas Sparks books! I have found some bookshops in Australia and Malaysia selling Nicholas Sparks books so if you really do want to splurge yourself with a good novel, talk to your lecturer/ teacher, inquiring them about Nicholas Sparks and drop by any bookshop to pick up your personal copy!
