I had finished reading Nights in Rodanthe by Nicholas Sparks.
It's a really nice book, quite a tear-jerker. I cried when I was reading it. Maybe, it's because I'm more emotional than others.
Anyway, it's a recommendation. It's a traditional girl meet guy story but there is a twist. They both have children and are middle-aged. They both have emotional baggages and painful pasts to carry. They met at a seaside Inn at Rodanthe. They fell in love. There is no "they lived happily ever after" but the love they had will always be kept in the heart of the woman.
In 2008, there was a movie adaptation of the book. I don't think the movie was that good compared to the book. I only watched the first part of the movie yet the essence seemed wrong. Too many things were changed.
The love between Adrienne and Paul wasn't showed clearly but perhaps it's because it's still the first half of the movie. I should watched the whole movie before making any judgement.
Nicholas Sparks is a good, male romance author. From I've seen and heard, his stories don't have happy endings yet the love is more profound than other romance books.
But, sometimes, it's quite hard to read these kind of books. Not only will I cry, I'll lament about it.
Now, I'm starting on Brisignr by Christopher Paolini. I bought the book long before my exams.
I was so angry when I opened the plastic covering to reveal that the paper cover of the book had been slashed by a penknife.
My precious hard-covered book...
I can't bring it back to exchange since it was bought a long time ago and there is no evidence that it was dued to them.
