Nights in Rodanthe book review

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.

Updates

Let's see,

I bought Brisingr by Christopher Paolini yesterday. I'm only going to read it when my exams are over. It's 20% off and I got it hard-covered. How good is it? I'm already losing my devotion to action/fantasy books so that's why I can buy it at this time. It's romance for me.

Anyway, buying of the book is to finish the collection of the trilogy and the series. I hate to leave things half-way.

If only Eragon is hard-covered too...

My latest favourite movie is Les Choristes. It means The Choir in English. Although I only watched the later half of the movie in school, I still love it.

It was by chance that I managed to watch it. I was released from class early, and had nothing to do till the next lecture. My friend wanted to get her movie ticket stamped so we went for the movie.

I'm going to borrow it or buy it. Borrowing makes everything easier, I hope it can be found in the library.

I know my school's library has it, but I don't feel like borrowing from there.

My favourite songs includes La nuit, Vois Sur Ton Chemin, Caresse sur l'océan.

The French movie is highly recommended because it is unlike other movies. There is always something different about French movies, be it the way they filmed it or the way the story is presented.

I'm watching The Diving Bell and the Butterfly as part of the French CDS. It was a great movie, I remembered seeing the title on the newspaper. A pity I never went to watch it.

It's rated favourably by critics which is a really big step for any movie, and it had won acclaimed awards in 2007.

Taking French CDS is probably one of the rare times I didn't make a wrong choice. Maybe it's CDS, so it's not that stressful. Maybe it's because I always wanted to study a foreign language, so the appeal is already there.

Regardless of what, my aim is to get an A and have fun at the same time.
I'm going to know the results next week, I think.

I'll start to study for exams next week, which is tomorrow. Really, I swear. Even if it's only a couple of chapters of a subject. I'll also not leave marketing revision till the last minute. I'm going to at least get an B for it.

Marketing, what a killer.
