Words cannot express my immense hatred for Nicholas Sparks, and The Wedding is a shining example. I tried to get through the book, but it was way too disgustingly sappy and cliche, and the “surprise” was vomit inducing.

Rachael, you’re probably never going to see this but I would just like to point out that Pride & Prejudice is NOT a romance book. Anyone considering it to be one did not actually read it. They probably watched the movie and only paid attention to the interpretation of Mr. Darcy which makes him out to be less of an asshole in the beginning with his longing glances and puppy dog eyes.

Jodi, I agree with the things you don’t like about Nicholas Sparks’ novel. Like the treacle dialogue, how predictable and trite it is, etc. But being a writer I thought you would be able to find a better way to describe it than “shitty, shitty writing” multiple times in your review. I know irony is a word thrown around way too much but I feel it might be appropriate for your review.

So i just finished reading Dear John and I read the notebook a couple years ago. I hate nicholas sparks. this books suck so bad i was completely bored the whole time during BOTH thos books. I just recently bought The Last Song and havent started it yet but i have decided after finishing Dear John that i’m going to take the last song back.
i loved the movies based on these books but then that makes sense cus they arent even close to being like the books. fortunately the directors have understood how boring his books are and have decided to add more interesting stuff to them. LOL. take that nicholas sparks you suck!
anyone wanna read a REAL romance book go read pride &prejudice. it’s waaaay better.

No. Instead go read something good. Try Dan Chaon or Ethan Canin or Mary Gaitskill or Amy Bloom.

You are so right about Nicholas Sparks. Worst writer EVER! Years ago I read “The Notebook”. I’m still pissed that I wasted my time and money on that dribble. He is successful because they knew how to market his crap. I haven’t given him another chance. Should I?
