This was a thought-provoking, tear jerk book, as I have found all of the Nicholas Sparks books.
But, after seeing "Time in a Bottle" and "A Walk to Remember", I will never go to another movie based on a Sparks book, they don't follow the story line - at all. (I did not - and will not - watch "The Notebook".)
Had I not already read this book, I would go see the movie based on the trailers I've seen. I'm sure the filming will be beautiful, most with the Outer Banks as the background.
AND Richard Gere - who needs talent when you've got that look? - that gogeous smile? - and now that he's gone gray?
