Ok...So, I speed read this novel in prep of watching the movie in a theater. Luckily,Sparks novels only take about two-three days to read. Of course, both days w/ordering Chinese food for dinner and skipping breakfast and lunch. (aside from NS's talent, his fast yet satisfying read is what I love about his books most.)
Filled with all of Sparks' famous and trademark storytelling style. Great characters, backdrop, lovely combination and chemistry.
I hated hated hated the ending though. I really, for the sake of fulfilling my own selfish fantasies, wanted a sappy cornball romantic mushy gushy happily ever after. But, I balled my eyes out and felt so very sad. Still loved it.

Then, I saw the movie.
Book was way better than the movie. I kinda think that they miscast the actor/actresses. Gere and Lane just didn't do it for me, as for the cheesy back flash editing and cinematography (Yes, as a movie critique, I'm a million times meaner) that stuff totally took away from the story line, 10 fold.

All in all, read the book. Forget the movie.
