Bookworm Review: Sparks’ “Safe Haven” and “The Best of Me”

August 22, 2012

I love to read all kinds of books but mostly “girly fiction” (as I call it) and mystery novels. One of the reasons I decided to create this blog was so I could talk about and review the books I have read. So here goes my first review.

I recently read two Nicholas Sparks novels: Safe Haven and The Best of Me. I definitely preferred Safe Haven over the latter mainly because of the happier ending. I’m a sucker for happy endings.

Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks
Pages: 352

Safe Haven is a romantic novel about a woman and man coming together after heartbreaks, larger than most people have to deal with, and creating a beautiful love story. I was literally on the edge of my seat while reading this book and found myself cheering at the end. I definitely recommend this book to all women – after all, what woman doesn’t want to read a book that includes make-ups, break-ups, abuse, death, love, secret identities, and romanticism?

The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks
Pages: 292

First Line: For Dawson Cole, the hallucinations began after the explosion on the platform, on the day he should have died.

The Best of Me is a story about high school sweethearts breaking up over matters out of their control and reuniting years later when a mutual friend passes away. The book ends in tragedy, like several of Sparks’ other novels. This book is too sad for my taste. I don’t like crying throughout a story and feeling depressed when it ends. However, that is exactly how this book made me feel. 


What are your thoughts?

I will leave you with the wise words of Jane Austen: “The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.” 

Peace, Love and Books,
