Nicholas Sparks is a master at bringing characters to life and allowing the reader to intensely feel the emotions brought forth by the words that he has penned–He will always be one of my favorite authors
This is not a fast moving story, but I did enjoy it. In my opinion Nicholas Sparks did a good job of describing two worlds. Tru from Africa and Hope from North Carolina. I felt Nicholas Sparks did a good job of bringing me into Africa, I could also feel Tru’s love for Africa. I never doubt Nicholas Sparks ability to bring you into the world of North Carolina. For me this was not the tear jerker that many of Nicholas Sparks books. In one review I read the reader became annoyed with Hope and her being selfish. In my opinion yes Hope was selfish, but she knew what she wanted, I found this admirable. She did not compromise what she wanted, when I find most people do compromise what they want. Even with all she got she still missed out on other things. I found myself sad for her. Overall I liked Every Breath. I read Every Breath through the library.
Loved it couldn’t put it down
Nicholas Sparks does it again! I’ve been a fan since I read “The Notebook.” The characters are so real that you will wish you could go to kindred spirit and see Hope and Tru. I loved the book!
This is one is right up there with the wedding. Nicholas sparks is such a great writer.
Great read…plus I was able to visit the mailbox in NC which is a big part of this story. Sparks researched a real story and embellished it. Quick read…loved it!
Liked the storyline and would love to visit the mailbox!
I never met a Nicholas Sparks book I didn’t love. He is top shelf and he never disappoints.
I love every book written by Nicholas Sparks! I always look forward to reading his latest, and somehow, I missed this book along the way. He makes me want to visit the Carolina beaches he writes about…. just a great storyteller! I just can’t put them down once I start reading ….
Well I love Nicholas sparks as an author and I’ve read all of his books! I just enjoy his writing style
I love all of his books…..great entertainment!
Better than the last one but not as good as some of his others
Nicholas Sparks has done it again! A real page turner, this one!
read it in 24 hours
I struggled with the book some because I went into it expecting something else, but that was my own doing. I kept putting this book down to reflect, but it was definitely a quick read and I finished it in just a few short sittings. The writing is, of course, fantastic, and the story line had some originality while still keeping with the “Nicholas Sparks” genre. (Because he deserves his own book category.) I just did not love Hope and Tru like I wanted to, and I felt their ultimate love story had so much more potential that what was given. Overall, the book was great just not spectacular, like I was hoping.
Love the way he writes, makes you feel what the characters feel
What a wonderful book…happy then sad then frustrating then happy. Emotional for sure. I loved it. Mr. Sparks knows how to write.
Every Breathe is an absolute tearjerker. This book is nothing short of amazing and I physically could not put it down. One long night and a box of tissues, I have uncovered my new favorite book. I cannot recommend it enough, Nicholas Sparks has truly outdone himself with this literary work of art. It is both beautiful and genius.
A gret book!!!
This was the best book I read all year long – outstanding I’d give it ***** plus an extra *
