This company (Imandracchia) did not send the book I ordered and failed to answer any of my e-mails, even the one requesting a refund. This is my first and last time I’ll purchase from Amazon.com.

I was replacing a lost library book and needed a book with a specific ISBN number. I contacted the seller, told him my situation and he confirmed that the book he would be mailing me was a match. His accuracy enabled me to replace the book for less than half of what the library was going to charge me. His prompt and accurate response was extremely helpful and served to increase my level of trust in Amazon products.

I could not wait to read “The Lucky One”. I bought it as soon as it was released. The premise of the book was an interesting idea, but the book fell flat except for the last 8 pages. I kept thinking I was missing something, but my sister read it with the same exact sentiment. My favorites are still “A Walk to Remember” “The Rescue” and “The Notebook”. Not one book he has written since has come close. This book was plain boring and seemed rushed and amateurish in the writing. Nicholas Sparks has talent just not in this not so Lucky One!

As always, Nicholas Sparks has written another novel that is very difficult to put down. I look forward to his next.

Reading Sparks can be a treat, or for some odd reason, you find crap in the clues, making it simply ok. And coming off of reading some great stuff by the master of trash talk and heart throb, I was looking for another great read. But this time I didn’t get that. I only got ok, but it wasn’t too bad either.
We begin by joining a creepy Deputy, and his name is Keith Clayton. And before questioning some nude skinny-dipping women, he takes a few pictures to satisfy his lust. But then we meet another man named Logan Thibault, and his German Shepherd, Zeus. And Logan is on a walk. Quite a long walk, from several states, with a picture in his pocket. We learn that Thibault is a former Marine, and he’s here to find a lady named Elizabeth. And when he finds her, he takes a job with her in her and Nana’s dog kennel.
Thibault soon becomes a part of Elizabeth’s life, and takes a liking to her son, Ben, despite losing in chess to him most of the time. The big problem is Ben’s dad, Keith Clayton. And he’s out for blood as to why Thibault made his way here, and why is Elizabeth so interested in this man.
When all was said and done, (yep, right before the Epilogue) I thought it all came to a sloppy crash-landing. And a maze of mixed emotions is the end result for the most part, with a rather forced ending. I’ve seen better from Sparks, but I’ve also seen worse from much better authors. I say if you can seperate the crap from some of the shady clues, then you’ll enjoy this completely. And if that ends up being the case for other readers, LUCKY THEM! I still can’t wait for other great reads that Sparks has to offer.
