Dear John Review



I recently read Dear John by Nicholas Sparks.


Dear John tells of a man named John Tyree.On a leave of absence from the army,he decided to visit his dad in North Carolina.His father didn't say much,so he decided to go to the beach to surf.When he was finished he saw two very pretty girls with two guys on the pier.One of the guys dropped a purse in the water.So,John decided to dive for it.That's when Savannah and John fell in love.He later learned that she wanted to help autistic children.Then,he had to go back to to the army after his leave.Even though they were sending letter's,they still were somewhat distant.
When he came back on another leave,they got to see each other,they fought a lot.When he went back to Germany,two very emotional things happened to him.First,he got an earth shattering letter from Savannah.She told him that she was in love with someone else.(Which he later learned was their mutual friend,Tim.)Then,his dad died.He needed someone to talk to.So,he visited Savannah.He discovered Tim,her husband,had skin cancer.So,he sold his father's coin collection to put towards his funds.

This book was very interesting.I felt the emotional pain each character felt.This is defiantly not a feel good book.It is very sad indeed.
