Review The best of me - Nicholas Sparks
Synopsis:
In the spring of 1984, high school students Amanda Collier and Dawson Cole fell deeply, irrevocably in love. Though they were from opposite sides of the tracks, their love for one another seemed to defy the realities of life in the small town of Oriental, North Carolina. But as the summer of their senior year came to a close, unforeseen events would tear the young couple apart, setting them on radically divergent paths.
Now, twenty-five years later, Amanda and Dawson are summoned back to Oriental for the funeral of Tuck Hostetler, the mentor who once gave shelter to their high school romance. Neither has lived the life they imagined . . . and neither can forget the passionate first love that forever changed their lives. As Amanda and Dawson carry out the instructions Tuck left behind for them, they realize that everything they thought they knew—about Tuck, about themselves, and about the dreams they held dear—was not as it seemed. Forced to confront painful memories, the two former lovers will discover undeniable truths about the choices they have made. And in the course of a single, searing weekend, they will ask of the living, and the dead: Can love truly rewrite the past?
Personal opinion:At the beginning I wasn't excited about reading this book because it deals with love and tragedy (like a Shakespeare novel) but at the end it turned out that it was interesting and made me feel I couldn't put the book down.
The author writes very well. He makes you feel what is happening and let you know the characters deeply; of course you don't get bored because he alternates the Dawson's and Amanda's story so you can learn things from both and then put the pieces together.
I was surprised with the end, due to the fact that I thought it was going to be happy (like the things never happen in real life) but it wasn't so it rose the mark. I think everybody should read one of his books once a year, because it returns you the youth, make you feel better (like you can have dreams) and gives us a reflection about how's unfair in life.
Conclusion:
A very Good love story, with real facts and a charming characters. I totally recomend it :)
Mark:
9/10
