Caballero va a un pueblo, en este curiosamente hay mujeres de las cuales una se enamora del Señor periodista que va a investigar supuestos sucesos luminosos en un lugar tan sorprendente como es un cementerio. Una cosa lleva a la otra, reacción en cadena… Calentón, ¡pim pam! ¡Fuera!
Hay que me voy, que no te vayas, que si me voy, que te quiero, que yo también… bla bla bla. Somos imbéciles, el amor lo puede todo. Eres el hombre de mi vida. Vos la mujer de mi vida. Llora, lloro, llora, lloro, loro… FIN.

Novela donde la originalidad y la creatividad es tan grande como el entretenimiento que me ha ofrecido.

Horrible. I had to force myself to finish it. I feel like reading this book robbed me of time I will never get back. I loved The Notebook, but absolutely hated this story.

Dicen que normalmente se conoce a los escritores por una obra: que una única novela es lo que les da la fama. Dicen, no sé si será cierto o no, y mucho menos en el caso de este escritor; aunque te vendan sus novelas como el autor que escribió El cuaderno de Noah. Con esto no quiero decir que ésta novela sea mala, ni mucho menos, es más, me ha gustado bastante, sin embargo, y después de leer Querido John, de este mismo autor, esperaba algo más.
De todas maneras, es una muy buena novela.

Ah, Nicholas Sparks sure knows how to cook up a love a story! Although I don't think this is as good as the other Sparks books I read so far (Dear John, A Walk To Remember, and At First Sight), I still think it is pretty decent.

Jeremy Marsh is a big-city sceptic who writes for a scientific magazine, uncovering the truth behind psychics, ghosts, and legends. He is sent from New York City to the isolated small town known as Boone Creek to uncover the mystery of strange ghost lights that appear in the local cemetary on foggy nights. There he falls in love with the resident librarian, Lexie. Lexie is sassy and strong-willed, and cares about her town more than almost anything. When she falls in love with Jeremy she becomes closed off because he knows that after he writes his story he will leave back to NYC.

This whirl-wind romance is pretty realistic and I love the charater of Doris, which is Lexie's kind-hearted grandmother. Any fan of Mr. Sparks will enjoy this book. However, I enjoy the sequal (At First Sight) a little better.

This was my first Sparks' book and I really liked it. I'm so glad I finally read one of his books.

I must admit that the firs half of the book was really slow, I was wondering the whole time why was I reading it. That's the reason why I'm giving just 3 stars, and I almost gave 4, because then things got really good between the two characters and the ending was great.

An important fact is that this book does have a HEA! I must clarify this because Spark is known for his tragic endings, but this is not the case in this book.

I will be definitely buying another of his books soon.

Picked this up at a consignment shop. I was familiar with some of Sparks' other books which have been adapted into films, but had never read anything by him.

This was okay. Sparks has a talent for creating interesting and substantial characters (at least when they're not being annoyingly silly), and the writing is fine.

The story here isn't bad, either...or at least not all bad. Unfortunately, certain elements border on sappy-you-got-to-be-kidding-me. ***News Flash*** Intelligent women don't find guys who profess their love after 2 days and a roll in the hay as romantic or attractive. To the contrary, we think it's a little creepy. It doesn't make our hearts pitter-patter or our cheeks flush red.

If only he had stretched the relationship out, I think it might have been more believable and more satisfying.

Overall, an easy read with some redeeming qualities but that also panders to cliches and stereotypes. That said, I purchased the second book in the series at the same consignment shop, and I'll read it at some point. I'd also read something else by this author when I'm in the mood for sappy and predictable.

I didn't necessarily like this book too much but finishing it was part of healing my inner child, and it wasn't too bad, plus I thought the end was sweet.

Solid 3.5 stars

In the end it did what I want in Nicholas Sparks books and that's to make me smile.
I started this book twice before and I could only ever continue beyond the first couple chapters (this was my third time and my last try to get into it). The first 100 pages were really hard for me to get into because it deals with a lot of science elements that I'm personally not a fan of. When Jeremy meets Lexie it starts to pick up and (like most Nicholas Sparks books) it became really addicting. About 300 pages in it started to slow back down for me.
I will say this is probably my least favorite novel of his because it was very science based and it took me so long to get into it.
But all in all the ending made me smile and that's what I bargained for when I picked it up.

I have been a fan of Nicholas Sparks books for years. That being said, I had to give this book 3 stars for one reason only. I actually did like the book, I thought it was a great story, it was well-written as always, and it kept me wanting to see what was going to happen next. A little predictable at times, but you have to expect that from a writer whose style you have memorized. He really illustrates the settings, and pulls you into the romance of it all; tears were shed on the pages! However, I found that this story followed the lines of the movie "Doc Hollywood" all too much. Throughout the book, this became more and more obvious. If you've never seen the movie, then it won't matter to you! But if you have, I assure you will be making the same comparisons I did. I later went to find other reviews of this book and found the same thing from other readers.

If you want a good southern, small-town romance read, you won't be let down with this book. All in all, I liked it a lot.

I’ve read many Nicholas sparks books and this one was not one of my favorites. Don’t get me wrong, it was still enjoyable and had some really great moments and plot points, but overall I was a little bored and the ending was rushed to me.

I had mistakenly read the second part of this story first so as such it was fun as well a little bit strange to know how the stuff is going to pan out and also there was a wait for the events mentioned in the second part. It was nice overall.

People who don't read generally ask me my reasons for reading. Simply put I just love reading and so to that end I have made it my motto to just Keep on Reading. I love to read everything except for Self Help books but even those once in a while. I read almost all the genre but YA, Fantasy, Biographies are the most. My favorite series is, of course, Harry Potter but then there are many more books that I just adore. I have bookcases filled with books which are waiting to be read so can't stay and spend more time in this review, so remember I loved reading this and love reading more, you should also read what you love and then just Keep on Reading.
