In the prologue to his latest novel, Nicholas Sparks makes the
rather presumptuous pledge "first you will smile, and then you will
cry," but sure enough, he delivers the goods. With his calculated
ability to throw your heart around like a yo-yo (try out his
earlier Message in the Bottle or The Notebook if you really want to
stick it to yourself), Sparks pulls us back to the perfect
innocence of a first love.
In 1958 Landon Carter is a shallow but well-meaning teenager who
spends most of his time hanging out with his friends and trying
hard to ignore the impending responsibilities of adulthood. Then
Landon gets roped into acting the lead in the Christmas play
opposite the most renowned goody two-shoes in town: Jamie Sullivan.
Against his best intentions and the taunts of his buddies, Landon
finds himself falling for Jamie and learning some central lessons
in life.
Like John Irving's A Prayer for Owen Meany, Sparks maintains a
delicate and rarely seen balance of humor and sentiment. While the
plot may not be the most original, this boy-makes-good tearjerker
will certainly reel in the fans. Look for a movie starring
beautiful people or, better yet, snuggle under the covers with your
tissues nearby and let your inner sap run wild. --Nancy R.E.
