Message+in+a+Bottle+-+Review

I began reading //Message in a Bottle// with no preconceived notions. This was different from two of the books that I’ve read for my author study in that they were made into movies that I had seen before and were award winners, making my expectations for them pretty high. The other book that I read that I had no expectations for was a little disappointing, so I was hoping that this one wouldn’t disappoint. In fact, I found that this was my favorite book from the author study project. The story was fantastic and the ending completely caught me off guard. The characters seemed very real, and they were all deep and well developed.

If I were to rate this book on a scale of 1 to 10, I would give it a 10. It sucked me in from the first couple pages with the mystery of the bottles, and kept me reading until the very last page to know what would happen to Garret and Theresa. There were no places in the middle where the story lagged, or where I thought that there were unnecessary parts for the story line. Each event that happened was interesting and relevant, and every explanation or description simply enhanced the story.

I think that anyone who likes romance novels would really enjoy this book. It is unlike any other book of its kind that I have read before, and I think that the ending is enough to keep the reader captivated the entire way through the novel, as it did for me. Any fans of Nicholas Sparks especially should read this because I think that it might be his best novel yet.
