Nicholas Sparks fans are marking their book wish lists with
a big red star to
remind themselves that his latest book THE LUCKY ONE is now
available.
As usual Sparks' book is set in North Carolina, but it's a
story that has its
beginning in war torn Iraq. Logan Thibault was serving his
first tour
of duty when he found a picture on the ground. He posted it
on a bulletin
board hoping that whoever the picture belonged to would
claim it. When
several days went by he decided the picture was going to be
unclaimed, and
for some reason stuck it in his pocket.
He kept that picture with him throughout three tours of
duty, and even
carried it while he attempted to resume his life in
Colorado. He decided that
it was destiny for him to meet the young woman in the
picture, and set out to
find her.
Logan's story is one of determination and perhaps truly
destiny. How he
finds the young woman in the story is as much a part of the
story as what
happens once Logan and Elizabeth, better known as Beth
finally meet.
As I read THE LUCKY ONE I found myself hoping that not only
did Logan find
what he was looking for, but that Beth, her son Ben, and her
Nana, who raised
her when her parents were tragically would also find
contentment.
Nicholas Sparks is known for putting a lot of emotion in his
stories, and THE LUCKY ONE is no exception, and as the
climax of the book begins readers are
likely to find themselves on the edge of their seats, and
surely unable to set
the book aside. I have to admit to being somewhat able to
predict the
outcome of the book, but was a tad surprised when I wasn't
quite right.
I believe that Nicholas Sparks fans will truly enjoy his
latest effort, and that
those who are new to his books and style will be the lucky ones.
In his 14th book, bestselling author Nicholas Sparks tells
the unforgettable story of a man whose brushes with death
lead him to the love of his life.
Is there really
such thing as a lucky charm? The hero of Nicholas Sparks's
new novel believes he's found one in the form of a
photograph of a smiling woman he's never met, but who he
comes to believe holds the key to his destiny. The chain of
events that leads to him possessing the photograph and
finding the woman pictured in it is the stuff of love
stories only a master such as Sparks can write.
