I enjoy reading how Sparks filled this book with suspence it feels like you cannot put the book down, because you cannot wait for the upcoming chapters. Also is filled with love, passion and romance this book makes me think everyone has a soulmate but is up to us to find it. To take the iniciative and start searching for our own happiness. One more thing that I enjoy was the end, the end is unexpected!! Unexpected in the sense that every single character has a part in the twisted end. This book has been made into a motion picture and is coming out in the upcoming weeks. Finally all I have to say is that I cannot wait for the movie and go see it and hope is as great as the book.
