Dear John by Nicholas Sparks
My Rating: 0 stars
Dear John,
Please don’t write back.

Hahaha. That is right, zero stars. Dear John was probably one of the worst books I have ever picked up. No joke. I couldn’t even make it to chapter three. I know what you might be thinking; that I’m not giving the book a chance and blah, blah, blah. But too bad. I started to read this book unsure if I would even like it at all, actually I was kind of certain I wouldn’t love it. I can’t stand cliché and predictable stories like this one. They bother me immensely. I mean, c’mon, be original! It’s not that hard!
But anyway, the beginning of Dear John was SO boring. I swear I was forcing myself to read the first chapter. Not one thing made me want to keep reading. So, I stopped reading. I didn’t even finish the book. Yes, that bothers me that I didn’t finish it, but I am not going to force and torture myself to try to read it.
Tell me what you think! Did you like Dear John? Hate it? Is the movie any good? Leave your comments.
(Oh, and I won’t be reading any other Nicholas Sparks books!)

Agreed! I wanted to read The Notebook. But now after I have attempted to read Dear John, I’m not even going to waste my time.

I have a few friends who are ADDICTED to Nicholas Sparks books (especially this one), but I was never interested in reading them. I’m glad someone finally agrees with me! 🙂

Thankyooou! Someone who FINALLY agrees with me. Some people think I’m crazy for not liking these books.

The Notebook is not the best book I’ve ever read, but it’s a hell of a lot shorter, and the endin did make me cry. Dear John is shit though.
