Product Description:
When Savannah Lynn Curtis comes into his life, John Tyree knows he is ready to turn over a new leaf. An angry rebel, he had enlisted in the army after high school, not knowing what else to do. Then, during a furlough, he meets the girl of his dreams. Savannah Lynn Curtis is attending college in North Carolina, working for Habitat for Humanity, and totally unprepared for the passionate attraction she feels for John Tyree. The attraction is mutual and quickly grows into the kind of love that leaves Savannah vowing to wait for John while he finishes his tour of duty, and John realizing that he's ready to settle down with the young woman who has captured his heart. Neither can foresee that 9/11 is about to change the world and will force John to risk every hope and dream that he's ever had. Like so many proud men and women, John must choose between love and country. And like all those left behind, Savannah must decide to wait or move on. How do we choose wisely? How can we face loss-without giving up on love? Now, when he finally returns to North Carolina, John will discover that loving Savannah will force him to make the hardest decision of his life. An extraordinary, moving story, Dear John explores the complexities of love -- how it survives time and heartbreak, and how it transforms us forever.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this book!! It was so romantic and sweet, but realistic at the same time. I don't usually go for his books because they tend to be bland and a little far fetched. This one made me think for weeks after reading it, and I couldn't put it down until it was finished. Definitely a keeper and will be reading again!!

No doubt about it. Nicholas Sparks is a good storyteller. From the very first page, I want to be left alone to read undisturbed. The story moves along from scene to scene in a smooth fashion.
"What does it mean to truly love another?" The answer is found in this a love story about a man's life, but this is not an expected romance between a man and a woman. It's easy to see that Savannah and John are meant for each other; however, love goes beyond romance. The relationship between John and his father is also closely examined. The friendship of John and Tony, his army buddy, is believable.
The story takes place in North Carolina and spans several years, including the 9/11 attack. Autism and Asperger's conditions are written about with great care, giving me a bit of an education. The pain of old age and illness are included. The dialogue is well written; the characters are realistic.
Although there is the gratuitous sex scene, I liked this book. This book should be read!

This book was not up to Sparks' usual par. I read the rescue prior to this book and was much more moved by The Rescue.

This book gives you a look at real love. Whether you have it, had it and lost it, or never had it.... you will love this book. Its slight humour and major romance is great for anyone who loves to get lost in a great romance book. I have read it over and over.... still cry!!!

I met Nicholas Sparks with "the Notebook" movie. Then I started reading his books. Besides "the Notebook" and "the Message in a bottle", "Dear John" brought another point of view. I have never read a soldier as the hero and throughout the book, his being a soldier never scratched my mind. That is, the author could easily made me penetrate the hero's life. From this point of view, the book is easy to read. The story absorbs you. A beautiful love story, tragic and it could take me from my life and I can say that book was really a holiday for me.
