Dear John by Nicolas Sparks pgs. 250 – 276

Dear John, by Nicholas Sparks disappointed me, but in a good way. The previews for this movie make the book seem like it will have a different ending than you would expect. By watching the previews, I thought that John would get hurt while at war or killed in battle but the book proved that theory wrong. I was very surprised by the turn of the events in the book.

I was shocked to find out that Savannah fell in love with another man while John was gone. It made me sad that she had moved on and I didn’t want to finish reading the book but I did and I actually enjoyed the ending. When John realizes that the man that Savannah fell in love with is dying of cancer he can’t help but do everything he can to make her feel better. He does the most selfless thing ever and gives up the hopes of him and Savannah ever being together and gives all his money to Savannah so Tim can get better treatment. John sacrifices his feelings to make the one he loves to be happy even if it’s with another man. I could never imagine anyone doing that and this book makes you feel that good people are out in the world and they might not always be who you think they are. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes surprise endings or a good love story. John sacrifices his feelings to make the one he loves to be happy even if it’s with another man.
