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.
My dad always said that when you're struggling with something, look at all the people around you and realize that every single person you see is struggling with something, and to them, it's just as hard as what you're going through. (查看原文)
The saddest people I've ever met in life are the ones who don't care deeply about anything at all.
Passion and satisfaction go hand in hand, and without them, any happiness is only temporary, because there is nothing to make it last. (查看原文)

I AM SAM? Anyway, another great father though not like the one in the last song. The writer is good at writing affection betwween families, which is touching. However, I'm not so thrilled with the heroine, who, I think to some extent is selfish. And when th...

After I read The Lucky One and some other novels written by Nicholas Sparks including The Guardian and At the First Sight, I found that maybe the books he wrote all had happy endings, and sometimes it seemed that they were too good to be true. However, when...

以前看电影时总不明白为什么女主角这么爱男主角,竟然会嫁给别人。看了小说心里描写才明白,分离了那么久,多一分钟都难以煎熬,而他仍是不回来,再等下去就近乎无法承受的痛苦。嫁给他人,等于找到一个可以分担自己痛苦,又转移了自己注意力的人。竟无法责怪她,因为这就是生活。

这是一个可以跟小仲马的《茶花女》媲美的爱情小说。茶花女因为深爱而放弃爱的权利,哪怕自己被怨恨都在所不惜。而“Dear John”中两个爱着Savanna的男人却都像茶花女一样甘于奉献,只为Savanna的福祉着想。 Tim因为深爱Savanna,选择埋藏自己的爱,成全John和Savanna。在Savanna最终跟Tim走到一起之后,John献出自己全部的财产,隐藏自己,只为保护她对Tim的那份爱... 这是一个可以跟小仲马的《茶花女》媲美的爱情小说。茶花女因为深爱而放弃爱的权利,哪怕自己被怨恨都在所不惜。而“Dear John”中两个爱着Savanna的男人却都像茶花女一样甘于奉献,只为Savanna的福祉着想。 Tim因为深爱Savanna,选择埋藏自己的爱,成全John和Savanna。在Savanna最终跟Tim走到一起之后,John献出自己全部的财产,隐藏自己,只为保护她对Tim的那份爱。 (展开)
