In this New York Times bestseller, a single mother sets out to find the North Carolina man who sent a message meant for someone else . . . and the journey may change her life forever.

Divorced and disillusioned about relationships, Theresa Osborne is jogging when she finds a bottle on the beach. Inside is a letter of love and longing to "Catherine," signed simply "Garrett." Challenged by the mystery and pulled by emotions she doesn't fully understand, Theresa begins a search for this man that will change her life. What happens to her is unexpected, perhaps miraculous-an encounter that embraces all our hopes for finding someone special, for having a love that is timeless and everlasting.... Nicholas Sparks exquisitely chronicles the human heart. In his first bestselling novel, The Notebook, he created a testament to romantic love that touched readers around the world. Now in this New York Times bestseller, he renews our faith in destiny, in the ability of lovers to find each other no matter where, no matter when...

Title: VERY HEART-FEALT AND ENJOYABLE NOVEL
Review: MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE, for me, is one of The most 'spiritual' and romantic novels of Nicholas Sparks that I have thus far read. The conception of multiple bottles being found, essentially with the same note... that in itself should lead anyone on a trek to attempt to discover the Why's, Wherefores, as well as the WHO ! Very enjoyable book ! I would recommend this book to Anybody! MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE IS A MUST READ ! IT IS A TERRIFIC READ ! ! Very Highly Recommended ! !

Review: This story was so touching. I have to say i wasnt one for romance or love stories, A walk to remember is the only one ive loved. But this was a really great read. Was not a fan of Theresa almost the entire time, throughout this story. & by the end of it i was in tearsss trying to finish reading. Truly an unexpected endingIve never felt so much during a read, i could not put this book down.

Title: Everyone would have been happier if Theresa didn't find the bottle...
Review: This is my third Nicholas Sparks book and I didn't enjoy it as much as the first two. I thought Theresa often came across as manipulative and selfish. She had redeeming qualities, but I was annoyed with her more often than not. I found her friend, Deanna, to be much more likable.I was frustrated that neither of them really thought it through before Theresa met Garrett. Although this type of short-sighted, selfish behavior was typical for Theresa, Deanna usually had better judgment. The bottle Garrett tossed into the ocean could have come from anywhere, so the likelihood that he lived nearby was very slim. Yet neither of them thought past the initial meeting. What if there was great chemistry, and, in the best-case scenario, they fell madly in love. What then? Would she be willing to relocate to be with him? If not, there seemed no point in meeting him at all. It certainly didn't seem fair going in to expect him to relocate. She also never thought about his perspective in all this, and how inserting herself into his life may complicate things for him.Overall, it wasn't a terrrible book, and I still plan to read more by Nicholas Sparks.*** SPOILER ALERT *** SPOILER ALERT *** SPOILER ALERT *** SPOILER ALERT *** SPOILER ALERT ***Don't read any further if you don't want to know details of the book.A lot of my annoyance with Theresa was how she manipulated her way into Garrett's life because she thought he was so wonderful, and then tried to change him. She chided him at one point to be more "manly", when what drew her to him was his sensitivity. She knew early on that his life revolved around the ocean, that he lived near his aging father, and that he had never left his home state. Yet she seemed to be trying to sell him on the idea of moving to Boston - to give up everything in his life to be near her. She knew going in that he was still mourning Catherine, yet she forged ahead with a relationship, ignoring the big red flag that he continued to keep Catherine's picture by his bed as the months went by.I could understand why she didn't tell him about the letters earlier, and when she finally did come clean, my view of her softened. Until she told him that everything that had happened after their initial meeting was natural and not planned, leaving out the part about how she had purposely left her jacket on the boat to manipulate him into another meeting. When she skipped that part, I went back to not liking her very much.The twist at the end really caught me off guard. I never expected Garrett to die. Even though Theresa was clearly hurting, I couldn't muster any sympathy for her. I just kept thinking how she had ruined Garrett's life and that he was definitely not better off for having met her. If not for her, he would have gotten over Catherine in his own time, with his father's gentle encouragement. Maybe later he would have met a nice local woman and lived happily ever after. Instead, he took unnecessary risks to say good-bye to Catherine in order to get back in Theresa's good graces. And, on that topic, I found it hard to believe that such an experienced sailor would turn off his radio when a storm was approaching, and that he would not have put on his life vest much sooner.Of course, another victim of Theresa's selfishness was Jeb. At 70 years of age, he lost his only child and was left alone in the world. At least Theresa still had Kevin.

Review: Dopo aver letto la versione italiana, ho deciso di leggere anche questo e diusarlo come regalo per una lettura in inglese che possa essere veramente di primo approccio. Intendiamoci il libro non e' facilissimo, ma il modo di scrivere dell'autore lo rende scorrevole e questo aiuta specie quendo si vuole approdare alla lettura in lingua inglese, Un ottimo regalo per questo motivo e perche si tratta di una storia davvero emozionante 🙂 Consiglio il libro a tutti gli appassionati di lettura e a chi voglia evitare di iniziare con le lettura dei bambini per migliorare il proprio inglese.

Review: How can the written work make you cry ? The story was so lovely to read and the feelings of discovery and love shone through the pages but - oh such a sad end that my tears were falling. How can the author find the compassion and understanding of losing someone and yet make it such an inspiration to long for such feelings for yourself. I am in awe of such a writer.
