Summary:
Logan Thibault is a former Marine freshly
returned from a tour in Iraq. Logan
discovered a lost photograph of a smiling young woman half-buried in the dirt
at a fair in North Carolina. When no one
claims the photo, he decides to keep it. Soon
after this discovery, Logan begins to experience a streak of extremely good
luck. Winning poker games and even
surviving deadly combat that kills two of his closest buddies. Only his best friend, Victor, seems to have
an explanation for his good fortune. The photograph is his lucky charm. Back home in Colorado, Logan can’t seem to
get the photo and the woman in it out of his mind. Believing that she somehow holds the key to
his destiny, he sets out on a journey across the country to find her. From the
few clues the picture provides, he makes his way, with his German Shepherd,
Zeus, to Hampton, North Carolina. After questioning the locals, he learns that
his lucky charm is Elizabeth Green, a single mother and teacher living with her
grandmother.
Reflection:
As I reading this book, I thought about
true love, destiny and fate. I love reading stories about two people having a
chance meeting and just knowing from that moment that they were meant to be
together, no matter how much their relationship gets tested. Reminded me of the
story Cinderella. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it kept me guessing right up to the end.
The characters are charming and well-developed. It's a great book to read.
Author’s Intent:
We all knew Nicholas Sparks is, especially teenagers.
Speaking of author’s purpose, Nicholas Sparks wrote love story novels. All of
his novel is a romantic-drama. That’s why he’s known for the title “king of the
romantic-drama” I think Nicholas Sparks wants to inspire people in terms
of love. He knows how to at a reader’s heartstrings. I read some of his books
and watched the movie version of it. It made me laugh and cried. He knows how
to catch the reader’s attention. He has a beautiful natural way of portraying a
complicated and intense love story.
