Same story different title.

Having enjoyed several Nicolas Sparks books and being from NC, I took this book to the Outer Banks with me for my beach read. I was very disappointed and never finished it because it was predicable and boring. I was shocked when they made a movie out of it, which I never saw. I expect more from even my beach reads.

I read and enjoyed the book - quick summer read! But I have to say the movie scene where Gere is driving to the Inn in, with the sand blowing in the wind -- when he makes the turn into the property and the camera shows the property -- breathtaking!

Never actually completely read the book, however, I've seen the film. Will get to the book someday!

The book was GREAT! I didn't like what was done with the movie.

Didn't want to read it but boy was I glad I did. I really really enjoyed it. I will listen to my grandma more often now about other book suggestions. : )

All his books are great. This is no exception.

Ah, I LOVE this book!! If you are looking for a book that will give you a "warm fuzzy" feeling, look no further! The descriptions in this book make you feel like you are at the inn with the two main characters. A fast and easy read, and will appeal to many age groups.

I enjoy all of Nicholas Sparks books. I do have my favorites, but his books are a must read for me!

I love Nicholas Sparks! This story line took a little longer to get me hooked on, but in the end, totally worth the read!!

I saw the movie first and just finished the book which I loved. Will have to see the movie again to see the differences.

I've never read it and would love to ready it I like Nicholas sparks .

I loved this book. I recommend reading this book before you see the movie....they change some things for dramatic effect in the film.

I love this book! Nicholas sparks is by far my favorite author

Fantastic Book! I loved it. The story was great and should definitely be read before watching the movie.
