Letter to the Author

Nicholas Sparks,

I have just finished reading your book, A Walk to Remember and I really enjoyed reading it. The whole book was very dicriptive and every page came with a new picture in my mind. Also it was full of cliff hangers. At the end of chapter 11 the very last line was " 'I'm dying, Landon.' " It was impossible to put down after that. Although the ending wasn't exactly your fary tail ending you would expect, it was subsatntial and did not leave me wishing for a better conclusion. One of my favorite examples of diction is on page 217 "The sun continued to lower itself, casting its glow as far as the eye could see, before finally, slowly, vanishing beneath the waves. The moon continued its slow drift upward, shimmering as it turned a thousand shades of yellow, each paler than the last, before finally becoming the color of the stars" (Sparks 217). To me this image is vividly painted and even better this kind of diction is throughout the whole book. The only thing I disliked is how sappy this book is. I know I should expect that, it is a romance novel. However I felt like some of it could have been left out. Over all this book was amazing, I will defiantly read another book by you. Thank you for all of your great book!
