Summary: Bad Dialogue, Bad Manners, Bad Book
Comment: This is the sort of travel book that makes people cringe when they see Americans show up in their country. Two ill-behaved, grown men on tour around the world. Desecrating tombs of revered ancestors by laying in them, not once, but twice. Ugh, I am glad I don't travel with these buffoons. I am not familiar with Mr. Sparks work as a novelist, but believe me this book does not encourage me to pick one up as I found his writing filled with unbelieveably boring and dull material. The majority of this book is filled with Mr. Sparks conern that his brother has lost his christianity, and his need to make his brother see the light that living without god is not worth living. Really the book belongs in the religion section not the travel section. Not a real good theme for an entire travel book let alone a chapter. The family history was the most interesting but it was a tad too dramatic and well Sparks seemed to know what other family members were doing at each turn to be considered a memoir. Just bad writing about the stereotypical traveling Americans to be avoided.

Summary: Great Read
Comment: I was not familiar with Nicholas Sparks' work when I saw this book at a local store. But after reading the inside flap, I thought it would be worth checking out. I was interested in hearing more about his relationship with his brother. This is truly one of the best books I have ever read. He has a wonderful style that is easy and quick to read. He is very honest and shows who he really is and where he has come from. I think this book has wide appeal because, even though he grew up very poor, his adventures/experiences are very similar to those of average Americans. It's very relatable. I have laughed and cried while reading this book and I would strongly recommend it to anyone who has siblings. My relationship with my brother is sacred to me. Mr. Sparks has a way of showing just how profound sibling relationships can be. I am thoroughly impressed by this book and plan to check out his other works.
I just think this book is real and I can relate so well to the stories he tells about his family and growing up the way he did. This book was not meant to be a travel book, though it covers travel. This book was not meant to be a religious book, though religion is important to Mr. Sparks. I think this book was meant to honor his family and show the love that Sparks has for his wife, children, mother, father, sister, and brother. It is heart warming and very hard to put down. Mr. Sparks is able to use words to describe feelings, thoughts, and emotions that most of us couldn't begin to describe. I highly recommend this book and will definitely purchase a copy for my brother.

Summary: Really Enjoyable
Comment: I really enjoyed this latest Sparks book. Interesting perspective on how families deal with grief and how those left behind pull closer to each other. I have experienced this myself. Although co-authored by Micah Sparks, the entire book seems to be written from Nicholas Sparks point of view. I'm not sure which parts (if any) were written by Micah. The travel log sections were interesting, but more so are the reflective telling of their childhood stories. The stories and people are truly genuine and human with absolutely no pretenses. I mostly think of Sparks as a chick-writer, but now I am interested in reading more.
