My book club read this for our Christmas get together and 90% of the group felt exactly the way you do. Almost all of us were on the fence and mostly felt our lives would have been just fine had we not read it. I always have a hard time reading books by "celebrities", you just never know how sincere they really are being. And with Glen Beck...well, the only reason I have to believe he's an okay guy is that someone in my book club is his neighbor when they are living in Salt Lake and said he's a pretty genuine guy. Who knows? This is actually pretty funny to me. My book club read this for our Christmas get together and 90% of the group felt exactly the way you do.

I was curious about it but hate tear jerker stories. Now that I know the "spoiler" I don't have to read it. That's a good thing by the way. You didn't burst any bubbles. :) Thank you for saving me from having to read the book. I was curious about it but hate tear jerker stories. Now that I know the “spoiler” I don’t have to read it.

I would never give that man a cent of my money or a count of withdrawals from a library! If my book club wanted to read this…I would have quit the book club at that moment!

This is how I feel when I read Nicholas Sparks. I always feel a tad bit slimy when I read something that is obviously trying to manipulate me! This is how I feel when I read Nicholas Sparks.
