Safe Haven Nicholas Sparks
340 pages
“I've come to believe that in everyone's life, there's one undeniable moment of change, a set of circumstances that suddenly alters everything.”
After traveling from place to plate for several months, Katie Feldman has finally settled down in Southport, North Carolina, the classic small town where everyone knows everything about everybody. But Katie has a secret, something she has worked to keep hidden since she left Boston. Just when she thinks Southport is not the place for her, Katie meets Alex - a kind, widowed store owner with two young children. As Katie struggles with her private knowledge, and her feelings for Alex, she comes to discover that love is the only true safe haven.
This was my fourth read by Nicholas Sparks ( A Walk to Remember, The Notebook, The Last Song ), and out of all four, this is the only one threw which I did not cry. Sparks is known for his emotional endings, but in Safe Haven it was not such a punch in the face.
I found Safe Haven to be written in a very cinematic way, with limited extensions of plot and characters. The story flowed as a movie would, with rapid turns of events and little description. But maybe this is why many of his novels have been made into films so successfully. I should have expected this from a Sparks' novel though, as I believe his purpose for all of his books are to simply tell a story, without all of the embellishments of theme and analogy - the latter I tend to prefer.
If you are looking for an easy, comfort read - this would be it.
The movie adaption of this novel is coming to theaters this Thursday - February 14th, 2013. To watch the trailer click here
