Product Description
From Amazon
Garret may eat quiche, but no bother--before you can say "Look! I found two more letters!" Theresa is hot on his trail and determined to find this mysterious yet sensitive message-in-a-bottle man. She finds him at a sleepy North Carolina port, working on his beloved sailboat, The Happenstance. From there, a romance buds and blossoms into a colorful bouquet of emotional baggage. Theresa has problems with her past--or, more accurately, her past is a problem. She is so scarred from her "I'm a super churchgoing guy now that I've run out on my wife" ex-husband that she hasn't tried to date since her divorce some three or four years before. And who is Catherine? And what's Garret's bag, anyway? When Theresa finds out, she plunges to the depths of her soul and uncorks a whopper of a secret about herself, bringing Garret to terms with who he really is.
Message in a Bottle has the earmarks of sentimental tongue-wagging at its finest and should please romantics and cynics alike--it's sure to bring romantics to their knees, while cynics will be slapping theirs in laughter. --Rebekah Warren --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Eek!,

This review is from: Message in a Bottle (Mass Market Paperback)
I am a pretty big fan of Nicholas Sparks books and when I saw the book at a thrift store,I grabbed it up excitedly(it's not everyday you can find something you actually want to read in a second hand shop.) I read through it in just a couple nights. However, I was quite disapointed with Sparks writing style and at the beginning of the book, I was almost convinced that he had seen "Sleepless in Seattle" a few too many times. The plot does not seem to develop very well, the "trips" to and from Boston/North Carolina never added anything new. I also really did not like the ending. However, I would still recommend it to somebody who likes to read love stories, as it is entertaining and quite romantic/sad.And my own message, although it may not be in a bottle, is to any readers who pick "Message In A Bottle" as their first Nicholas Sparks novel to read: Stick in there! Pick up The Notebook, A Walk To Remember or The Guardian! Mr Sparks shows his true talent in these books!

Typical cheesy romance novel you'd see in markets,
By "purteeinpeach" (SoCal, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Message in a Bottle (Mass Market Paperback)
After finishing Message in A Bottle, I thought I must have a heart of stone. I did not cry once. The story itself was unrealistic, the dialogue was stupid and cliched. It's disappointing really because I felt absolutely no connection between the two main characters, Theresa and Garret, other than lust and desperation to have a real relationship after being alone for such a long time. They are not cute as Sparks intended during moments of flirting (she slyly did this, she coyly smiled, etc)...it's not cute, disgusting to read, really.The only redeeming quality about this novel is Catherine. I could actually feel this longing and true love between Catherine and Garret. They truly loved each other and their love was real, which is probably why it was so hard for me to accept Theresa and Garret's love...yeah, I know that's exactly what the story is about, the moral - We can all move on. T & G's love showed Theresa that we can all move on. And people can, however much I don't believe in it. But Sparks just doesn't make it believable. The whole time I was semi-disgusted with Theresa. Why did she never tell Garret about the letters? Come on, now really...even if I were so bold as to do what she did, I would have told him about finding the letters sooner. Disgusting. Ugh. I was rooting for Catherine the whole time. And the only parts I enjoyed in the novel were Garret's flashback of him and Catherine. I have rambled for the most part, but this novel really didn't live up to what I expected.

Box of Kleenex is a must,
By Desiree (Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Message in a Bottle (Mass Market Paperback)
The letters written by Garrett Blake to Catherine broke my heart. They were incredibly powerful and emotional. With every word, you felt the love,sorrow,and longing he had for his wife. I cried so hard when I read this book. Be prepared with a box of tissues because you'll need them. Fantastic,moving,emotional book by Nicholas Sparks. Just incredible.
