the lucky one

This was a spectacular book! With the movie coming out I wanted to read the book before I learned any more about the story. How Nicholas Sparks comes up with his stories I'll never know. Each one is spectacular and each one I can't help but cry.

U.S. Marine Logan Thibault has not had it easy, but is very lucky. His friend attribute his luck to a photograph. After getting out of the Marines and an very unlucky accident Thibault along with Zeus, his German shepherd, goes on a long walk that leads him to Elizabeth and a world he never could have imagined.

Somehow, slowly but surly everything in Thibault and Elizabeth's life starts to come together. Thibault slowly realizes that he has found a home. No matter what Keith, Elizabeth's ex-husband, does to get in the way nothing can tear him apart from this place, his home.

Like all Nicholas Sparks books, the end is always full of twists and turns and for a second you think maybe he really did throw in something so very unexpected. But then there is a happy ending, one that everything is as it should be.
