Dear John

This book was by the same author as the Notebook, Nicholas Sparks. I haven't read The Notebook, but now I want to. Dear John looks like a war survival story, especially since 9/11 has a major impact on some of the characters in this book, but it's not. It's a wonderful story about loving, losing, and caring about someone so much you'll let go of them.
The main character is John Tyree, and while on leave from the marines, he falls in love with Savannah. They're deeply in love and he visits her on his leaves, but whrn 9/11 rolls around he reenlists and gets sent to Kuwait. Savannah falls in love with another man, and John is heartbroken. Meanwhile, he's trying to keep his relationship stable with his father, which is hard considering his father may have Asperger's...

This book is so great, but it's one of those ones that when you get to the end, you go, "Crap, such a good book, such a sad ending." But then you think that if the book had a happy ending, it might not be as good.
And so ends all the books I read and finished at Bass Lake.
