My Thoughts
This was the first Nicholas Sparks book that I've actually read. In all honesty the movie release definitely influenced my decision to read it. That aside, I loved it!
It was an enjoyable read. It had the love story, suspense, there was action and a twist at the end that I never saw coming - not a bad twist, the book just never had my mind wandering in that direction. Thinking back and remembering the story, the twist isn't really that unpredictable. My mind just concentrated on other aspects.
Although I found it a little predictable in the beginning, I was pleasantly surprised when my predictions weren't always correct. It was definitely a real page turner for me - kept me wanting to keep reading to find out more. But, I guess that's a point to a novel after all!
Safe Haven has become a new favourite of mine and definitely a re readable book. I will also be reading more by Nicholas Sparks in the future.
