Dear John: Review of a Romance Novel

by Valerie Lau

Nicholas Sparks, the internationally-bestselling Christian-romance author that wrote many of the books you see in movies, is the author of the highly popular book, Dear John.

Dear John begins with telling the background of John Tyree, a rebel that joins the army because he thinks that’s what is best for him. On his leave, John travels back to his hometown Wilmington, North Carolina, to see his Dad. There he meets Savannah Curtis. After only 2 weeks of being with her, he falls into a kind of love that leaves Savannah waiting for him while he finishes his tour of duty. They promise to marry each other when John finishes the army. 9/11 changes everything. John feels it’s his duty to his country to continue serving and he signs up for 2 more years. This takes a hard toll on their relationship. Can they survive? Read the book to find out.

Dear John is one of my favorite books. It’s completely well written and really easy to read. I would recommend it to anyone who likes romance or war stories.
