Description

When a rebel serving in the Army meets the girl of his dreams, he must face an impossible choice as a national tragedy forces them apart in this powerful New York Times bestseller.

An angry rebel, John dropped out of school and enlisted in the Army, not knowing what else to do with his life--until he meets the girl of his dreams, Savannah. Their mutual attraction quickly grows into the kind of love that leaves Savannah waiting for John to finish his tour of duty, and John wanting to settle down with the woman who captured his heart.
But 9/11 changes everything.
John feels it is his duty to re-enlist. And sadly, the long separation finds Savannah falling in love with someone else. "Dear John," the letter read...and with those two words, a heart was broken and two lives were changed forever. Returning home, John must come to grips with the fact that Savannah, now married, is still his true love--and face the hardest decision of his life.

    I had already watched the movie several times and loved it. I had really high expectations for this book since I loved the movie and I was not let down. I was crying a lot during different points of the book and I loved it.
  • Romantic at its best

    This book truly consists of everything an amazing book needs. The connection to the characters, the multiple plot twists, the heart wrenching story lines, the romance, the beautifully written narration & dialogue all intertwine to make this book one you simply cannot put down. This is truly by far the best book I have ever experienced.

    This books is one of the best of Nicolas S. The part of him reading the letter with his dad in the hospital and when he was all alone in the funeral broke me, and never cry! I don't get why the movie was soo different and it didn't have the feeling of the book! What a waste of good book! Read it is 100 times better than the movie!

    The novels by Nicholas Sparks are by far some of my most favorite books. In Dear John I was always being grabbed in and was always wondering what would happen next. I loved the story line of it as well. Different than most romantic novels. Great book!
