Dear John Audiobook Review


This is a review of the Dear John Audiobook for iPod, iPhone and MP3 players.

Initially, I anticipated this mp3 audiobook to become an sappy romance history where the primary characters wind up living happily ever after. The starting definitely seemed like it, nevertheless as the Dear John audiobook progresses it becomes clearer and clearer that it isn't just an sappy romance but a story about love and also the numerous ways love can be shown.

John Tyree is really a soldier very first, a man second. Or so he thinks, till he meets Savannah Lynn Curtis. While on leave, he falls desperately in love with Savannah, the proverbial girl of his dreams. Sweet, intelligent, and providing, John know she is the love of his life.

September 11 changed us all and John is no exception. Moved by patriotic loyalty, he chooses to "re-up" in the army, adding time to his service and breaking his guarantee to return to Savannah. Many more promises are broken when he should attending to his ailing father.

This may be the story of how love can falter, despite its purity and strength. Not every romance has a joyful ending, but with some good fortune, people who do not survive will discover meaning from the journey. Love and loyalty, friendship and fidelity are sentiments to cherish, but to what price? And how does this make a good guy great? This really is John's journey to that knowing.

Listent to the Dear John audiobook I discovered my heart was aching for the characters. I could somewhat personally relate to this mp3 Dear John audiobook. For me this was a lot a lot more than just a Dear John audiobook for my ipod however it was a story with meaning, a sign pointing towards the healing. I suggest this Dear John audiobook to anybody who enjoys a story about absolute love. I also believe that individuals who love Dear John audiobooks that make them believe might appreciate this audio book also, since the Dear John audiobook does leave the listener having a whole lot to believe about and I'm certain a whole lot of individuals can reflect back to their pasts or maybe even their existing existence and re-evaluate a whole lot of experiences.

While I like listening to the Dear John Dear John audiobook, I did have some difficulties with eloquence from the primary character and some plot difficulties.

For the man, who in no way truly took to school, went to school, or did much reading - he's truly freaking eloquent. Sometimes he sounds like an old man attempting to speak like a young man. For instance, who says "coed" to describe female school students? The other half the time the character, John, speaks like a highly educated, school or graduate bound student. The guys I know do not speak like this whatsoever. So it made it a tiny bit less believable.

It goes with out saying that Nicholas Sparks is among today's "master" storytellers. A part of what makes him so good is that he has the capability to produce moving stories with out pulling punches or painful twists. True to form this is the situation in Dear John. Sparks provides a love story which has all of the requisite components--well-crafted setting, higher emotion, obstacles, resolution--then breaks it. It's from your sadness that hope emerges, and John Tyree, even though even now very young, gains wisdom that may last a lifetime. Sorrow is going to be a big a part of this, yes, but there's room for some thing much more, some thing that may achieve over and above the pages and touch John's heart tomorrow in the way only he will see.

While this works, there's some thing lacking. It's among these hard-to-define qualities that marks the distinction among a great mp3 audio book and 1 that's excellent. Perhaps it is the heavy reliance on John's soldiering as an excuse for particular behaviors.

In any case, if you like Nicholas Sparks other audiboooks. You will like Dear John Audiobook by Nicholas Sparks.
