romantic suspense ). و رغم أن تجاربي مع كل ما سبق ليست بالكثيرة، و إذا ما أخذنا بعين الإعتبار التحولات التي تطرأ على إختيارات القاريء و ميولاته مع مرور الوقت، تبقى كتابات نيكولاس سباركس واحدة من الثوابت القليلة في إختيارات عبثت بها فوضويتي، تعدد توجهاتي، ميزاجيتي و الأهم من كل ذلك التغيرات التي طرأت على شخصي. Ruth and Ira’s story, on the other hand, is a completely different case. I found their story heartwarming and most certainly intriguing than the aforementioned couple. Ruth had been dead for nine years. Since then, Ira was adrift between his past and present because that one beacon that had held him afloat was no longer there. For most part of their story, it was about recounting the love they had shared between one another. Definitely eye-tearing material. If Ruth and Ira were the lead characters of this book, I think I wouldn't have minded the book so much. It might even gain another star from me. It was only the day after I finished the book that I started to remember some ways where the movie was a little different to the book. At the time of reading I was far too absorbed to even think about that. It was a case of ‘don’t bother me, I’m reading.’ Not quite true I wasn’t just reading, I lived each moment with these characters. At times was reading through teary eyes. My darling husband is used to this reaction when I’m reading a Nicholas Sparks’ novel.

Nicholas Sparks books are not steamy at all, there’s zero sex, but there’s pure romance. I think that is why people love these books so much. As much as I enjoyed Luke and Sophia’s story, I was really interested in Ira’s. There is no correlation between the two and it’s kind of confusing, but it completely worked in the book. Meanwhile, Sophia Danko, a Wake Forest College student, recuperating from a recent breakup, is about to have her life changed forever when she meets an unexpected love, Luke Collins.

[19] Accolades [ edit ] Year Britt Robertson Boards Nicholas Sparks Romance 'The Longest Ride' ". www.deadline.com . Retrieved May 5, 2014. Thankfully, The Longest Ride was absolutely perfect! Probably my first, hopefully not my last, 5 star rating for Sparks. This novel is definitely my favorite by Sparks and I canNOT wait to see the movie. Ira Levinson is in trouble. At ninety-one years old, in poor health and alone in the world, he finds himself stranded on an isolated embankment after a car crash. Suffering multiple injuries, he struggles to retain consciousness until a blurry image materializes and comes into focus beside him: his beloved wife Ruth, who passed away nine years ago. Urging him to hang on, she forces him to remain alert by recounting the stories of their lifetime together – how they met, the precious paintings they collected together, the dark days of WWII and its effect on them and their families. Ira knows that Ruth can’t possibly be in the car with him, but he clings to her words and his memories, reliving the sorrows and everyday joys that defined their marriage. With unexpected poignancy, the journeys of these two contrasting couples, divided not just through age but generations of experiences, will intertwine to create a mystical realm through the perspectives of Ira, Sophia and Luke.This is my first narration by January LaVoy and she is fabulous. She has a sweet and very pleasant voice and I loved her male transition. Sometimes I felt like it was a male narrator speaking to me. I will definitely stalk her and listen to more of her books. This is my first narration by Ron and he sounded like his character, I really old man. I’m not sure if I will listen to his voice again, unless I’m listening to a book that has an old man, but he did a great job. I loved his reactions and I felt his emotions. You can tell the production of the book was really high quality. I simply loved it. The two stories were so different and individual that it was strange connecting and making any parallels between them. These are just two separate plots which were somehow connected in one book. The ending was obvious and too "fairy-tale". Ira Levinson is in trouble. Ninety-one years old and stranded and injured after a car crash, he struggles to retain consciousness until a blurry image materializes beside him: his beloved wife Ruth, who passed away nine years ago. Urging him to hang on, she forces him to remain alert by recounting the stories of their lifetime together - how they met, the precious paintings they collected together, the dark days of WWII and its effect on them and their families. Ira knows that Ruth can't possibly be in the car with him, but he clings to her words and his memories, reliving the sorrows and everyday joys that defined their marriage. This book wasn't quite what I had expected, it started out feeling very much like The Notebook but it didn't live up to that standard. Overall I enjoyed this book, not my favourite Nicholas Sparks book, but then again, not the worst!

Bull riding is not a sport I am interested in but that didn’t matter, because the character of Luke drew me into his experiences. I really liked all four of the main characters. I experienced every emotion with them and also those of Luke’s mother, Linda.Then we have this other story, Ira and Ruth. This one had so much more potential! But overrall... meh. Their story was definitely better than the main one but at the same time I found the chapters about Ira inside the car way too annoying, like, I wanted to move on with the book and to me they kind of felt slow and even pointless. year old Ira is trying to stay conscious after his car crashes, and whilst struggling to remain conscious he sees an image of his beloved late wife Ruth, who urges him to hang on and recounts their story and life together. Meanwhile, college student Sophia meets cowboy Luke she is thrown into a world far removed from her privileged school life.
