Book Review: True Believer

I'm a big Nicholas Sparks fan (aren't we all?) but I never seem to buy any of his books. Just like this one, I either borrow them or check them out at the library. I'm not sure why exactly. In this book, which is the first of two in a sequel, Jeremy Marsh, a writer from New York, goes down to North Carolina to try to debunk the legend that there are ghosts in this small town's cemetary. While there he meets Lexie Darnell, the local librarian. In true Nicholas Sparks fashion there is Southern charm and romance. However, also in true Nicholas Sparks form, it is fairly predictable. You know that the main characters are going to fall in love, have to sacrifice something, end it, and then get back together. I mean, that's how they all are...The Notebook, A Walk to Remember, The Lucky One, etc... It's true that sometimes a main character dies or has to sacrifice himself or herself and it's not a happy ending. I'm not going to tell you whether or not this book falls into that category. You'll just have to read it yourself.
