I received Nicholas Sparks' The Lucky One from Miriam at Hachette Group, and I sent it off to my mom for review. So without further ado, here's my mom, Pat, and her review of The Lucky One.Logan Thibault finds a picture in the dirt on his third tour of duty in Iraq. He keeps the picture hoping that he will find the owner. His best friend and buddy has an explanation for Logan's good luck, the picture is his lucky charm.
Logan walks cross country with his dog from Colorado, stopping in towns to show the picture to people he meets. Nobody recognizes it. He ends up in Hampton, North Carolina where he meets Deputy Keith Clayton, who is divorced from Beth. Clayton and Beth have a son, Ben.
The journey Logan takes to find the picture's rightful owner is engaging and demonstrates the hardships family and friends can undergo. Sparks creates a heart-wrenching story. This is a must read, fast-paced novel. I give this five stars.

Awesome review. This one is on my list... I haven't read Sparks but I REALLY want to read this one.
I read and reviewed this one. Nicholas Sparks is my guy! Love all of his books.

Great review, Pat. I enjoyed this book too.
Thanks for the great review, Pat. This one is on my shelf (or should I say stacked on the floor LOL) and I hope to read it soon.

Great review. I personally am a big fan of Nicholas Sparks but didn't really love this one for some reason. It was okay for me.
Nely: I haven't read it yet, but my mom adored it.
hmmm...he's not really my cup o' cocoa...but the review makes the book sound interesting...do i dare pick it up?
I haven't read it, so I can't really tell you. I can tell you my mom loved this book and his other books.
Great review, Pat. I'm adding this one to my ever-expanding wish list!
Hi Pat-wonderful review! You captured the story perfectly. I enjoyed this one also although it wasn't one of my faves of his.
I have only read one Nicholas Sparks' book, The Notebook, which I really enjoyed. My mom is a huge fan of the author's books and has read just about every one of them. I'm sure she'll be loaning me this one when I see her again. Great review, Serena.
Somtimes I love Nicholas Sparks books, sometimes I hate them. This one sounds a little bit different. Maybe I'll check it out.
Sparks is such a good author even if his stories are heartbreaking most of the time which is why I read him sparingly.
I think my mom is enjoying her new hobby. LOL
Literary Feline: Your mom hasn't been debuted on your blog yet...any plans for that, since she loves Nicholas Sparks?
Nbbaker: I agree some I really love and others I don't
Ladytink: I have the same thoughts on his books. I can only take so much heartbreak
I read this one for my book club. Everybody else liked it a lot more than me. I thought it was just okay.
Some of his books I really like and some I don't.
