Book DescriptionWhere does a story truly begin? In life, there are seldom clear-cut beginnings, those moments when we can, in looking back, say that everything started. I'm not sure why I feel compelled to tell my story in the first place. What can be achieved by unearthing the past? But I know I must try to tell it, if for no other reason than to finally put this all behind me. This is, above all, a love story, and like so many love stories, it is rooted in tragedy. At the same time, it is also a story of forgiveness. And it is my story as well. I, too, played a role in all that happened -From A BEND IN THE ROAD Miles Ryan's life seemed to end the day his wife was killed in a hit-and-run accident two years ago. As deputy sheriff of New Bern, North Carolina, he not only grieves for her and worries about their young son Jonah but longs to bring the unknown driver to justice. Then Miles meets Sarah Andrews, Jonah's second-grade teacher. A young woman recovering from a difficult divorce, Sarah moved to New Bern hoping to start over. Tentatively, Miles and Sarah reach out to each other....soon they are falling in love. But what neither realizes is that they are also bound together by a shocking secret, one that will force them to reexamine everything they believe inincluding their love.

 You won't be able to put it down...
A Bend in the Road is by far my favorite Spark's novel. It balances mystery, romance, and suspense perfectly to keep the reader interested at all times. I adored the main characters, and could relate to them easily. You will laugh, cry, and your heart will be warmed. I read through A Bend in the Road in one sitting. I suggest you do the same.

I'm not a reader, but this is the best book!
This was an excellent book. This is the book that got me hooked on Nicholas Sparks!

Cuddle up and Read
I love Nicholas Sparks' books. Like all his books they are an easy read. Just cuddle up on the sofa and begin. As always he mixes tragic and love. This one is especially sweet with a child who lost his mom, and his dad finding new love. There are twist and turns in the book and some are sad. You won't be dissappointed.

 Predictable
I read the back cover of this book and immediately knew most of what would happen. As soon as I met the character who would turn out to be the driver, I knew the rest of the story. It was extremely easy to figure out and quite disappointing. The story's decent. The text flows nicely, and the suspension of disbelief is strong, but where did Nick's originality go? Where's the sweet and innocent charm of The Notebook, A Walk to Remember, and Nights in Rodanthe? It seems like he's run out of steam, or didn't care too much about this one.
A decent book to read, but don't expect anything spectacular as you would with his earlier work.

It doesn't get any more predictable than this...
The concept of this book could've worked, but Sparks didn't develop any other characters to throw the reader off track. It's painfully obvious who is driving the car. The dialogue between Miles and Sarah when they are first getting to know each other is extremely annoying, as is their relationship. Interesting how she breezes into their family and is accepted by Jonah with open arms. And the ending to the story is laughable. I won't give it away, but I'm sure you can figure it out within the first 10 pages. I doubt I can read another Sparks novel again.
