Dear John
"What does it truly mean to love another?" The book Dear John by Nicholas Sparks starts with this pondering question, and throughout the book we start to discover the answer. As we delve into the lives of a student and a man in the army's summer vacation where they start to develop a relationship. Love at first sight? Never thought it could be real, but from the moment they meet eachother there is an instant spark of chemistry. Throughout the book it turns to a flame, a fire, and then ash. When John Tyree signs up for another year in the army, Savannah falls in love with another man. Is it truly how it is perceived by John though? Love truly does conquer all, and when we are far apart just remember, "that no matter where we are in the world, the moon is no longer bigger than your thumb." Metaphorically speaking, it means that no matter the distance, our love is bigger, although it may not seem like it.

I absolutely loved the movie and never read the book. I tend to hear that the book in many instances is better than the movie. Have you seen the movie by any chance if so I would love to hear if the ending in the book is any different then the ending in the movie. I found the ending in the movie to not be very strong and didn't like it. Thanks!
