The Lucky One

I read the The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks. It's about a marine named Logan who finds a picture of a women while in Iraq. The picture brings him good luck and somewhat saves his life, so he decides to find the women when he gets home. Surely, after he's done serving in Iraq, he finds her at a dog training house, where she lives. He decides not to tell her about the picture, and just applies for a job as a dog trainer. Throughout the story, Logan and Elizabeth, the lady in the picture, fall in love. Of course, it wouldn't be a Nicholas Sparks book if there wasn't some drama and conflict. So, Keith, Elizabeth's ex-husband finds out about Logan and his picture and decides to tell Elizabeth. Elizabeth gets emotional because she gave the picture to her brother, who was also a marine, and wanted the picture to bring him good luck, not Logan. Elizabeth and Logan separate for a while, but at the end get back together for a happy ending. I love Nicholas Sparks books, but they all have a similar plot and are generally about the same things. So, The Lucky One was very predictable in what was going to happen. Other than that, I recommend this book a lot. Once you start reading it, it's hard to put it down.

  3. I recently saw this movie and was wondering if you have seen it as well. I would agree with you that most Nicholas Sparks movies are predictable and I really enjoyed the plot of the story. Do you think that it was still fun to read the book even though you had an idea of what was to come? Overall it sounds like a great book and I would love to read it soon!

  4. I have seen other movies and read books by Nicholas Sparks and yes, they are very predictable. Really good, but you know what is going to happen
