Amazon.com Review
An angry rebel, John dropped out of school and enlisted in the Army, not knowing what else to do with his life--until he meets the girl of his dreams, Savannah. Their mutual attraction quickly grows into the kind of love that leaves Savannah waiting for John to finish his tour of duty, and John wanting to settle down with the woman who captured his heart. But 9/11 changes everything. John feels it is his duty to re-enlist. And sadly, the long separation finds Savannah falling in love with someone else. "Dear John," the letter read...and with those two words, a heart was broken and two lives were changed forever. Returning home, John must come to grips with the fact that Savannah, now married, is still his true love--and face the hardest decision of his life.

 Worst book ever March 14, 2010
Joel Montes de Oca (Miami, FL)
I picked up this book after a friend of mine asked me to read it with her. I agreed and read it. I must say this is one of the worse books I have ever read. Nothing ever happens in the story and it was just a huge waste of time.

Another terrific Nicholas Sparks book. Tear Jerker, but really pulls you in while reading. Hard to put down.
Dear John March 13, 2010
Eric Roush (Vacaville, CA)
Good book but not all it was hyped up to be. Purchase was great though. This book was going for almost $20 at our local bookstore and I got here for like $7 and it was brand new and in great condition. Just ordered some more...
Military Woman GREATLY disappointed!!!!!! March 12, 2010
Lauren M. Himes (Sicily, Italy)
Let me just say I am beyond grateful this book was a short one. Being someone who has dated and married a military man I was expecting something far more meaningful, explaining the true passion of what a REAL couple feels when falling inlove so deeply in such a short amount of time and then having to leave one another. As someone who has experienced that, I was looking to read this novel and somewhat relive my own experience. NOT SO! This story was unbelievably flat and I felt as if although idealy we wish we could all be as perfect as Savanah, I would rather not be as boring as her. I found myself strongly disliking her and found that she lacked any real personality at all. It felt as though this awesome author was more focussed on writing a book about being vertious and religuous then writing a passionate love story to remember for years to come. As for me I find myself wishing I could forget how annoying Savanah was. John was almost induring but also extremely flat and more obsessed than passionate. I'm hoping someone comes along and writes a true to life love story about being inlove with someone in the military. It would also be nice if they could twist it around a little and make the female the one in the military, and her man waiting for her to return. It seems that story has never been told. Either way I am telling all my friends not to waste their time on this one, and honestly I'll be skipping the movie as well.
Dreadful ending! March 12, 2010
Jessica Kennedy (Waynesboro, PA United States)
My Grade: 4/5
I loved the movie trailer so much that I decided to read this before seeing it. I loved the movie The Notebook, which was also a book written by Nicholas Sparks but I'd never read anything by him.
I did NOT love Dear John. I hated the ending. I will not see this movie now. The rest of the book was an incredibly awesome, heart wrenching, love story superbly written. Again, the ending ruined this book for me.
P.S. - I loved John. That is all.
