I picked these...

I know this is one of the well celebrated books, so I picked it. I tried borrowing it from the library but couldnt get a copy. So I decided to buy one myself. I had to resist reading it as I had the entrance. Once I wrote the entrance, I picked it and read it the way I read Harry Potter. After a long time i have laid hands on a love story.

Book Review :- ****(these are stars)

What I liked about the book :- The idea of letters was the best of all. Even though the story is all about brooding, I didnt want to skip any line. I almost cried reading the forty seventh chapter. What could be more touching ?

"As soon as Gerry knew he was safe, he pulled back the covers and slowly climbed out of bed. 

He sat on the edge of the mattress for a while, waiting for the dizziness to pass, then he slowly 

made his way to the wardrobe. He took out an old shoe box from the top shelf that contained 

junk he had collected over the past few years and that also contained the nine full envelopes. He 

took out the tenth empty envelope and neatly wrote “December” on the front. Today was the 

first of December, and he moved himself forward one year from now, knowing he wouldn't be 

around. He imagined Holly to be a karaoke genius, relaxed from her holiday in Spain, bruise-free as a result of the bedside lamp and hopefully happy in a new job that she loved. 

He imagined her on this very day in one year's time possibly sitting on the bed right where he 

was now and reading the final installment to the list, and he thought long and hard about what 

to write. Tears filled his eyes as he placed the full stop beside the sentence; he kissed the page, 

wrapped it in the envelope and hid it back in the shoe box."

Every word of this chapter is etched in a lovely way.
I read this over and again until I understood and felt every word of it.

The last letter.... What could Gerry think better than this? What could anybody think better than this ?

"Don't be afraid to fall in love again".

What I felt about the author :- Simple language. Lovely description of Holly's grief. I wonder how could someone explain so much ?

Suggestions :- Girls will enjoy reading more.
