Plot:
Nicholas Sparks goes on a three-week tour around the world with his brother, and reflects back on his life up until then, with emphasis on his relationship with his brother, with whom he's had a life-long friendship.

This book takes you on an emotional roller coaster as the author details the tragedies and successes of his life. He writes about how he became an author, and you learn what the inspirations were for many of his books.


Did I love it:
I loved it. I'm a sucker for memoirs - especially those about the lives of famous authors. And this one didn't disappoint. I've only read a few of Sparks' novels, but I would venture to say that this is probably the best thing he's written. It comes from the heart, and he does a great job capturing the emotions that surround the most significant moments of our lives - the good and the bad. There were a few stories that I busted a gut laughing over; I ear-marked those so I could go back and re-read them.

P.S. I'm not really sure why his brother is listed as a co-author; he didn't write any of it.

Sex: His sister gets pregnant while living with her boyfriend.

Violence: None.

Language: I think there's one "D" word and maybe an "H" word.
