A Sherlock Holmes style detective story. There is a series of Reacher novels. It’s quite good. I think I am gonna explore more.

The Best of Me. Written by Nicholas Sparks.

The second book I read which is written by Nicholas Sparks. To be honest, I don’t think it’s as good as The Lucky One.

First of all, there are too many ghost things in his book. Well, there is something spiritual in The Lucky One, but when I first read it, I assumed it was acceptable considering what Logan had been through during the war; it could be post-trauma symptom. Meanwhile it was the first book I’d ever read by Sparks. I didn’t recognize the ghost or spiritual thing was kind of his style back then. But then when you read another one and the same thing kept popping out, you would think that was two much to take. I mean, unbelievable. I just don’t buy it.

Second, the love story told in this book, I don’t buy it either. It’ unrealistic, unconvincing.

Third, there is too much violence in this book. It’s not a detective series.

All in all, it’s just not my type. If you need something to kill time, it could be a choice. But for me, nothing more than that.
