In his 14th book, best-selling author Nicholas Sparks tells the unforgettable story of a man whose brushes with death lead him to the love of his life.

Is there really such thing as a lucky charm?

Enjoyed it! Nice summer read.

Nice Summer read. The book is much better than the movie. Watch the movie first, otherwise, you'll be disappointed.

Sweet story

Good love story without being too lovey-dovey. Narrator is good but takes a chapter or two to get used to. I really enjoyed this book.

LOVED IT! GREAT STORY! GREAT AUDIO!

Any additional comments?

I absolutely love it! You must read before you see the movie, but then I highly recommend the movie as well. I love Nicholas Sparks and this is one of my favorites!

Not my favorite Sparks novel

This was a slow storyline and rather predictable if you're familiar with Nicholas Sparks. The narrator is one of my least favorites that I've heard in Sparks novels.

Amazing story, Wonderful book.

Where does The Lucky One rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It is at the top of my list. I love John Bedford Lloyd. He is a wonderful reader, he speaks clearly and at the perfect pace.

Which character – as performed by John Bedford Lloyd – was your favorite?

Tebow.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It 100% made me cry. I never saw the end coming.

Any additional comments?

Everyone should read it before seeing the movie. The book is 100 times better.

Entertaining and insightful ...

My first Sparks novel. Couldn't put it down. Wonderful use of changing POV. External and internal dialogue flows swiftly like the swollen creek at the story's climax. Loved Keith Clayton's character.

Good but predictable

It was cute but predictable. I kept hoping to be surprised in someway. Not sure it was worth buying but certainly worth renting.
