what a lucky listen!

i'm not usually a nicholas sparks' kind of gal, simply for the fact that his books are always so predictable and seemingly not worth one of my two credits a month. so rarely do i pick his books. however, after reading some of the reviews i decided to give it a try and i was so glad i did.

this book is precious, has endearing moments between the two characters and while i had a tough time with how amazingly fast he found the woman in the picture, it was still an excellent adventure. the ending was a surprise too, something i wasn't expecting.

after reading it i ended up seeing the movie and it too was just as sweet as the book. i guess i'm a sucker for love.

For real

I never get tired of this author's books. Even though they are always about finding and or loosing love he indivualizes every story. Also the men and women in his storys seem to be real people. You don't have to be envious after listening to his storys. Your husband or wife could actualy live up to the stamdards the author sets in his characters.

Wonderful story filled with love & surprise

Started a little slow the first chapter or two, but once it got going, I could turn it off! Kept me hanging on til the end...the ending was a total surprise!

reader is horrible!

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

I'm not sure I can finish this! The story is ok but the reader is horrible. Listening to him try to change his voice into a woman's voice with a southern accent, or a little boy's voice .... horrible. My husband and I were laughing out loud. Totally distracting to the story!

Great read

What did you love best about The Lucky One?

I loved Logan. What a great hero. This was a great romance, with real characters and it kept me wanting more all the way through

Any additional comments?

The Narrator did well. His female voices took a little getting use to, but overall he did really well.

HORRIBLE NARRATOR

Why does N/S always get the narrator who immitates female voices? I could not make it through for first page of this one. I love N/S books - NOT his audio books thouhg
