I quite like your review format and certainly agreed with alot of your points on certain reviews. I'm guessing you have fairly diverse tastes in books based on some of the stuff I've seen here. I'd like to throw out a few of suggestions for you and will say nothing more than that I consider these worth reading, otherwise you may form your own opinions: 1. The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield 2. Born Standing Up by Steve Martin 3. Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen 4. The Blue Castle by LM Montgomery 5. The Road by Cormack McCarthy I found your blog by googling spoilers for “Dear John”, baiscally I wanted to find out what all the hype was about and you subsequently saved me from attempting to read it, so thank you for that!

Your book was amazing. It was very gripping, and continued to occupy my thoughts for a good, long time after I turned the final page. Thanks, Dave! Your book was amazing.
