#1 New York Times bestselling author Nicholas Sparks short changed his readers and reused his romance formula one too many times in his latest book, “True Believer.”
Jeremy Marsh, a journalist for the publication “Scientific American” travels to small town Boone Creek, North Carolina to investigate a few supernatural events at a local cemetery.
Instead of finding the usual bizarre phenomena, he falls in love with a local librarian, Lexie Darnell, the granddaughter of the town psychic.
“No, he couldn’t explain it, and in the future, he never would. It defied the laws of biology, it shattered his assumptions about the man he knew himself to be.” (excerpt)
Both Jeremy and Lexie are doubtful people, but they are skeptical in different ways.
“‘So tell me, Mr. Science Journalist, do you still doubt the existence of miracles?'” Jeremy now has to make a decision whether to follow the life that he had always known or break away and try something completely different and new.
With a couple of twists and turns throughout the story, Sparks gives his audience what they want – or does he? Some said his formula does little to help him in his latest novel.
Some of Sparks’ previous outstanding works regard storylines and topics of choice that brought tears to readers’ eyes including “A Walk to Remember,” “The Notebook,” “The Wedding” and many more. Sparks’ result was severely hindered compared with his previous works.
