=Kylie M's 9th Grade Book Review=

Has anything really seriously bad happen to you that it screws up your life? Well it hasn't happened to me, but it has happen to Miles Ryan in the book "A Bend a Road," by Nicholas Sparks. The book takes place in North Carolina, a small town called New Bern. Everyone knew each other there and they noticed the change in Miles Ryan when it happened. Miles Ryan the sheriff of New Bern had a wife and a son. His son Jonah is in second grade. Sadly it all ends because Missy Ryan (wife of Miles) gets ran over by a car while out for a walk. Miles really didn't recover after that, as years went by he got better, but still not a hundred percent. They were together since high school, high school sweet hearts, never thought it would turn out like this no one did. This book was very interesting. The well use of description brought the book to life. The characters were well thought out and described very well. It would seem like I knew them in person, real life. As well as the setting, North Carolina, Newbern. Felt like I had already traveled there. The author really made/showed how much Miles loved Missy because he couldn't rest his case until he found out who had killed her. Even when he started dating his son's teacher, Sarah he couldn’t stop thinking about his wife, yet he loves Sarah as well. Then there's the conflict between the Timson brothers who like causing trouble, them and mils don't have a good relationship so who what Miles can do to them. This makes you want to keep reading. Another good thing about this book is that there are two things happening at the same time as you progress in the book. What I mean is that the person who ran over Missy is telling you there side of the story, how their life had changed. It’s pretty sad, but the suspension of who it could be keeps you wanting for more so you read and read. Over this entire book is a recommender. All those good details, very descriptive make it seem like it’s really happening. The killer talking to you throughout the book makes it eager to find out who it is, who ran over Missy Ryan? Makes read so much pretty soon you'll find yourself trying to finish the book.
