With all of the love stories out there do we really need anymore? Some might say no, I say yes. I have just finished reading the novel __The Gaurdian__ By Nicholas Spark. This book was not only interesting and fun to read but it also had a crazy twist to it.Not only the book had a crazy twist to it but so did the characters! No matter where you left off you didnt want to stop, You always wanted to continue reading!

This book is not what you would call your typical love story, nor is it completely out of ther regular either. There are so many good parts to this book that caught my attention it is hard to say what is my favorite part of the book is, or what caught my attention most. When it comes down to it I would have to say that the twist on Julie the main characters ex boyfriend, who seems to be super nice, turns out to be a crazy guy who follows her everywhere she goes. I guess I find this to be my favorite part of the book because it seems like everything is going fine until the story is given a little twist to catch your attention. It really makes you wonder what is going to happen next. This part of the story has everything a good book needs, it has suspence, love, confusion, and hurt.

Fans of Nicholas Sparks may be surprised by this change from his usual stories of everlasting love. Sparks Noted that at the end of the novel he wanted to add an "element of suspense and peril" to the usual love stories he writes. Much of **The Guardian** concentrates on Richard's dangerous behavior while the romance on Julie and Mike is on hold. Julie becomes a widow at the age of 25 years when her new husband dies of cancer. After his death a puppy is delivered to her house with a note from her husband explaining he wants her to be happy. The dog (singer)grows to be her best friend and acts as a guardian. Years later when Julie decides to start dating again, Richard, who Julie seems thinks is the absolute perfect guy, singer seemed to dis agree with that factor. There was something set him off, and not only was singers sense right, but less than expected! There is so much to the book that when these things happen you are never expecting them to come along ! They come out of no where and surprise you.

When I first started reading the book it was just because I needed a book to read, so I borrowed it from one of my friends expecting to not like it much. I picked it up and could no put it down! The book from the very first page finds a way to catch your attention! Its like a roller coaster with so many ups and downs. I was not bored once while reading this book. The crazy things that happen are absolutely heart wrenching, eye catching, and mind blowing. When I tell people about it they think "oh, just another dumb Nicholas Sparks book". Yet this book is the exact opposite of almost any other Sparks book. He challenged him self to do something different and most defiantly rose to the occasion! He left nothing out, Sparks is an amazing writer in my mind no matter what anyone says. If you read **The Guardian** I'm positive you will agree with me!

The book not only tells you a wonderful story, but it makes you feel like you are in the book with them! I HATE reading but while reading this book I felt like I was escaping from my everyday life in to some other world and it was the most amazing feeling ever. A book like this is something that is needed to be discovered by everyone for them to see how amazing reading really can be if you get in to the book.

I would most defiantly recommend that everyone alive reads this book, Yes even guys would like the love story written by Nicholas Sparks. It has suspense, surprise, love, and Violence!! Please explain to me what is not to love about this book. There is nothing not to love! So I recommend you go to your closest library and check it out now before they are all gone!
