Book #64 - Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks

Wow! As usual, it is worth the year wait for his next bestseller soon to be blockbuster. This book was fantastic, scary, and intense with an absolutely beautiful ending. In addition, for the first time, I felt like Nicholas Sparks had an ulterior motive in his book. The underlying, yet screaming, theme of this book was spousal battery. There were incidents in this book that literally made me want to vomit. He also demonstrated the disgustingness of alcholism. Sparks painted a picture of courage and resolve in the heroine that was able with constant planning and viligance to escape the nightmare of an alcohol and abusive husband who started beating her the first day of their honeymoon. It took her four years to escape, and yet, he still hunted her down for one last standoff. This was one of Nicholas Sparks' finest works and just like at the end of all of them, I have a great sadness that I read it so fast and am not waiting for the next one.
