Message in a Bottle is Nicholas Sparks’ finest work

Published on: May 1, 2019 12:11 AM

How do you feel when you read such an inspiring book that takes you far away from the world? Surely, it makes the readers feel very amazed.

Message in a Bottle is one such inspirational book that can easily change the concept of readers about lifestyle which is commonly considered “Ended” life. The author, Nicholas Sparks, has written this book to show a way to the people that life’s happiness cannot get easily finished being worried. In the same way, “Night in the Roadanthe” carries the same message to make the readers restart their life when they find no aim to live further. Thus, this book is a clear example of the presence of the hardships to test the human beings courage.

Theresa Osborn, a divorced woman in 40, left her home for the beach for jogging in the sunny season as per her routine. She saw a bottle lying at the beach containing a love letter in the shape of a message by Garrett Blake to his beloved wife Catherine. Theresa realized that she had never read such a piece of writing in her life. Afterwards, she took the help of her company for its publication on social media. Theresa thought that every individual should get awareness about the letter that how some men love their wives even after their death. And Garrett expressed his love for Catherine in the shape of a letter.

Theresa falls in love with the man after reading his love letter. With the passage of time, a friend of Theresa’s gets another letter from Garret through a secret source of hers and then, she discusses the event and the letter from the man with Theresa. Theresa starts searching for him and then gets another letter, this time in the form of a blog

Theresa fell in love with the man after reading his love letter. With the passage of time, a friend of Theresa got another letter of Garret’s through a secret source of her and then, she discussed the event and the letter of the man with Theresa. Theresa started searching him and then she got another letter of but this time in the shape of a blog. Finally, she met Garret with the help of that blog. And Garret shared the entire story of Catherine and himself.

They started getting close to each other in eight days. Suddenly, some misunderstanding erupted and they got separated. Before they resolved misunderstandings, Theresa got a call about Garret’s funeral which was shocking for her. She discovered Garret drowned in the water like Catherine. And this made Theresa continue the process of writing like Garrett.

This story is the greatest work of the writer where he employed his unique style of writing and well-designed characters. And the letter can cause emotional feelings in readers’ minds.

Dialogues are limited because the majority of the dialogues suit the characters. The separation of Garret and Miss Osborn creates a burden in her life because they start doing their jobs as usual. The biggest strength of this book is that its story is based on a love story with ground realities of life because Garret fell in love with Theresa after losing his beloved wife Catherine. The weakness of the book is the absence of an explanation of the characters outer looking. So readers face difficulties to imagine the characters since it is the main component of writing. Otherwise, this book deserves to be read as I enjoyed reading it a lot.

Message in a Bottle is the second romance novel written by American author Nicholas Sparks. The story, which explores the romance theme of love after grief, is set in the mid-late 1990s, then-contemporary Wilmington, North Carolina. The 1999 film ‘Message in a Bottle’ produced by and starring Kevin Costner, is based on this novel.
