A sequel

i only bought myself At First Sight in Penang and i treasured it a lot. my eyes were like sparkling in excitement when i laid my spot on it on the shelf in Popular bookstores at Queensbay Mall. it was a rare item. i mean, i have been trying to search for a bundle of Sparks' collection but to no avail. and i noticed that it was only recently when Sparks' latest novel-made-movie namely Dear John and The Last Song which had made a huge accomplishment just like his debut breakthrough, A Walk to Remember, The Notebook, Message in a Bottle and Night in Rodanthe, that all of his masterpieces are mushrooming all over the "prominent" bookstores throughout Malaysia. i am quite surprised to find a mountainously stacked Dear John and The Last Song on the bookshelves at Popular KB Mall. Well, opt for Dear John first and fall in love with him. though i am truly a huge fan of Nicholas, i would say that The Last Song is a little disappointment compare to his previous novels. it was still good but it is a little too long with a poor 'wow' effect but still 'wowed' me, sending those shivering jolts all over my engrossed body but it is so typical, too typical, so random. i would love to see a different approach. yet, still giving it a two thumbs up.

Apparently, At First Sight is a sequel to True Believer. Ahh. No wonder that i knew that i havent read AFS before and i know that it's the only one from Nicholas that i haven't read therefore i picked it up without hesitating after i scanned through his collection on the bookshelves along with The Wedding, A Walk to Remember and Dear John, just to name a few. As i began my reading, i feel that the characters are so darn familiar to me and i knew how the story progress in True Believer and these characters have been living in it. Then, more characters popped up and OMG, i turned it to the back cover and Voila!, mentioning of At First Sight is a continuos to True Believer. and i am so enjoying reading it.

i always try not to have a sneak peek of the synopsis of the story, if possible. it is like so wrong because it might tuned down the wow effects which will lead to me judging it as a not-so-impressive story but in fact it was but due to me knowing of how it would turned out, it becomes not so stunning already. i picked my books based on my sudden discovery of the famous authors through daily basis. after i got my first reading of his/her work, and if it managed to amaze me, i will definitely follow up on the next books of his/her.

i have been missing reading, feeling the grain of pages after pages and explore one after another of the most exciting fictitious moments ever under my engrossed mind.
