Nicholas Sparks Books Vs Movies

I’m big fan of Nicholas Sparks books however turning them all into movies…not so sure. While the stories overall are still engaging, entertaining and all that, it’s the old argument of book vs movie. Us readers all know that the majority of the time the movie isn’t true to the book nor is it as...
