Nicholas Sparks, I think is the author version of Bollywood film director Yash Chopra, who basically defined romance in India. His books are all about everlasting, undying love, be it for a person, or for the idea of a person. The only difference is that all Nicholas Sparks books don't end with the much awaited 'happily ever-after' that the good old Yash Chopra films never fail to give us! Although his books don't always end with the boy and girl riding off into the sunset with each other (metaphorically, of course!), they always leave you with the hope that love like that exists. Love that exceeds boundaries and time but never ceases. Being the hopeless romantic that I am, I love his books!
He fills you up with hope that boys, or shall I say, men like that truly exist. Faithful, loyal, brave, devoted, chivalrous and also incredibly good-looking! Some may say that I've basically described a dog. But aren't dogs one of the best partners to have? What's wrong with wanting all those qualities in a man too? I don't care if they think its degrading or the characters in the books are just plain boring! Maybe a tad bit unrealistic, yeah, but not boring! His books for me are an escape to a world of beautiful, kind people who are madly in love with each other, and who again and again prove to us that love can overcome any obstacle!
That's what Nicholas Sparks' writing represents to me. Guaranteed pleasure, and maybe a few tears thrown in! What's wrong with wanting to live in the world of fantasies a little longer? If anything, it prevents you from becoming disillusioned and cynical? And maybe, even a little happier than the rest of the world!
