True Believer: At First Sight By Nicholas Sparks

Improved Essays
The book I read is called At First Sight by Nicholas Sparks. It is a continuation of True Believer which was also written by Nicholas Sparks. I think the author wrote this continuation of this book because so many people wanted to know what happened to Jeremy and Lexie. They wanted to know how things turned out and what their future held. I obviously wanted to know what happened to them too. That’s why I decided to read At First Sight to see what happened to Jeremy and Lexie. The book is to entertain the readers about a couple who is in love but is facing difficult problems throughout their marriage. The book was also taken place in Boone Creek, NC which is a fictitious place but is carried out through the book because it is described so well throughout the book. They also go to places in the book like, the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse and New York City.

My overall impression of the book
…show more content…
They are expecting their first child and getting married soon. Jeremy made a sacrifice for Lexie, he moved down to Boone Creek, NC and left everything he ever had in New York. He left his family and friends, just for Lexie. In the story, he is having trouble writing columns for his job, which puts him over the edge. Him and Lexie are also having trouble with their marriage. At First Sight that will keep you on the edge and you will never expect what happens in the end of the book to the characters.

Many things about this book strike me as noteworthy, the sequence of events and what happens to the characters definitely make the book great. I can remember when Jeremy and Lexie fighting on Lexie’s front porch and when they were getting a sonogram on their baby most vividly. I think the book did convey the author’s purpose of giving a love story for readers to read with mystery. I developed feelings for the characters just as if they were people in real life. I started caring for them and got upset if something happened to

    Anne Fadiman’s book The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down, tells the story of the clashing of cultures between the Hmong culture and Western culture through the lens of medicine. Fadiman’s plot revolves around Lia, a Hmong girl born with severe epilepsy, and the tales of Hmong culture, allowing the reader to understand the actions of Lia and other Hmong, like her parents, as their culture heavily influences their beings. Thus I propose that this book remain a summer reading requirement as the book contains a unique correlation of culture and medicine, the themes are straightforward to analyze and provides a gradual preparation for the incoming year. The book itself consists of an interesting format, switching back and forth between plot…

    Although Jeremy and Katherine’s storyline was delightful, Elissa’s was enthralling. I found myself completely sucked in once I got the hang of the story switch.

With her love of theater and acting being her one main outlet, she begins to blossom even more when she discovers her gift for painting the world around her. The only thing that diminishes her joy in these arts is the fact that once she is done with school for the year, she will be forced into an arranged marriage with a cruel and malicious man.…
