B0CRY25ZSW, #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the acclaimed author of The Longest Ride and The Notebook comes an emotional, powerful novel about wondering if we can change—or even make our peace with—the path we’ve taken.
“Sparks is superb at what he does. The setting is postcard perfect. The characters are immensely likable. . . . This is a tidy miracle you can count on.”—The Washington Post
Tanner Hughes was raised by his grandparents, following in his grandfather’s military footsteps to become an Army Ranger. His whole life has been spent abroad, and he is the proverbial rolling…, 4.5,

Title: A beautiful, heart wrenching read!
Review: Counting Miracles is a sweet, beautiful story of love, heart wrenching loss and awakening. The main protagonist Jasper is a loner who has suffered unimaginable loss of his whole family, wife and four grown kids. He and his dog, Arlo, somehow survive and keep moving forward in a life full of memories that break Jasper’s heart each time they flood into his mind.The story is also about a man, Tanner, who when he discovers his long-lost father’s name goes in search of him. His mother died at his birth and he was raised by his grandparents with no knowledge of who his father was or where to find him. At the death of his grandmother she leaves Tanner a message with his father’s name and the place to find him. Tanner is a lost soul and travels far and wide during his time in the service of his country and afterward until he finds himself busy in the town of his father. What he finds there is a woman who stops his heart at the sight of her and two children who capture his heart. Now all he has to do is make up his mind whether he wants to pursue her and still look for his father while his plans are to leave this town and go to Cameroon as an escape.This was an unforgettable tale that brought tears to my eyes as I prayed that Jasper would survive and Tanner would find love and his father. This author did it again – gripped my heart and didn’t let go until the ending. I can see this as a movie in the future which I will readily view with plenty of tissues handy.

Title: It was OK
Review: This is the first Nicholas Sparks book I ever read. Of course, like everyone else, I’ve enjoyed “The Notebook“ (the film). A great story, no doubt, but certainly an emotional roller coaster.This book starts with Tanner, but ends with Jasper. For this reason, I wasn’t really sure whose story this actually was. And (for me) there was too much bouncing back-and-forth through Jasper‘s history, which is of course necessary to understand how everything works out at the end— I skimmed a lot.I enjoyed Jasper‘s love and dedication for his family. I appreciated the Scriptural references as well. But I guess what I probably didn’t appreciate, in light of the inclusion of God‘s Word, were the encounters between Kaitlyn and Tanner of a sexual nature. I’m not necessarily prone to read books that feel like a sort of voyeurism—I’d much rather read between the lines and enjoy the innuendo. I suppose what I mostly didn’t appreciate was the sexual detail in a book that also talks a lot about the Scriptures—a strange combination, like mixing chocolate and scrambled eggs… Both are pretty good on their own, but maybe not mixed together?? It’s not that the two cannot coexist in life, of course. It just seemed to me a strange choice for the author to make: I mean, is it supposed to be a sexy book or a book based on self discovery through faith, as with Jasper?Certainly, it’s just my own opinion based on my personal preferences.This was a departure for me; I usually enjoy historical mysteries, but I was looking for a new read and I liked the plot. In terms of structure, I felt that we had to wait too long for Tanner to be able to employ his special skills from his military service. The character development was good. The pacing was a little slow, as I mentioned because of the historical backfilling of Jasper’s past. I did enjoy Jasper‘s observations of how he had felt left behind by modern technology, something I think seniors may often feel at times. I enjoyed the information about the Bradford pear trees. However, I was really frustrated that the author never fully allowed the plot to address Josh and family.And after the plot resolution, I wish we (as readers) had been allowed to spend a little more time with Jasper, Tanner, and Kaitlyn and the kids. I very much enjoyed the stomach-centered Arlo (and the reason for his name), not only with his love of food, but for man he seemed to have discovered so many years before… Jasper and Arlo, in a sense, saving each other. (Loved that!)For those who like Nicholas Sparks and that genre (dramas, romance, etc.), I’m sure that this would be an enjoyable read. The book could probably be finished in a day. Honestly, I would probably give it 3 1/2 stars if I could; and I feel like I spent too much money on it even at 50% off. For some, it would probably make a good pool or oceanside book.

Title: It’s Nicholas Sparks. ‘Nuff said!
Review: What an incredible feel-good journey! Sparks has a knack for developing the protagonist and supporting characters for immediate acceptance and concern by the reader. He introduces the primary protagonist and establishes the impact without belaboring the role. Sparks also so artfully crafts the vagaries of life as both being protagonist and antagonist in the lives of his characters. How he ties his diverse characters together — the overall plot — is magnificent. Reading this Sparks novel was like watching an artist create a masterpiece on a canvas.

Title: Stupendous read!
Review: I love this author (have for many years) and this one does not disappoint! The power of faith, family, love, and healing are juxtaposed with selfishness, cruelty, and entitlement and all the ways the war between the sides can be waged, and sometimes won. We should all count our miracles and thank God for the ability to witness/experience them 🧡.

Title: Just okay
Review: I now and then read a Nicholas Spark’s novel for the romance and the happy endings. This time, I found myself skimming through extraneous descriptions. In addition, the motivations of Jasper were ridiculous and his actions grossly out of sync with his physical condition. The romance was there and a neatly satisfying ending, but this was not one of the best of Nicholas Sparks novels that I have read.

Review: 軍を退職したTannner、祖母が亡くなる前に残したメモを頼りに会ったことのない父親を探す旅に出る。そこで出会った人達がTannner に奇跡の出会いをもたらすという物語。Nicholas Sparksはベストセラーを量産する作者だけあって家族の会話、子供や動物への優しい眼差しなど何気ない日常の情景を描くのは上手だなあと思います。主人公のTannner も魅力的な男性として描かれています。聖書の引用が出てきたり、狩猟が日常にあったり等々、大都会とは違うノースキャロライナの小さな町の雰囲気もよく伝わってきます。英語もとても読みやすく、ひたすら優しく心暖まる物語。Kindleセールで安く購入できたので満足。ただ、刺激を求める読者にはちょっと物足りないかも….。

Review: Starts off a bit slow but grabs you when you have the people and separate stories sorted out. Nicholas Sparks proves once again what a great storyteller he is.
