If you thought The Notebook was a tearjerker, get out the hankies, pull up a chair, and get ready to have your heart monkey-wrenched by Nicholas Sparks' second star- crossed love story, Message in a Bottle. When Theresa Osborne takes a much-needed summer holiday at Cape Cod, she finds a lot more than a break from the hustle and bustle. On an early-morning jog along Cape Cod Bay, she comes across a corked bottle with a scrolled-up message inside that reads: "My Dearest Catherine, I miss you, my darling, as I always do, but today is especially hard because the ocean has been singing to me, and the song is that of our life together..." It bobbles around in the same vein for several more paragraphs and ends with "...am alone on the pier and I do not care what others think as I bow my head and cry and cry and cry. Garret."

Garret may eat quiche, but no bother--before you can say "Look! I found two more letters!" Theresa is hot on his trail and determined to find this mysterious yet sensitive message-in-a-bottle man. She finds him at a sleepy North Carolina port, working on his beloved sailboat, The Happenstance. From there, a romance buds and blossoms into a colourful bouquet of emotional baggage. Theresa has problems with her past--or, more accurately, her past is a problem. She is so scarred from her "I'm a super churchgoing guy now that I've run out on my wife" ex-husband that she hasn't tried to date since her divorce some three or four years before. And who is Catherine? And what's Garret's bag, anyway? When Theresa finds out, she plunges to the depths of her soul and uncorks a whopper of a secret about herself, bringing Garret to terms with who he really is.

Message in a Bottle has the earmarks of sentimental tongue-wagging at its finest and should please romantics and cynics alike--it's sure to bring romantics to their knees, while cynics will be slapping theirs in laughter. -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Taschenbuch .

A melodrama to the extreem... 1. August 2000

Von Allan M. Gathercoal

Format:Taschenbuch

Message in a Bottle lacks the emotional power that Sparks enerated in his excellent novel, The Notebook. Meager character development, the lack of crisis and tedium makes this 288 pages book like going sailing without wind - listless and boring. The exchange between the key characters is often insipid ("you were kinda quite tonight" she said. "I guess I didn't have much to say." He said. She took his hand, "I am glad you were with me." "Yea" he said.") and the trite dialogue between these two lovers often make you wince.

The melodrama begins with a mid-aged, lonely, single mother (Theresa) kicking at the waves along the shores of Cape Cod. When, lo and behold, she finds a corked bottle that floats into her life. A bottle that contains a lamenting (and quite pathetic) love letter. He whines and pines over his lost true love, his soul-mate and lost wife -"Catherine". As a budding co-dependent she avidly reads each wailing word, and is deeply touch by Mr. Bottleman. Any man that you would force to read Mr. Bottleman's poetic letter would quickly suspect that it was wrote after the said writer drank the contents of the bottle he was about to use - Cutty Shark. So what is an accomplished, educated and cosmopolitan co-dependant woman to do (the right answer is to throw the bottle and message back into the sea without the cork)? Why, she finds out where Mr. Bottleman lives (Wilmington, NC) and begins her journey of finding this man, a man with emotional depth, the man who can offer her finally, for once, dear God just once, the same kind of love she has to give (folks you are going to need a few bottles yourself to get to the end of this book). Does she find him. Yes!

Does she find the deep, self-sacrificing love that only Mr. Bottleman can offer? Of course not - he goes stupid on us and sails into the gail of the decade. Not Recommended.

Sappy Message in a Bottle 5. Dezember 1999

Von Ein Kunde

Format:Taschenbuch

The Notebook made my buy this one and then I was sorry. This book had no depth, no meaning and I got a little sick and tired of "I love my dead wife" deal and "I love you because you love your dead wife" deal. When Garret died in the end I saw no reason for him to die and the worst part was that it didn't bother me. I didn't feel bad for Theresa...they were NOT in love with each other, they were both in love with dead Catherine in some perverse way. A really bad book, that lacks depth and emotion and for a love story...it lacks love.

against all odds 12. Oktober 2006

Von D. Koch VINE™-PRODUKTTESTER

Format:Taschenbuch

What a wonderful book. this novel by nicholas sparks is one of his best, the story is romantic but not overromantic. it's not difficult to understand from the language, also for german people who are learning english in school, like me. it's a really incredible story, how theresa and garret get to know each other - through a message in a bottle which theresa finds on a beach in cape cod where she made a vacation. the message is a loving hommage to his dead wife catherine. the letter touches theresas heart so she starts to search for information about the man who wrote so full of feeling until she meets him in north carolina - and the two fall in love.

what a wonderful story.

read it and be fascinated by it.

i would marry such a man like garret immediately :D
