Message In A Bottle

Aug 26, 2006 15:03

I feel deeply moved. It is hard to express what I am feeling in words but for your sake I'll give it a shot. last night I was really hyper and I was obviously being annoying to my sister who was on the computer at the time and my mom who was trying to read a book. I was trying to wait patiently for my sis to get OFF the computer so I myself could get on and read some fan fiction. When my mom first came in the living room she threw a book at me and told me to shutup and read. I was not really up to reading so I sat on the chair holding the book, not really caring and just singing to myself(I tend to do that a lot.). Finally I opened the book which was called, A Message In A Bottle by Nicholas Sparks. The Prologue was so different that I was moved to read the first chapter. The first chapter was so intruging I moved to read the next chapter and it went on and on until 4 in the morning. I definatly forgot about wanting to get on the computer and I got half way before I decided I should probably get to sleep. When I got up this morning I decided to read while I waited for the shower to get open. Soon I forgot about it and just sat on my bed and read and read and read.

Now enough about how I got to reading the book, I bet you want to know WHY I was so intruged. Well, it was about two people who had been in love before, Theresa and Garrett, who were both in there mid-thirties. Theresa and her husband divorced because he was having affairs, so she took care of her son who was 12 years old but he would visit his father often. Garrett's wife was killed by an on-coming car. Garrett was still depressed about his wifes death, even 3 years later. He would sometimes write letters to his dead wife in a way of dealing with the pain and would put them in a bottle and send them out to sea. While Theresa was jogging on the beach of Cape Cod she came accross the bottle. She was so deeply moved by what it said she showed her friend who presuade her to publish it in he column since she was a columnist for the Boston Times. She soon (by ways I wont wast your time by telling you) came accross two more of the letters. She and her firend looked up information about him of what they could find from his letters. She soon new where he lived and did for a living. Her curiosity was so great she went there to meet him and one thing led to another and they fell in love with each other. It ends with him dying out at see when he was going to send his last letter to his dead wife, finally able to accept that he loved Theresa truly. but he never made it back to shore because a storm hit and his body was found days later. Theresa was told of what happened by Garrett's father and she found herself experencing what Garrett had gone through when he lost his wife.

I cried so hard at the end. I found it so hard to stop. finally I went and took a shower and now I am on live Journal telling you of the book.

Update:Maybe I should not of written this all... I gave away the book. I am SO sorry! Ohh, how thoughtless I am, you might have wanted to read it but I ruined it for you. Bad, BAD me!
