I finally finished The Lucky One. Overall this was just a well written intriguing book for many reasons. One of those reasons is the characters. The characters were very well developed and relatable.
Logan Thibault- Logan is a veteran who suffers from PTSD. His PTSD and the passing of his best friend, is what i believe pushed him to find the girl in the picture he found during war that was supposedly his "good luck charm". He went on a very long journey, on foot, to find this woman. This tells you how determined Logan is. He is also very strong willed and he perseveres through many things.
Keith- Keith is the main antagonist is this book. He is very manipulative and he has many secrets that he would do anything to keep. He is also very self centred and feels as if he always needs to be in control. In the end these characteristics do him no justice and he ends up in a bad place.
Beth- Beth is overall a very caring person. Having said this, she has troubles forgiving people and moving on from her past. When she finds out that Logan came to look for her because of the picture and his suspicions that it was the reason he is stayed alive during war, she becomes very angry and wants nothing more to do with him. This is because that picture was her brothers and was meant to keep him alive during war, not Logan, and it failed. From this she has a hard time deciding if she should continue to let Logan into her life.
Overall the characters in this book become very developed by the end and it feels as if you really know them.
I think that this novel sounds very interesting. I have heard very good things about Nicholas Sparks. I have heard that the movies that his books are made into are very popular. I can relate to Beth because I am also a very caring person and i have trouble forgiving people. It would be interesting and challenging to be in her position. I would like to read this book and know the characters.
ReplyDeleteI think Nicholas Sparks is a great writer. I read The notebook written by him and it was great .
ReplyDeleteThis novel sounds really good and I really like Nicholas Sparks. I read The Last Song and you did a really good job summarizing the characters.
