Summary
Is duty enough reason to live a lie? When John meets Savannah, he realises he is ready to make some changes. Always the angry rebel at school, he has enlisted in the Army, not knowing what else to do with his life. Now he's ready to turn over a new leaf for the woman who has captured his heart. What neither realises is that the events of 9/11 will change everything. John is prompted to re-enlist and fulfil what he feels is his duty to his country.
But the lovers are young and their separation is long. Can they survive the distance?

Love this story
I've loved this book for years - it was the first book I cried in and to relive in through audible was great.

One of the best romantic novels of the past 20 years
First read Dear John when it was published in 2006. I was a teenager then and 17 years later - I enjoyed this audio book version even more perhaps because I have a better understanding now of what love and sacrifice really mean! I liked the film but the book is better and punches so much more of an emotional punch. I as a woman who reads a lot of romantic fiction have always liked Nicholas Sparks’ books and Dear John in particular because the point of view comes from a male character. In the bulk of contemporary romantic fiction you get more of a female perspective. It really made this novel standout. My one complaint is that John idealised Savannah far too much and was very hard on himself. It is left to the reader to interpret this dynamic through lots of hints but it would have been good to have another character make a remark on their characters. Only flaw. Ending floored me both times. Must read for all romantics. Great narration by Holter Graham.

Another triumph
Nicholas Sparks is probably one of the greatest storytellers out there. As with his other books, Nicholas has once again written an unforgettably powerful and rich story. Dear John is not just a love story but a story which encompasses so much more. The characters are very likeable, the narration is superb and overall the story is just fantastic. Well done Mr Sparks 😊

Love the book hate the musical interludes
I watched the film first and loved it, so I thought I'd listen to the book. Loved the book but hated the musical interludes that seemed to crop up at the end of each chapter. It wasn't needed and just took away from the story. The guy reading it was fine.

really enjoyed it!
I enjoyed this book. Audio books is new to me and I was surprised how nice it was to have the story read out to you. The narrator read this story out fantastically,he had a very clear voice and a nice accent also. yes I enjoyed it and onto the next Nicholas spark novels now.

Mediochre
Quite disappointed with this one. In all honesty, I wish I hadn't bothered. The story moves at a terribly slow pace. Then the author packs too much in to the final chapters in a desperate bid to wrap things up.
