    About this audiobook

    Adrienne Willis is 45 and has been divorced for three years, abandoned by her husband for a younger woman. The trials of raising her teenage children and caring for her sick father have worn her down, but at the request of a friend and in hopes of respite, she's gone to the coastal village of Rodanthe in North Carolina to tend the local inn for the weekend. With a major storm brewing, the time away doesn't look promising...until a guest named Paul Flanner arrives. At 54, Paul is a successful surgeon, but in the previous six months his life has unraveled into something he doesn't recognize. Estranged from his son and recently divorced, he's sold his practice and his home and has journeyed to this isolated town in hopes of closing a painful chapter in his past. Adrienne and Paul come together as the storm brews over Rodanthe, but what begins between them over the weekend will resonate throughout the rest of their lives, intertwining past and future, love and loss.

      Nights in Rodanthe is an impactful story of love and loss that is full of imagery and the ability to relate to anyone whom may be facing hardship
    • 2/5
      ** spoiler alert ** Nicolas Sparks is a favourite author of mine, but I have to say I was a bit disappointed in this book. I still read it quite quickly, but I didn't feel for the story the way I usually do.The lead-in, getting to know the characters section was too long, and it was like reading a dry biography a lot of the time. The section when they were together was too short, and not written in such a way as to give a proper feel for the relationship. As for the ending, I could see the outcome coming a mile away.Normally Nicholas Sparks' book make me cry at some point, but despite the fact it dealt with losing a partner you love far too soon, something I have experienced in real life, this book did not make me cry. I think the mother's talk with her widowed daughter was the best part of the book, the sharing of similar grief, but trust me, if Adrienne had been in love with Paul as much as she was supposed to have been, she would not have been able to hide her grief the way she was meant to have. And why is it that after her brief time with a man who healed her past hurts, and made her feel lovable again, she knows she'll never fall in love again? At least after her divorce she was open to the idea, but then when she was 'healed' it wasn't an option. Surely a love worth having can come by a third time?Overall, the book left me feeling a tad depressed. But if you liked "Bridges of Madison County", you would probably like this too.
    • 3/5
      light read
    • 2/5
      Because of the movie trailers I expected a big sweeping love story...that's not exactly what I got from the book. I feel that with Sparks his stories are best turned into movies. There's bigger emotions in the movies...like The Notebook, the book was ehhh, but the movie was OMG! Of course, I haven't seen this movie yet, but the book was just ehhh.
    • 3/5
      This was an ok novel, not s good as THE NOTEBOOK, or MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE. It was bit preditable. Still,i haven't read any of Sparks that i didn't like something about.
    • 5/5
      Excellant book! True love is never forgotten even after it's gone. Some love stories seem too good to be true, too easy. But I really fell for the love story here.
    • 2/5
      Let me just start off by saying that I absolutely LOVE Nicholas Sparks's book, but I just couldn't even like this book. Maybe it was because I had already seen the movie, but I didn't care about any of the characters. I felt like all they did was talk about the same things that are wrong with them over and over again. When I saw the movie I cried but when I read the book I just read faster, trying to finish it sooner. Also, I didn't really enjoy reading about 40 year olds in love. It may be because I'm a lot younger, but I just didn't care. I would have liked to read more about Adrienne's daughter and the husband she lost than Adrienne herself. It just lacked the chemistry and full-blown romance that I'm used to from Sparks. Nights In Rodanthe is probably Nicholas Sparks's worst book, but I know that I'll never stop reading his stuff. I've gone through his worst, so there are only good things to come from him!
    • 2/5
      Unrealistic. Poor plot.
    • 2/5
      This story unraveled a bit too quickly for my liking. It feels like it's over before it really began. I would have liked to see more character development, and more time for the feelings the characters develop for each other to really appear genuine. I felt like I was reading something that a teenage girl would have written about herself and her high school crush. A good beach novel if you just want something to read without having to think too much.
    • 5/5
      "Nights in Rodanthe" by Nicholas Sparks is the story of love lost and love found. Suffering from a divorce that has left her bitter Adrienne Willis agrees to watch over her friend's Inn. Trying to discover himself and close one chapter of his life on his way to mend fences with his son, Paul Flanner finds himself at the same in. Over the course of days, the course of their entire lives changes forever.Nicholas Sparks may have outdone himself with this story. I have read another of his books and seen movies based on his books but none of the stories have touched me as this one did. This is a beautiful love story. I will definately buy this book when I get the chance and I am sure I will re-read this book when I need a reminder that love is worth it a strength can be found in unexpected places.
    • 5/5
      Nights in Rodanthe is another love story by Nicholas Sparks. Adrienne Willis and Paul Flanner are the main characters in Nights in Rodanthe.Adrienne's husband abandons her for a younger woman and she is heartbroken over it. She is trying to figure out who she is now. Adrienne goes to Rodanthe to look after her friends Inn. Adrienne is hoping to have a relaxing time in Rodanthe except for the major storm that is forecasted. Paul is a doctor who has recently sold his medical practice so that he can go to Ecuador to be with his son and to hopefully repair their relationship.You can feel the spark between Paul and Adrienne as you read Nights in Rodanthe. With the nor'easter forecast Paul and Adrienne have to prepare the Inn to protect it from the storm. Paul and Adrienne whether the storm together and they get closer very close.I found myself able to relate to Adrienne in the aspect of having her husband leave her for a younger woman. I was able to understand Adrienne's emotions and her behavior. This made Nights in Rodanthe a pleasure to read.
    • 4/5
      Book is better than the movie. Duh, aren't they always.
    • 4/5
      This is a very good book, even better than the movie. It is very sad and tragic, but simultaniously extremely romantic. Nobody wants to believe that their parents have a life and identity that they know nothing about, full of experiences and feelings that could not even be guessed at. This book reminds us of that. I really enjoyed it and the story it told.
    • 4/5
      this book is well worth reading for the simplicity and beauty of the story. sparks is always great at telling a love story that makes you feel good while you cry and this short book makes for a good one or two night read. its a bittersweet tale of the healing power of love, even under unfortunate or unexpected circumstances, and i'm guessing that this is a story that will resonate for many in their own lives. the story has no real surprises and reads almost exactly as you'd expect it, which i think, makes the success of the story even more profound. the imagery is stark and simple, painting a clear picture of the story as it unfolds.i'll leave the story line to the reading, but bring some tissue.
    • 5/5
      I am a sucker for Nicholas Sparks' love tales. He has a with grabbing the reader from page one and carrying them day and night (no sleep) until that book is finished. I am an avid fan of reading a book before I will come close to watching a movie, and thank God that I did this, because compared to the book, the movie reeked. Wonderful storyline, characters, and writing style, as usual. Two thumbs up!! I recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good love story.
    • 3/5
      A friend let me borrow "Nights in Rodanthe" but said the book was better than the movie (isn't that always the case?). This is a very Sparks formula book but with a very good sense of place. It made me go online and read more about Rodanthe and Sparks description was dead-on accurate. I always find that when a writer starts the storytelling where you know how it will end...the journey in discovery is a different experience than when the ending is unknown. I much prefer the second technique.
    • 4/5
      NIghts In Rodanthe takes place in a small southern town, in the life of a middle-aged woman- Adrienne. Adrienne's husband left her for a younger woman and years later, she's keeping after her friend's inn for the weekend. Only one man is checked in to stay and over time, they both realize things of their past are quite similar. Will their quick friendship turn into anything more, or will they both become each other's best friends? What happens when the man leaves the inn and goes on to visit his son in a different country? Will Adrienne learn to trust men again, or will he upset her more? Overall, this book is one that's hard to put down. Albeit, it's audience leans more towards middle-aged or elder readers rather teens.
    • 3/5
      I became a devotee of Nicholas Sparks books after I read The Notebook and Message in a Bottle, but nothing has measured up since then. A pleasant, quick read though.
    • 5/5
      This book was really good. it was really sad but i enjoyed it. His books are all kind of similar but this one was very easy to read. i would recommend this to anyone who enjoys his books.
    • 4/5
      I'm not a fan of this genre, but my wife owns the book and wanted to see the movie. I read 'The Notebook' in advance and found I could appreciate it, so I tried this. Nicholas Sparks is all tell and no show in his writing style, which drives me nuts, but he did manage to take me in with this story after the first few somewhat confusing chapters. I do respect that he doesn't entirely subscribe to the typical Harlequin template, and there's a ring of truth behind the central message of appreciating the magic of true love and what that experience can do for you, while it lasts and for however long.
    • 4/5
      This was definitely an easy read. I finished it in less than three hours. There's no depth of writing here; it's very straightforward. If it weren't for the fact that it's a subject matter that strikes close to home for anyone who has loved, much less loved and lost permanently, this wouldn't be a great book. However, the subject matter strikes a chord, and that's what saves this book from being less than average. It was enough to make even me tear up, and I'm known for being cold-hearted.
    • 5/5
      This book was about a man that stayed at a womans hotel. When a hurricane came they were locked in the house together for a long while. They learned to love each other, and there relationship only grew stronger. It's an amazing book about love, relationships and trust.
    • 3/5
      a romance between Adrienne (divorced) and Paul (divorced). They meet one weekend while Adrienne is looking after an inn for her friend. Paul has reservations so he can speak with a former patient's husband. Predictable. Not that uplifting. Wonder what the movie will be like?
    • 2/5
      This is probably my least favorite of all of Nicholas Sparks books. It could simply be because Michael sometimes reminded me of my ex-husband which made it difficult for me to like him..ha ha. I still plan to see the movie simply because it is a Nicholas Sparks story.
    • 2/5
      I always love the way this author writes but the storyline was bogus and unbelievable. I didn't think the love between the characters was captured here. I didn't relate or feel their passion through the pages. I was very disappointed with this novel.
    • 4/5
      nicholas sparks is always coming up with awesome love stoies...I love this one
    • 4/5
      Sparks is a very good writter. And this book is well written and short. But so far it has been my least favorite of all his books. With this, his latest love story, he tells us the story of two shattered people. Both sadly scarred by past experiences. Who find each other late in life and realize they are soul mates.
    • 4/5
      Another one of your average love stories.
    • 3/5
      Treacly, unrealistic, over the top romance -- typical Sparks stuff. His fans will love it. The rest of us will risk permanent injury from the eye-rolling at the unlikely, idealized tale of two lonely people turning their lives around in just a few days, only to spend the rest of their lives (long for her, short for him) pining away for each other.

      Inhaltsangabe:Adrienne lädt ihre Tochter Amanda zu einem Mutter-Tochter-Gespräch ein. Amanda trauert seit 8 Monaten um ihren Mann Brent, der wegen einer Krankheit starb. Adriennes Herz zerbricht, wenn sie sieht, wie Amanda sich und ihre beiden Söhne vernachlässigt.Das Mutter-Tochter-Gespräch wird für beide Frauen aufwühlend. Adrienne erzählt von Paul, den sie in Rodanthe kennen lernte – vor 15 Jahren! Sie sollte für ihre Freundin die Pension hüten, denn es hatte sich ein Gast angemeldet: Paul. Dieser ist nur auf der Durchreise und macht in Rodanthe ein paar Tage Rast, um einem Treffen nachzukommen.Adrienne und Paul wappnen sich gemeinsam gegen den angekündigten Sturm und erleben dabei ein paar schöne Tage voller Liebe, Magie und des Zaubers.Doch Paul muß bald weiter, zu seinem Sohn, den er kaum kennt und Adrienne muß ebenfalls zurück in ihre Realität zu ihren drei Kindern. Doch sie versprechen einander, sich in einem Jahr wieder zu sehen. Der Grund, warum Adrienne ihrer Tochter diese Geschichte erzählt, wird bald klar.Mein Fazit:Voller Gefühl und mit einfachen Worten beschreibt Nicholas Sparks diese Liebesgeschichte. Er verzichtet auf viele Details und das scheint irgendwie magisch bei ihm zu sein. Auch wenn man bald ahnt, was geschehen ist, so will man nicht eine einzige Zeile von diesem Roman versäumen.Ein ergreifendes Buch für einen langen Winterabend auf der Couch.Anmerkung: Die Rezension stammt aus September 2004.Veröffentlicht am 04.08.15!
