Query: The Guardian - Predictable and Disappointing

I am an avid Nicholas Sparks reader, so I was overjoyed when his latest book the Guardian was released. I ordered it through Amazon and could hardly wait for it to arrive. Then I read the book. Normally I am unable to put one of his books down, but this one was easy to part with. The story was predictable, the end was disappointing and the characters were very simple. While I enjoyed the love story element between the main characters, and I LOVED the dog, it was really difficult to get into overall. It was okay, but it didn't meet my expectations for a Sparks novel. It seemed more like a script for a movie then anything else. I am looking forwad to his next book, hopefully he'll shy away from the thriller elements and stick to what he does best.
