Query: Real action in a Sparks book!

I had previously read 6 of Sparks books and found this one different in that it goes beyond the usual page turning mushy romance tale in Spark's book in adding danger and intrigue to the story.The plot line, though predictable especially if you can make it past the slow first 100 pages, is still riveting with many good if stereotypical supporting characters. The second half of the novel is a real page turner almost impossible to put down.Sparks does a better job of developing his male lead characters than his female ones- his women are too perfect with no real personality flaws. They often seem like the same character, just slightly different ages or with a different life experience. Dog lovers will relate to Julie's pet, "Singer" who's instincts seem to be better than Julie's (dogs are always portrayed as smarter than people in animal stories.)
