Query: A real tear-jerker!

This is the first book I read by Nicholas Sparks. I was immediately drawn in by Landon's folksy, slightly humorous narrative, and although the ending was fairly predictable from the start, the simply eloquence of Landon's slow evolution throughout the story kept me reading every word. I finished the book in one sitting, grateful I had tissue on hand at the end.
