A nonfiction book that reads like fiction

1. A great book for all N. Sparks fans. Those who are not familiar with N. Sparks will subsequently want to read his other books. 2. A definite 5 stars for this book. Read it and appreciate life.

Beautiful book!

I read this book at a time in my life when I was feeling pretty low. My mother had recently died and I was overwhelmed with that experience. This book showed me that my struggles were so insignificant to the struggles that some other people have. This book grounded me, gave me hope and inspired...

A fun journey

I was initially turned on to Nicholas Sparks because my girlfriend told me that I have a similar writing style as him, which naturally piqued my curiosity. I picked up one of her many copies of his books and started reading Three Weeks w/ my Brother. You can imagine my surprise when noticing...

an emotional memoir

Having not read any of Nicholas Sparks' other work, but knowing from hearsay that his books are in the vein of romantic dramas and tragic tales, I was expecting something sappy.Well this book has its moments of sap, but it's not bad.This memoir, for one thing, is well written and easy to get...

Excellent!

I gave the book as a gift to the girlfriend of my son. She was so delighted and happy because she has been trying to find that book for a long time. I was glad that I made her happy. Thanks to Amazon! You can find things at Amazon.com that you dont find anywhere else.

Will not take three weeks to read!

Three Weeks with My BrotherI am not a fan of fiction, so when I found this memoir, I thought I'd give it a try. (I have never read Sparks' fiction works, though I have seen some of the movies.)The book was amusing at first--stories from his early childhood. I was suprised at the lack of...

Beautifully written, thoroughly enjoyable read

Not only is this story a memoir of the three-week trip around the world, it is an autobiography of their childhood. So many great humorous scenes - several I just had to read to my husband! I did not feel the detatchment to the parents as some readers described, but I got a clear picture of...

Just alright

I just finished this book this morning and I have to say it was just average. Having just come back from a trip with my own brother and being of similar age to the Sparks brothers, I connected with this book on some level, but not completly. For instance, they refer to each other as "Brother"...

Not a travelogue

Nicholas Sparks -- author of novels-turned-into-movies like "Notebook" and "Message in a Bottle" -- uses an around-the-world trip with brother Michah Sparks as the catalyst for this autobiographical work. It is largely about pain, ranging from Nicholas' pain over feelings of emotional neglect...

Warning

Warning. Don't read the front cover flap of this book. It is a plot buster. This book is for anyone who ever had a brother or sister or ever wanted one. It describes a trip around the world in three weeks to some of the oldest buildings on this planet. While it seems like they spent more time on...
