Boom Boom Books!

Nicholas Sparks.
Great author whose known for his many soft romance novels. Predictable endings, though he is a good author. I do enjoy his endings very much, and despite what this blog portrays, I can't help but feel that no other ending should be in place. But, they're too predictable (repetition makes for a better argument). No matter how hard he may try to build suspense in the story line, I will always know that in the end, Guy and Girl will marry and live together forever. Except for A Walk To Remember. However, even than, Landon married Jamie before. . .I can't spoil the end for those of you neanderthals who haven't read it yet(even though, in a sense, I just did =O ).

Jodi Picoult.
Grrrrrreat author whose specialty is hardcore novels relating to law. Unlike with Nicholas Sparks, I type in multiple r's in the word great because she's just that much more great with writing. I mean, have you read her books? I know you read at least My Sister's Keeper. And if you've read that, than you know that she's the master of surprise endings. You would never, ever see it coming no matter how many times you look back for clues. You would've never guessed that Chris did pull the trigger, that Sarah Fisher was a witness to Katie giving birth out of wedlock, Anna dies in the end after winning her case, that Josie was the one to kill her boyfriend, even if accidentally, and the list can just go on and on. You can never go wrong in picking a Jodi Picoult novel.

There you have it, two of the many authors I am very fond of. Their areas of expertise couldn't be anymore different which is exactly what keeps my bookshelf from becoming a monotony.
