From Megan Romer, your About Books & Literature Editor
Jodi Picoult tends to spark love/hate reactions among the reading public. Nicholas Sparks, though, always seems to elicit a different sort of split: people either loooooooooooooooove his books or are relatively indifferent toward them. I read (and saw) The Notebook, and didn't quite get the hype, though didn't find it entirely unenjoyable, either. My beloved sister, on the other hand, looooooooooooooooooooooved the book and the movie and suspects that I may, in fact, have no soul.

'The Lucky One' Movie Review
The Lucky One, which hit theaters on Friday, is based on Nicholas Sparks' 2008 release of the same name. I'll ruin the surprise for you just a smidge: if you liked other Sparks-based movies, you'll probably like this one. If you didn't? Read on for a chuckle.

Nicholas Sparks Biography
Who is this Nicholas Sparks fellow, anyway? Well, for one thing, he's much cuter than I thought he would be. Also, a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, so I should probably avoid making snarky comments about him in the future.
