Ilustration In Favor Of Books Three Weeks With My Brother

The day the brochure came was a typical one. With a wife and five small children, a hectic schedule, and a new book due to his publishers, Nicholas Sparks was busy with his usual routine. The colorful mailer, however, described something very different: a tour to some of the most exotic places on Earth. Slowly, an idea took hold in Nicholas's mind and heart. In January 2003, Nicholas Sparks and his brother, Micah, set off on a three-week trip around the globe. It was to mark a milestone in their lives, for at thirty-seven and thirty-eight respectively, they were now the only surviving members of their family. And as they voyaged to the lost city of Machu Picchu high in the Andes. . . to mysterious Easter Island. . . to Ayers Rock in the Australian outback. . . and across the vast Indian subcontinent, the ultimate story of their lives would unfold. Against the backdrop of the wonders of the world and often overtaken by their feelings, daredevil Micah and the more serious, introspective Nicholas recalled their rambunctious childhood adventures and the tragedies that tested their faith. And in the process, they discovered startling truths about loss, love and hope. Narrated with irrepressible humor and rare candor, and including personal photographs, Three Weeks with my Brother reminds us to embrace life with all its uncertainties. . . and most of all, to cherish the joyful times, both small and momentous, and the wonderful people who make them possible.

Crit About Books Three Weeks With My Brother

This book for me had me going from laughter to melancholy, from sad and upset but overall I enjoyed this book and I can highly recommend it.It covers 3 weeks wheree nick and his big brother Micah go on a group trip around the world, visiting among other places as lalibela,Ethiopia, machu picchu, the temples of Cambodia, the inka pyrimids, Easter islands and other places like that. In between he writes about his life growing up and all the strains and loss that he and Micah had to cope with.After

Moving and inspirational, and more revealing than any interview. If you really want to know the person behind the romance novels he's written and a fan of Mr. sparks, you gotta read this one.

I learned that:Life is not fair...God works all things out in the end, even if to us it doesn't seem right....A family must stay together through it all....NO MATTER WHAT!Noone is perfect...we should try looking at ourselves first..Investing in your children and their future is priceless...We all must get away sometimes to sort through our bag of trash and emotions that we have picked up along life's journey....A man and wife are truly a team and I need to figure out how to have that kind of

This one's specifically for John: look I know you don't respect Nicholas Sparks, but you've got to admit that if someone presented you with the opportunity to make millions upon millions of dollars by writing books you'd probably take it, even if all you could write were romance novels. Nevertheless, this book has absolutely nothing to do with The Notebook or Message in a Bottle and I guarantee if you read it, you will appreciate it. So do it, just like I read Game of Thrones for you.

I wasn't reviewing when I read this! Loved it. Obviously they are in a position of privilege, but the moral themes discussed I enjoyed.

Well, I read half of it, put it down to sleep then didn't pick it up again for a few weeks. Usually a bad sign, but not really in this case. It wasn't a riveting read, but it was very well-constructed. Went back and forth between the present world-spanning trip and memories of the past, but in a way that seemed fairly natural instead of forced. Made me want to check out another Spark's book to see how his fiction reads.

I mostly enjoyed the book. I think his intent was to be uplifting, but I was a little depressed after reading it. It was a story of endurance through tragedy. I was born around the same time as the author. I too grew up "poor" while my dad earned his master's and doctorate. It does seem unusual that the author lost so many of his family members so young. None of my immediately family has passed-away. Now I see why he puts a tragedy in each of his books.
