Dear John is written by Nicholas Sparks. It is not as good as I expected, not that impressive or touching as the praise and compliments recommended on the book review. Some critic said it had tremendous emotional depth, oh my god, it was going too far. What caught my eye mostly is not the love story between John and Savannah, it is the relationship between John and his father. His father has Asperger, which means developmental disorder. In other words, he was like rain man, remember that movie?! But the difference is his situation is relatively miner, which enable him to have been married once, raise his child on his own and obtain a steady job. But the bad side is his inexistent social life and only can talk about coins. John always want to have normal father like others, who can share idea and thoughts, patting his back to encourage and push him going forward. John also is eager to have some normal conversation with his father apart from coins. Finally, when he discovered the fact that the only way to attach with his dad is through coins which is revealed by Savannah who is majored in special education. Though the fact is harsh and unbearable, John did improve his relationship with his father and move long pretty well. He became more understanding about his father’s love for him. I don’t know what to say about it, this part looks like kind of something stuck in the throat. Life is not always perfect, we have to admit something there we cannot change. Maybe love is on so many level, once you know they have try their best, you should just take it instead of asking for the same as others. I have not finished the whole book yet, but I have a peek over the ending which is not a happy one. However, as we all know, the most touching and memorable thing always contains sorrow and sad.
