The Lucky One- Thibault

I have read two chapters told from Thibault, and his story is pretty strange.  He has mentioned how he was a part of the Marine Corps for a while where he became close with two members on his squad.  You could tell that he cared about them, even thoigh they were all so different.  During his service he discovered a picture of a woman with a small note on the back, and he hangs it up but when no one claims it, he keeps it.  After his service is done he decides to search for this woman.  Honestly i think it is very weird that he doesnt know this woman yet travels the country looking for her.  If some hippie showed up at my door with a photo of me and told me that he has been searching for me, id be pretty creeped out.
  However, as creepy as it is he clearly will not rest until he finds her which reveals a lot about his character.  He is a determined man who continue to think of ways to find this woman.  To other people he is strange in weird, but i know he has a story and i like how he doesnt give up.

The Lucky One- predictions

I just began reading 'The Lucky One' by Nicholas Sparks.  I am only on chapter three, but so far a lot is going on.  Each chapter is told from a different character's perspective, and they all have different stories.  One is a cop who does some things a cop shouldn't do, and there is a hippie who has walked across most of the country in search of someone he has never known, and then there is a divorced mother who just wants the best for her son and nana.  Obviously these characters are very different yet i think something will bring them together at some point, maybe some type of problem.  I have always liked Nicholas Sparks books, so I know that i will enjoy this.  I like how the characters are being dscribed and portrayed, and i think these things help the reader to imagine and predict what the characters may be like.  This story will probably turn in to a complicated or tragic love story, from my experience reading Sparks books that is a pretty accurate prediction.  I definetly think I will enjoy this book!
