Book Review: The Longest Ride

"You are not selfish," she says to me. "You are the least selfish man I have ever known."
Ninety-one-year old Ira Levinson is in trouble. Struggling to stay conscious after a car crash, with his mind fading, an image of his adored - and long-dead - wife Ruth appears. Urging him to hang on, she lovingly recounts the joys and sorrows of their together: how they met, the dark days of WWII and its unrelenting effect on their families. A few miles away, college student Sophia Danko's life is about to change. Recovering from a break-up, she meets the young, rugged Luke and is thrown into a world far removed from her privileged school life. Sophia sees a new and tantalizing future for herself, but Luke is keeping a secret that could destroy it all. Ira and Ruth. Sophia and Luke. Two couples, separated by years and experience, whose lives are about to converge in the most unexpected -and shocking of ways.

The Longest Ride is a love story of two intertwined tales. In a fast paced and gripping writing style Nicholas Sparks presents yet another extraordinary fiction in the genre. The books runs over a considerable length but the author succeeds in maintaining the pace and drama with ease. A predictable yet interesting and sentimental novel, The Longest Ride should appeal to the readers interested in the genre.
