Years ago, i saw a trailer of '
A Walk to Remember' on the TV and watched the movie with my sister, never expecting it to be a tear-jerking one. Mandy Moore's character even said something about believing in miracles so i thought that maybe she'd survive in the end and let myself be captured by the wonder that is this movie. What i did not expect though was her dying and leaving my sis and i speechless. I love the movie now (i didn't years ago cuz it mad me sad, what can you expect from a barely 13 year old girl who believed in fairy tales???) but my sis still don't.
Then, the next movie that i thought was real nice was
the Last Song and really liked it. Especially Miley Cyrus who played the character real well, i was gripped from the beginning.
Then recently, i saw the trailer of
The Lucky One starring Zac Efron and i was intrigued. I loved the idea of finding this girl you barely know and see how things go from there. It's just so interesting. So after much contemplation, i bought the book and only realised then that it was by Nicholas Sparks. I've long ago heard the name and i know he's widely known but i never bothered to check him out on the internet. Ergo, i did.
Wikipedia and he's official website was my main source of information. I was surprised really! He wrote
A walk to remember and
the last song. Both one of my fav movies. I was speechless at the fact that most of the books he wrote are made into movies, i was astounded by the fact that even his latest book is in the process of turning into a movie. Then i saw in his acknowledgements that he said he still loves his wife the way he did before he proposed and the whole time, i was thinking
awwwwwwww........ and turned to my sis,
'I wish i'm his wife!'
He and his wife donated near to 10million to start a private school and so many other charitable work. I can't even imagine how much he earns! So since i cannot imagine, i checked the net.
How much is Nicholas Sparks worth? less than a millisecond later with 1,950,000 results and clicking on the first hyperlink,
30 Million.
OMG
