It's strange, I think, the way our lives turn out. Moments of circumstance, when later combined with conscious decisions and actions and a boatload of hope, can eventually forge a future that seems predestined.” I kept on asking this question, "How will Ira story connect to Luke and Sophia?" Fortunately, that was answered by the end of the book. It was a great little twist, although I think I kind of expected it BUT still reading that ANNOUNCEMENT gave me goosebumbs.

For me it was a good book, I will not say it was great because I have to be honest it was not. There were more books from this author that was better than this one. Am a disappointed? Maybe a little. I am a big fan of Nicholas Sparks, that whenever a new book was coming out, I get so excited about it. I even watched every film adaptations of his book. Maybe I'm just expecting more from him this time, more beautiful and touching stories that we all love. Chaplin is the “sole younger actor to pop here; playing theonly one of the youthful characters with any boldness or inclination to speak her own mind,” while Alda“makes the canned sentimentality of his 91-year-oldcharacter go down quite easily as he comments to Sophia about thevicissitudes of his life.” The film’s “settings and compositions are picture-postcard, the score syrupy,the bull-riding coverage not entirely convincing, the sentimentscliched and reassuring. But, boy oh boy, the ending! In Sparks’ world,when happiness rains, it pours.” Yamato, Jen (May 5, 2014). "Britt Robertson Boards Nicholas Sparks Romance 'The Longest Ride' ". Deadline Hollywood .

I know I'm not going to be able to change the world, but I think it's important to try to make a difference” There’s a lot of us out there looking for that perfect one who’ll salvage the vacuum that life has created in our hearts and souls. Sounds corny and somewhat unempowered, but most of us, through the blessing that is popular media, have been conditioned to believe that finding your soulmate is the final step to leading a happy life.I’ve had a long reading relationship with Nicholas Sparks, and the best way I can describe it is unpredictable. Going into his each of his books, I never doubt he has a good story to tell. However, that story is not always for me. It unusually ends in one of two ways… I either hate it or love it. My most recent experiences have fallen a bit short, so going into The Longest Ride it’s no surprise that I was skeptical. With the movie being right around the corner, and the trailers seeming to be appealing, as I’ve said before, I can’t in good-book faith see the movie without reading the book first. Ira Levinson, ninety-one years old and already in poor health, is just holding on; remaining alert only because his wife Ruth, who has died, appears as an image to help him remember their life together: how they met, the paintings they collected and the dark days of World War II.

You made me happy and you made me laugh, and if I could do it all over again, I would not hesitate. Look at our life, at the trips we took, the adventures we had. As your father used to say, we shared the longest ride together, this thing called life, and mine has been filled with joy because of you.”As Ira’s story went on, weaving in with the present story of Luke and Sophia’s, I wondered how in the world Sparks was going to connect these three characters. How their stories would intertwine. I loved the way they did finally cross. It made the end that much more special and beautiful. There were tears flowing when I finished this one. Do I like it? Not really. My problem os the the length of the book. Too long. It got boring, to be honest. Professional Bull Riders - Professional Bull Riders star bull Rango passes away". September 16, 2014 .
