I don’t recall ever associating the quality of being ‘‘humane’’ to a book before, but here I am doing just that for ‘‘The Longest Ride.’’Oct 06, 2013

I just finished this not too long ago and of course, like all of Nicholas Sparks' books - I loved it. I really enjoyed both love stories and the way in which each were told, how one showed a lifetime of love and the other the beginning of love. It did feel like two completely different stories and I had no idea how their stories would intertwine although I had my predictions but loved how they eventually came together. It's such a beautiful story <3May 14, 2013
The Longest Ride is one of the most beautiful books I have read in a very long time and has earned every one if not more of the five stars I awarded it. It is the love story of two very different couples in North Carolina whose lives seemingly have nothing in common with one another.Mar 29, 2015

Throughout this book, I was very present. Two different stories seemed to unfold, each alternating almost chapter by chapter. One storyline involves a young woman who attending college in North Carolina for her last two years. By chance she meets a young man who came to her rescue near the edge of campus. He was driving back from a tournament because he rides bulls for a living. Not only is he good at what he does, he seems like a really decent, smart guy.

The second, seemingly unrelated storyline is about an elderly man whose car accidentally slid off the highway someplace in N.C. during a snowstorm and is stuck. The man is unable to move due to some likely broken bones. His chapters involve his thoughts. These are very moving; he vividly thinks about his beloved wife who passed away several years ago.Mar 18, 2014
Mr. Sparks, I love to cosy up at home and read your romantic and inspiring novels from time to time, but this book was indeed an incredibly LONG and BORING ride. A complete disappointment.Sep 18, 2013
This book wasn't quite what I had expected, it started out feeling very much like The Notebook but it didn't live up to that standard. Overall I enjoyed this book, not my favourite Nicholas Sparks book, but then again, not the worst!Dec 07, 2015
Enjoyed this way more than The ChoiceApr 10, 2014
I'm sorry but this has to be one of the stupidest books I've read. Yes, I've already mentioned in past reviews that I'm not really a fan of Sparks' work.Mar 02, 2015
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 I’ve had a long reading relationship with Nicholas Sparks, and the best way I can describe it is unpredictable.

It’s no secret I am a fan of the novels of Nicholas Sparks. His characters and the way he writes suck me into the story every time. I like that he writes about true and lasting love. I wondered how different it might be this time, as this was the first time I had seen the movie before reading the book. Would that spoil it a little for me? No, I enjoyed the movie. But I adored the book.Sep 27, 2013
At one point I would have given this book 5 stars based on the love story and the depth of the relationships. However, the resolution is a story that has been circulating the internet for years, and I felt cheated! I felt like this wonderful love story was no longer "original". Yes, it was a nice way to neatly tie the two storylines together and have a "tear inducing" ending (if you didn't already know the ending!), but Sparks basically lifted this ending from an email short story!

Why would a talented author need to do this? I admit, I became very let down that there was no originality here. Even without the copied ending from a email that circulates the internet (of all things! and I know that I have received this email SEVERAL times!), it is a very, very predictable story!! That said, Sparks is truly the only one who can write well enough that the romance is believable and enjoyable. You truly begin to care for your characters. I did think however, that he could somehow tie the ART MAJOR Sophia in with the collection of Ira's. Um..how about a real job working with Ira's collection or any other museum....a job that she earns as opposed to alluding to one that will be bought for her through a donation to a museum. ...moreMar 30, 2015
I don't readily admit to the fact that I have read all of Nicholas Sparks books. I don't know what I would answer if someone ask me "why". It's just a path I got started on and now it seems a shame to stop it. They are entertaining and well wriitten for the most part, although I have been frustrated at times for his habit of "killing off" his key characters.May 25, 2013

I have read books by Nicholas Sparks before, I have even loved books by Nicholas Sparks before but this one ... IT WAS THE LONGEST RIDE INDEED. . To me this just felt like Nicholas Sparks had this two not-yet-great ideas about two completely different love stories and he was like "You know what, Im just going to put this two together in a book and then find a way to make them connect, yup, that will work." But, gosh to me, it didn't work.Sep 18, 2013
I’m a huge fan of Nicholas Sparks and his novels, I’ve read every single book of his and truly treasured them, and so I was very excited about his latest release The Longest Ride.Oct 31, 2016
I don't like audio books, and was surprised how long this was. I'm not a Sparks fan either but quickly downloaded this (highly rated ??) one as we went out the door on a 10 hour road trip. Seeing my Grandkids was awesome, and my husband is a saint for listening with me, and driving in the worst rainstorm I've ever been in. Luckily we had several great football games to listen to on the return trip and even though my team lost, football was much preferred. 2 starsMar 25, 2015
