Nicholas Sparks

Nicholas Sparks is an American romantic novelist, who bases most of his stories and plot lines on true events. People all over the world have praised him for his insight and depth of his characters, particularly his female characters. Many women look up to him because he understands the female mind, while being of the straight male species. Men say they don’t like his work because he’s too much of a girl with all the lovey dovey stuff he writes; which is very judgmental and misleading.

Even though he was born and raised in Omaha Nebraska, Nicholas bases all of his books settings in North or South Carolina, which is where he currently lives. Not all of his books are in the mind of a women however. He also tends to write about the mind of the sensitive and down to earth kind of man. That’s why women love his work so much. They find romance and long lost love within the pages of his books. Fairytales and happy endings rarely ever happen in the real world, so women use his books as a sort of safe haven, ironically because one of his best sellers is Safe Haven. Girls love the idea of finding the perfect guy and being swept off their feet. His female characters in his books also feel the same way. In many, but not all, of his books he tends to write the female characters as believing in love as a lost cause. He does this because he wants to relate to his main targeted audience; women. Many women feel as if all hope in finding love is lost, and he’s here to tell these women that love is all around you. You just have to wait and see what’s in stored for you.

If men in today’s society would only realize that if they want to get a girl, be romantic! Nicholas Sparks may be more in touch with his feminine side, but look at his life. He has a lot going for him. Women love him and what he writes down on the page. Men should really be taking notes and studying how he does it, rather than saying he’s a gay romantic novelist that’s not worth their time.
