Nicholas Sparks recommended Casablanca (1942) in Movies (curated)

 
Casablanca (1942)
Casablanca (1942)
1942 | Drama, Romance, War

"This movie is the best example of the theme “if you love someone, sometimes you have to let them go.” This guy [Rick], he has fallen in love with this woman, and he can’t get over her. She comes back, and she’s married to this freedom fighter, someone that the Nazis are hunting. If he doesn’t give her these two plane tickets, he gets the girl, because the Nazis will find this guy. If he gives her the tickets, her husband is saved and he’ll never see her again. Boy, what a choice. Love often confronts us with some choices that are the toughest things of all. They include compromise and at times, sacrifice. And to me, Casablanca did that phenomenally well."

I request this book on netgalley and was kindly sent a PDF version. Ohhhh my days! I love this story seriously I have fallen for it. Absolutely head over heels! If you are an Alice in wonderland fan or just a Disney fan you NEED this book in your life! It is completely different from Alice in wonderland and follows a different plot line and that in itself makes it refreshing and something new. New characters pop up through out which had me squealing in delight despite the fact I am 25 and should not be squealing but I did anyway! I really did love this book, and I feel like it's one I shall be re reading time and time again.
  
It's official. I have fallen in love with Sicarius.

As fun as it was being inside Maldynado's head--and it was hilarious at times--with his "spelunking" comment in regards to Yara. If you've read the book you'll know the comment I'm referring to, if not then you should totally find out. Like I said before: hilarious.

I have to confess I was more interested in the Amaranthe and Sicarius situation. He melted me into a puddle of goo again in this one and I'm eagerly awaiting more of them.

The next book is based on him and I cant wait to read what goes on in his head when he goes into his silent mode or gives people his icy stare. Off to buy it now!
