Reading | Dear John - Nicholas Sparks I have started reading the novel today and just finished the first chapter. This is the first time I read Sparks' novel in English, not that I have ever read one in Vietnamese before. His writting, which does not have so many complex grammar structure and strange vocabulary (for me), is pretty easy to understand. However, unlike in the novel, Savannah - the main female character - was described as a brunette, a completely contrary picture to Amanda Seyfried in the movie. Well, this is not really a matter, but I guess the movie wouldn't got much attention if it wasn't Amanda ^^
