Over all it was a great read. As the name entails, for anyone who has any sort of military background, the reader should already know what to expect. If you don't know what that refers to ask as soldier what a Dear John letter is, the book isn't titled that because the main character is named John.
Dear John examines what it really means to love someone. Love is not always about weddings, and children, and white picket fences. Love is about sacrifice,hardship, and tough decisions.
Don't expect everything to be ok in the end, this book exemplifies real life and in real life no one is happy all the time and though the boy always gets the girl it doesn't mean it's the right boy or right girl. Statistically most American's marry but many of those our for reason other then soul mate, type true love.
Dear John is divided into three parts. The beginning, the middle, and the end. I know it seems cliche but that is the truth. The beginning reads at a fast pace, you get drawn in, you want to be the girl and the boy. The middle you start to see real life starting to take place. People fight and make up. Bad things happen. By the end you the book starts to drag, you just want it to be over. By then you have guessed what is coming and you don't understand why they can't just say it.
The moral of the story. Love means making that person happy even if it means hurting yourself in the process. Do you love someone that way? Do you know someone who is that unselfish that they could sacrifice their happiness for the sake of the one they love?
Read Dear John and find the answer to what it really means to love someone unconditionally.
