Book Reviews of Three Weeks With My Brother

I enjoyed the way the author intersperses often hilarious stories of his family from the '60s and '70s throughout this three week trip with his brother as they go around the world. This is not one of Sparks romance novels; it's a memoir about how he and his brother come to terms with themselves and each other. It's lighthearted yet touches on some buried emotions both brothers confront in their travels as memories resurface. I enjoyed the travel stories, the honest emotion, and Sparks ability to look at himself not always in a flattering light. This is real.

i thoroughly enjoyed this book. i've read everything by nicholas sparks and generally really like his novels. it was great to read about his childhood and gain some additional insight into his books. for me, the chapters about the trip were almost secondary to the childhood flashbacks, but he managed to interweave the two timelines so that it all made sense. highly recommend!

An excellent book. What happens if you travel around the world with your big brother and all of the experiences they have. They flashback on the way the boys were raised and how that experience helped make them what they are today. A must read!

Not a Nicholas Sparks fan, but actually enjoyed this one.

Fantastic story of a journey with brothers Nicholas and Micah Sparks. All about Nicholas growing up and becoming a writer. If you like Nicholas Sparks this book you cannot miss

I LOVED this book about Nicholas Sparks growing up, a 3 week trip around the world with his older brother, and they many heart aches and hardships they lived through. I laughed, cried, and laughed until I cried reading this book. My husband and I were lucky enough to attend a book signing (nope, I'm not giving away that one) with Nicholas and Micha. These two gentlemen, brothers, are exceptional people and very funny.

Very interesting book! I was very surprised to read about Mr. Spark's unusual childhood and many family tragedies, but his ability to rise above his circumstances is inspirational!

Loved this book. It is a good look at relationships.

Nicholas Sparks uses a three week tour with his brother as a way to present and work through his own autobiography. The tears come so easily reading his fiction because they come from his own emotions. Family relationships are the most important thing in his life and trying to "balance" is an ongoing struggle. Sparks uses his writing to resolve things in his life, and uses his life to enhance his writing. I recommend this fast read when you want a laugh, a cry, and maybe some introspection into your own relationships.

Oh my goodness, this book was better than I thought it would be. The author did a great job with this book, and his brother helped too.
I cried at some spots and laughed at others.
It made me appreciate my brother more.

Excellent book.

Such a great book. If you've read any of his novels, this book takes you through his life while he was writing some of them. It's an insiders view of the trials and triumphs of Nicholas Sparks' life.

This non-fiction recap is sort of a odyssey for Nick & Micah Sparks. The two brothers take a 3-week trip around the world and reminisce about their family, their losses, consider their current state of mind, what the future holds, God and their own personal revelations.

**In January 2003 Nicholas and his brother Micah set off on a three week trip around the globe. In the process they discover startling truths about loss, love and hope.

This was an interesting book. Not usually the kind that I would have chosen. It starts off with the brothers planning the trip and follows through thier trip around the globe. It gives the reader background on the kind of lives they had as children and how they are handling crisis as adults. It is a heart warming story about the power of faith and love. And about never forgetting who you are and why you are doing what you are doing in your life. I was very moved by the story. The writing was clear and the places they traveled were discussed so you felt like you could almost feel you were there. I recommend this book to anyone looking for that special kind of read that is a feel good style book.

I thought this one was wonderful. Nicholas Sparks is such a gifted writer. I can spend a whole day with his books.

Fascinating memoir of Nicholas and Micah Sparks and their journey in a trip around the world. If you are a Sparks fan, it allows you to see what is important to him in his personal life and why. It also gives you great background on his fictional work.

As usual with Nicholas Sparks' books, this memoir made me laugh and cry. There were so many similarities in his childhood and mine, so it made his story even more enjoyable.

Great Read!!!! More autobiography then I expected but WOW it was enlightening. Helps me understand and appreciate Sparks' other works.

Wonderful account of a trip author Nicholas Sparks took around the world with his brother. The book weaves the story of the trip with the history of the brother's family. A touching story and a good read.

great book, you will cry and you will laugh out loud.

Narrated with irrepressible humor and rare candor, and including personal photos, Three Weeks With My Brother reminds us to embrace life with all its uncertainties...and most of all, to cherish the joyful times, both small and momentous, and the wonderful people who make them possible.

excellent - funny and moving. I found this much better to read and get into than his novels.

excellent book

All writers should write a book like this.
I like the author more after reading this.

Nicholas and Micah Sparks' adventures as they take a three week trip around the globe. Includes personal photos.

I was amazing how well I relaed to most of the stories Nicholas tells of his childhood. An excellent read.

A little slow in the begining but I gave it a chance and ended up truly enjoying it. Nice story about family bonds.

NY Times besteller author abandons wife and kids for high-dollar glamour tour around the world with his brother. An upper-class mid-life crisis Bildungsroman.

This is an inspiring look at how Nicholas Sparks' life has evolved and the role his family has played in him becoming a best selling author. (Get a box of tissues before you begin.)

"...embrace life with all of its uncertainties ... and most of all...cherish the joyful times, both samll and momentous and the wonderful people who make them possible
