The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks Book Summary
A U.S. Marine's brush with death leads him to the love of his life in this New York Times bestseller of destiny, luck, and the redemptive power of romance.
After U.S. Marine Logan Thibault finds a photograph of a smiling young woman buried in the dirt during his tour of duty in Iraq, he experiences a sudden streak of luck -- winning poker games and even surviving deadly combat. Only his best friend, Victor, seems to have an explanation for his good fortune: the photograph -- his lucky charm.
Back home in Colorado, Thibault can't seem to get the woman in the photograph out of his mind and he sets out on a journey across the country to find her. But Thibault is caught off guard by the strong attraction he feels for the woman he encounters in North Carolina - Elizabeth, a divorced mother -- and he keeps the story of the photo, and his luck, a secret. As he and Elizabeth embark upon a passionate love affair, his secret soon threatens to tear them apart -- destroying not only their love, but also their lives.
Filled with tender romance and terrific suspense, THE LUCKY ONE is an unforgettable story about the surprising paths our lives often take and the power of fate to guide us to true and everlasting love.

The Lucky One. I have never been a book reader - only when I HAD to in school. I had been urged by many people to start pleasure reading. So, I finally did it. This was my first book and I have to say, it was great!! Nicholas Sparks is a great author. I will continue to read his books, as I have been told they are all good. I owe him a big "thank you" for making my first experience so enjoyable!!
Absolutely wonderful!. This was one of the best novels I have ever read. Amazing read! I recommend to everyone!
Awesome book!. The lucky one was great! Keeps reader involved from beginning to end! Love Nana and all her sayings throughout the book. Also Zeus is a true companion! Now that I read the book off to watch the movie!
Awesome. Intriguing! Nicholas Sparks never fails to keep the reader engaged!
The Lucky One. Storyline is becoming predictable...
Surprising. I'd read about a dozen other books before I finally finishing this one. Stopped and started it many times over a couple of months. Obviously, I didn't find it to be a page turner, but the ending still surprised me I guess it was worth it.
The lucky one. Waited the whole book for the story to get good but it never did. Three pages about making tacos and one paragraph about their first encounter. Predictable and boring- could have been such a better story.
Not his best but it’s pretty good!. I was wanting Logan to have a more direct purpose to Beth...
THE LUCKY ONE. I Have This Movie On DVD And I Cried, I Smiled, I Watched It Over And Over. Zac Efron Is In It And He Is A Very Gifted Actor, It’s About A Marine Who Finds A Woman’s Picture And It Kept Him Sade, Brought Him Home, So She Saved His Life, He Tracked Her Down To Thank Her, FellIn Love, Then They’re Love Journey Finally Began.
Wonderful characters. I loved this book!
Loved it!. This book was another great one by Nicholas Sparks! Read it in 24 hours because I could not put it down! It's not only about romance but about true friendship!
The lucky one. Really liked this book, think I'll go see the movie
The Lucky One. I loved this book. I couldn't put it down I read the whole book in one day. I know that sounds crazy, but it was that good. Well done!!!
loved it!!!!. really good book
Lucky. One of my fav books!!
The Lucky One. Another great book from Nicholas Sparks. I had trouble putting it down.
Love and Intrigue. Good love story with some mystery and intrigue built in. Would have preferred a different ending, but maybe it had to end this way. Worth the read.
Lucky in love<3. #1 most fav book of all times! Must read! Movie is amazing as well. Do urself a favor n purchase both right NOW!
The Lucky One. This book is a great book. I love that it goes from person to person. That they tell you the view from all of the people int he book. Great read!!!!!!!
Another True Sparks Novel. This novel has everything you would expect from a Nicholas Sparks novel. It's another tragic love story with pretty predictable outcomes. But we all know that going into one of these novels, and we read them anyway. We like the simple love story. We like the couple that overcomes adversity. This wasn't my favorite Sparks novel, but I enjoyed the military backstory of it all and who couldn't fall in love with Logan's dog?
Loved it. The movie is so good bd the book is as well.
😍😍😍😍. I love this book. I couldn't put it down. It is probably one of my favorites. Mr. Sparks you have done it again. 😍😍😍😍😍
Amazing. I absolutely could not put this down. I read from chapter 6 to the end of the book in one night. glad I read the book instead of watching the movie. I fell in love with the characters and was consumed by their stories
Speechless. Lucky one left me speechless!!
Terrible!!. One of the worst books I have ever read from Nicholas Sparks. Dragged on too much and the ending was too abrupt.
Great!!!. I was not able to put this book down, I wanted to try and figure out what would happen next. I cried at the end gasped on a few sections and smiled all the way through. I loved it!
The Lucky One.. Great book! Loved every minute of it. (:
The lucky one. Loved this book... Logan and Zeus were amazing characters!!
Love the story. This is a wonderful story of healing and of falling in love. You are drawn into the characters lives and find yourself hoping it will all work out. Good read!
Love. I absolute love this book I recommend everyone to read this soo amazing
Im in Love with N. Sparks!!. I started reading this as soon as i saw the commercial for the lucky one movie, when i first started reading it i was bored but i kept reading and it was magnificent!! This was my first Sparks book, and there will be more to come.. :) :)
Soooooooooo much better then the movie. Another great Nicolas sparks book <3
Wow.... I could barely put this book down. Another amazing novel.
Amazing!!!!. Kept me intrigued till the very end and was a beautiful story. I could barely put it down. One of the Best books i have read in years.
It's ok. I can't say I hate it but its its not my favorite one.
Great Book. Read this book and afterwards purchased the movie. Book was much better than the movie!! Enjoyed both though!!
The Lucky One. This book was absolutely fantastic! Though Zac Efron is a definite cutie, the book was better than book. Although, the book was better than the movie... until the very ending. The movie's ending was better than the book's, but I love them both so much! Thank you Nicholas Sparks for being such and AMAZING author!
The Lucky One. I thought that this book was amazing, when it was over I found myself wanting to keep reading. Nicholas Sparks is my favorite author, I have read many of his books and they never seem to disappoint.
Spectacular. Im not much of a reader but I read this book cover to cover and ironically a few days after I finished I saw the trailer. The movie was just terrible compared to the book. The book is a tad boring at first but it's one of my favorites. I really connected with it. Tear jerker for sure. Shows true passion and romance. Sparks did it again.
Great book and great author. This is a great book for teens and adults both. Nicholas Sparks is a great writer and tells a great love story in this book. Although this book is more like reading a characters part of a movie or play it is still one of many great love stories by Nicholas Sparks. I would recommend this to anyone who loves a great and treasuring story!!!
Amazing. I absolutely loved this book. Once I started reading, I couldn't stop! I cried, I laughed. My emotions were all over the place. One of the best books I've read in a long time!
Sparks does it again. I love Spark's books. He shows amazing depth to his characters that pulls you in. His talent in writing a love story is amazing. I have read many of his books and each time I get totally wrapped up in his story. I read this book in a couple of days, stealing as much time as I could until I hit the height of the literal storm and the tumult of the characters. I couldn't put it down. Especially the end. Thank you for your wonderful talent in developing a marvelous story.
Yes. I absolutely love this one!!!
Awesome. I've the book, but the movie is way better, especially because it had Zac Efron in it.😄😄😍😍😘
Fantastic. Such a short and easy read!!
Loved it!!!. Great book!
All his stories are the same...predictable. When I first began reading this book it piqued my interest but halfway through it, I knew how it was going to end. I love the Notebook but doubt I'll ever read another book written by him.
AMAZING. Few days after I started reading the trailer for this came out ! I was gonna stop reading cause the beginning was kinda boring the book started getting SUPER good ! I 100% recommend it !!
The Lucky One. Such a good book just the movie is different and I like Logan he looks like a cute guy
Great book!. Another amazing book!

Amazement. This book was really good and you felt like you were right in it! It kept me going during my crazy finals! I highly recommend it :)
Worth the Purchase. Its too bad that the first couple chapters were what had to be included in the free sample. I almost didn't purchase this book because I couldn't stand one of the characters, but eventually decided to buy it anyways (trusting in my faith in Nicholas Sparks). He did not dissapoint me. Great Book. Buy It.
love. love love love love this book! best by far :)
Slightly disappointed. I'm typically a Nicholas Sparks fan but this book was disappointing. The book was made for a movie. They have even chosen to use the characters for the movie over what the characters are described to look like in the book as the iBook cover. That being said I still read the entire book. I think Nicholas Sparks could have done more with it.
Slow read. Not the best Nicholas Sparks novel, very slow pace - you could skim over many a page and not miss anything. Drawn out details that were not important didn't help either. The concept of Beth and Logan's love was unique but still lacked a certain something. Ended with a twist as Spark's novels often do.
Not very good. My wife an I both read this book. We found it to be poorly written and cheesy. The plot was transparent. Read like a cheesy romance novel.
Cheesy!. So cheesy... Similar to a Made for tv movie. Badly written and transparent.
The Lucky One. This is an amazing book!
Great read!. Nicholas sparks writes another good book.
A great read!!. Have read a few by Nicholas, and this was by far my favorite! Fantastic ending:)
Amazing!!!. The best of nicholas sparks i've read... so far. The story was touching and I couldn't put the book down for a second :) can't wait to see the movie they did!!!
Loved it. Such a great read.
Lucky One. Very nice read. Sparkes never ceases to amaze me with his novels!
AMAZING. I wanted to read the book prior to the movie coming out and i couldn't put it down. Though im not surprised given his other work!
Incredible. Amazing! Wow, what an ending. Nicholas Sparks sure knows how to finish a novel with a suspenseful ending! Loved it, one of my favorites of his that i've read.
The Lucky one!. This book is amazing! Especially if you can relate to it with a love one overseas in war zone. Very romantic!
The Lucky One #1. Best book EVER... Love, drama & mystery... What more can we ask for! One of the best books I have ever read, it's absolutely magnificent!
The Lucky one. Best book ever. Makes me want to be a better man. Logan is a great hero, Zeus is an incredible static that is forever reliable and fun and Ben is the coolest kid ever.

The Lucky One. A great read! Finished this book in just 3 days. I couldn't wait to see what was happening next! Highly recommend!
Good job. So cute!
Slow and predictable. I was really looking forward to this book after seeing the previews to the movie. However, I found it to be a very slow-moving and unimaginative story. I actually skipped parts just to try to get through it faster. This is definitely not a worthwhile read. Very disappointing!
The lucky one. Wow! Amazing!
Loved it!. Couldn't put the book down. Great read!
Great Book. This is not really a romance and no matter what you age or gender is, this book is AMAZING! 10 Times Beter Than The Movie
Best Ever. I read this book in less than 2 days. I couldn't put it down! I laughed and cried!!
Wonderful. Great love story with a great ending.
Another must read!. Nicholas Sparks has written another amazing novel with flowing imagery, surprising twists, and altogether a love story that will keep you wanting more. He not only gives you the opportunity to capture the beautiful happenings in this tale, but to imagine what happens to the best of us who fall in love. Definitely one of my favorites!
Nicholas Sparks.. Nicholas Sparks is the best author ever☺
Loveeeee. I love this book so much!!! Get it ! Yo will not be disappointed!
Great. This book was great. It was truly an awesome story line and love story. I can't wait to see the movie.
Great book!. I LOVE the way he makes The characters come alive...especially the dumb one....wonderful how the author switches between roles so smoothly. Clayton is amazingly narrow minded and ignorant. Easy one weekend read!
Amazing !!!. I absolutely loved it!!! :)
Excellent novel!. I saw the movie, and wanted to read the book. I read it in a day and could not put it down. There is more depth to the book than the movie, and I enjoyed reading the three points of view.
Favorite Nicholas Sparks Book. This is my favorite book by Nicholas Sparks by far. A great read!
BESTBOOKEVER!!!!!!!!. I read this book and fell in love with it, he is a great auther and now that the movie is coming out, i have to see it not because i liked the book, But i am the BIGGEST Zac Efron fan, and since he is playing thighboult, i am REALLY excited! Best book EVER
So Good!!. I LOVE this book!! I cam reading it right now and can NOT stop turning the pages :) I am definetly going to read more of his books now!
A great story!. Couldn't put it down from beginning to end.
Great. Could've done w/o a lot of the mundane details but it was a good read!
Amazing. I've loved Sparks books since reading "The Notebook". I seriously could not put down this book. It's that good! Totally wish there was a second one. Sad that it's finished.
The type of Love!. It is definitely what people don't know what they are searching for that leads to them to perfection of harmony! Logan is harmony while Beth and Ben are the Perfect Picture of Love! Love love this book!
Love. This book is amazing!! Can't wait for the movie!!:)
Amazing. This book was so good. I couldn't put it down for even a second.
Okay...not great. Good read. But his books are becoming too predictable. Not one of his better books.
So good!. This book was so good I couldn't put it down. Nicholas Sparks really made you feel like you were actually there watching every scene. Can't wait to see the movie!!!
Good book. Would recommend!!
engaging. keeps you wondering what's going to happen until the very end.
Meh.... Book was ok. do yourself a favor and for once skip the book and just watch the movie.
The lucky one. Mr.sparks an astonishing book written by you again the amazing chemistry of the book I enjoyed the "meat" of the book the most an amazing book once again mr.sparks keep writing and I'll keep watching
Leo. I loved this book, but the entire time I was thinking how amazing Leonardo DiCarpio would be as Thibault. I was dissapointed when they cast Zac Efron
Lucky one. Was great book ,would refer to all my friends
The Lucky One. Very good book! Must read
Amazing Book!. One of the best books ever! It is an amazing story! I literally could not put it down once I started reading it! Love it!
Love it. I love this book. I couldn't put the book down, last night I read about 11 chapters. I can't wait until the movie comes out. I can tell that they changed some stuff from the book for the movie, but it still looks great. P.S. I just saw the movie and it was a good movie but the book was way better. I love the book a lot more. Some of the things that they changed in the movie are some of the things that I like the most of the book.
I LOVE IT!!!. Best book ever... Can't wait to see movie...
AMAZING!!!!!!. THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING SO WAS THE MOVIE!!!!!!
Love!. Absolutely loved this book! Could not put it down! Way to go, Mr. Sparks!
Awesome!!. I read the book in 3 days! Definitely a page turner
The lucky one. This was a great read! Some of the parts seemed a little slow but the ending had a nice twist too it! I really enjoyed the book overall and I think it's definitely worth reading!
Amazing. Loved the book I didn't want it to end
Didn't mean too. I'm sorry my young daughter bought this without meaning to I guess (She's 3) I was letting her play fruit ninja on her and she clicked on IBooks and the lucky one was already popped up and she bought it and I have in settings where you don't have to enter your pass code... Anyways I'm gettin this book as a present from my hubby and I was hoping you could refund my money and take the book back I'm not gonna read it or anything, I just don't need two and I prefer paper. Please give me a full refund and return the book.
A riveting love story!. Nicholas Sparks never fails to enchant his readers. Excellent book.
Simply Amazing:). This is one of my very favorite books. It is spine tingling till the end of the book. It has a twist in the whole book, and my words can't even explain how good it is. Also, the movie is coming out soon!
Eh. I don't get the hype over this book. It was so boring. Great to read if you need something to help you sleep at night.
Thank you. What a wonderful read! I loved it and the way the book is written where each chapter is from one of their perspectives was awesome! I recommend opening it up on a Friday night and making it your weekend read! Great story!
Good but not great. I found the book to be a good love story with Logan a very deep character. Elizabeth seemed silly at times and too naive. I have seen the movie and honestly it was better than the book. It contained great emotionally complicated scenes between characters. The book was missing some of that. All in all a quick, easy, enjoyable love story.
Especially meaningful to those with military family.. Amazing book. I read it in two days and absolutely loved it. It's nice to finally get to see someone portray a Marine who as good, and deals with PTSD constructively. Minimal war scenes, none of which are gory. They simply state what happened, so don't be afraid of that. From someone who works with the Marines, and loves them madly- you'll LOVE this book!
Love it!!!!. I wanted to read the book before watching the movie but now I am not sure if the movie can live up to the book. I read the book in a day cause I just couldn't put it down!
<3. absolutely loved this book! Waiting to see movie hope it's good :)
