'At First Sight' by Nicholas Sparks

I've never been drawn towards 'romantic' novels, and for almost a month after ordering this one from Fabmall, it kept sitting on my bookshelf, its pages waiting to be liberated, waiting to make an impression. And impression they did make.

Finely written, easy in its pace, this novel captures the trials and tribulations of a man on the verge of a new life so well, it almost made me wonder if this was me, if this was how you'd feel if you were passing through such a situation. And just as you feel the troubles are over, the novel reminds you of life's little ironies and how mundane situations you never would even think about can change lives forever.

Superbly written, well plotted, this is one helluva read. Strongly Recommended if you need to change the pace of your life for a few hours, and well, for quite some time after that.
