Publisher Comments:

As moving as his bestselling works of fiction, Nicholas Sparks's unique memoir, written with his brother, chronicles the life-affirming journey of two brothers bound by memories, both humorous and tragicIn January 2003, Nicholas Sparks and his brother, Micah, set off on a three-week trip around the globe. It was to mark a milestone in their lives, for at thirty-seven and thirty-eight respectively, they were now the only surviving members of their family. Against the backdrop of the wonders of the world and often overtaken by their feelings, daredevil Micah and the more serious, introspective Nicholas recalled their rambunctious childhood adventures and the tragedies that tested their faith. And in the process, they discovered startling truths about loss, love, and hope.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.

Synopsis:

Now in paperback comes Nicholas and Micah Sparks' "New York Times" bestselling memoir of their life-affirming journey around the world.

I've only read one other book by Nicholas Sparks and although it kept me interested there was something about his writing style that didn't gel with me. Having read Three Weeks with My Brother, however, my opinion of him has changed drastically. I probably spent about 3 weeks reading the book in my downtime, and I found that it gave me an unbelievably intimate perspective into the history of a family that had to endure tragedy over and over again. Contradicting life lessons are learned by the Sparks brothers, showing how everyone will react differently to tragedy. The story isn't about them travelling the globe, it's about family, and more specifically brotherhood

I agree with the previous post. Such a well done book. Nicholas Sparks is such a good writer and this true story puts you inside his family which is not your usual family down the block. It also hits on some the the great places to visit around the world. I recommend this heartily.

Part personal memoir with travel narrative. For those looking for vivid descriptions of the many exotic places he and his brother visit (Machu Picchu, Taj Mahal, Easter Island to name a few), look elsewhere. For those looking for a deeply moving, personal book, look no further! Sparks shines when he shares his and his familiy's personal stories and tragedies. Keep kleenix on hand!
