About this ebook

A sus treinta y dos años, Russell Green lo tiene todo: una impresionante esposa, una hija adorable de seis años, una exitosa carrera como ejecutivo de publicidad y una gran casa en Charlotte. Russell vive en medio de un sueño, y su matrimonio con la encantadora Vivian es el centro de su existencia. Pero debajo de esta vida perfecta empiezan a aparecer los problemas y Russ está a punto de presenciar cómo varios aspectos de su vida que daba por sentados van a dar un giro por completo.

En cuestión de meses, Russell se queda sin trabajo y sin mujer, y deberá luchar para adaptarse a una nueva y desconcertante realidad. Descubriendo el desierto de la vida monoparental, Russell se embarcará en un viaje aterrador a la vez que gratificante, que pondrá a prueba sus habilidades y sus recursos emocionales más allá de lo que nunca habría imaginado.

    Russ is a people pleaser, who does almost anything to please his wife, Vivian. But when he quits his job to start his own advertising firm, Vivian gets a job with a sleazy old account of his; eventually leaving him for days (and nights) at a time in charge of their child London. Second story of his gay sister's marriage, along with his parent's marriage. Good discussion at book club despite unlikeable characters.

    Every so often, I have to take a break from my usual fare of mysteries and suspense, and curl up with a book guaranteed to tug at the heartstrings. Nicholas Sparks books are a good choice for that. His latest release is Two By Two.Russ is a man who seems to have it all - beautiful wife and daughter, successful career and a lovely home. Yes, things in the relationship aren't quite what they were in the beginning, but everyone's marriage goes through those up and down times, right? But for Russ, those down times take a further downward spiral when he finds himself without a wife, without a job and now the main carer for his daughter."When you start trying to figure out what went wrong - or, more specifically where you went wrong - it's like peeling an onion. there's always another layer, another mistake in the past or a painful memory that stands out, which then leads one back even further in time, and then even further, in search of the ultimate truth. I've reached the point where I've stopped trying to figure it out: The only thing that really matters now is learning enough to avoid making the same mistakes again."Oh, my goodness, I don't know when I have had such a strong dislike for a character - and so early on in a book! I'm talking about Russ's wife Vivian. She's spoilt, obnoxious and oblivious to her own behavior. She may love her daughter, but she's not a great role model at all. I did enjoy Russ's transformation from weekend/after work parent to dad who does it all. His relationship with his daughter London changes and grows over the course of a year. Russ himself changes as well. I did find myself annoyed with him in the beginning of the book - for all that Vivian is a manipulator, Russ is an enabler. He kowtows to her every wish and whim, accepts her criticism and tries even harder to make her happy. I wanted him to stand up for himself - but Russ is a nice guy - to his own detriment. His obsequious behaviour isn't great role model material either.Sparks excels at relationship exploration in his novels. The husband/wife, parent/child dynamic is explored in not just Russ's family unit, but also through the eyes of his parents, his sister and her partner and a longtime friend and her child. I quite enjoyed the cast of supporting characters - especially sister Marge and partner Liz. And yes, there has to be a romantic thread as well. I won't spoil things, but I liked the way Sparks wrote and handled this part of his plotting.There's no doubt as to what direction the book is going to take - and I was right in my predictions. But, I'm not thrilled with the ending. 'Nuff said without spoilers. Two By Two is a slower paced book, taking it's time to reach the final pages. I think it probably could have been shortened up a wee bit.

    As with most of Sparks's books, it's a touching story but also very sad. Parts of it seem written in a very passive tense--things happen to Russ rather than him being active in the narrative.Having read the back of the book, the divorce between Russ and Vivian wasn't really a surprise. At times, I expected more of a custody battle, but I'm glad in the end that, if they did have to get divorced, both parents decided to do what was best for their daughter. I'm also glad that Russ didn't have to sacrifice his best friend when he decided to put his daughter first (though, in real life, I'm not so sure things would have worked out quite so easily). Russ's older sister, Marge's, diagnosis was a bit of a plot twist--though I did wonder if it would happen before it was revealed in the book. It made me cry.

    Bring tissues.You will definitely need them for the end of the book.The story hit me like a Mack truck. BAM!I laughed while reading. I got irritated by certain people and their behavior, and I cried like a baby. This story really took me on a ride. Nicholas Sparks sure knows how to capture a reader and keep them engaged. It may have taken me a little too long to get through, but that is because life got in the way. If I had all the time in the world, I would've read it in one day.I can't wait to read more of his stories. I want that emotional experience again and again.Fans, you won't be disappointed in this one.If you haven't read anything by Sparks, do so, and even start with this one.

    4.5 "Putting Life & Love in Perspective" Stars for the story!Please note this book will make you cry! And though there is a romance embedded in this story, this book should really be classified as fiction (like women's fiction but without any humor). Perhaps what struck me the most is that: although it's told from a man's perspective, it could equally apply to a woman. To get the full benefit of this story, however, you must will yourself through what will inevitably feel like a very difficult story to stomach. There is a character that you will hate with all your being. And situations that seem palpably unfair (and yet could equally happen to any of us). In fact, this story made me so sad and depressed that I wanted to stop about a quarter of the way through. And though its hard to imagine, the story gets even sadder from there. All that said, it's a book worth listening to to its end, as the power of its message really helps put everything in life in perspective. Sometimes what seems like the worst moment in our lives, is really just trivial and insignificant in the big scheme of things. In fact, it may be the impetus for a better life when we have been stuck in a life that is just ok (or perhaps worse, bad though we have been blind to see it). However, transition is never easy, though sometimes it is well worth it in the end.Source: Library-loan.

    A predictable and relaxing quick read just for the entertainment value. He brings more current themes into this one with same sex relationships. He also has some other themes that are a major part of the book including, cancer and dying, single parenthood after a cheating wife and the struggles with child custody in the aftermath.

    Two by two by nicholas SparksBook starts out with Vivian and her husband, Russell-from his point of view. Picks up after they've been married and she's pregnant and before you know it, they have the baby.Work is going well and his wife didn't go back to work so he's feeling the pressure of not having enough money and making ends meet are not as smooth as they used to be.The boss warms up to his wife and he takes it seriously and now his boss is giving him low end projects...he thinks he's about to be fired. He tells her of the work projections he's done and that he needs to start up his own agency.He tells his wife the night that they have a date....things change as he attempts to get clients, life for him gets hectic as he deals with classes for the little girl and his wife has gone back to work spending thousands of dollars for clothes...Things escalate and their marriage is in trouble, medical emergencies and the child's daily events the book goes to drama. Every little nit picky thing that happens is told-it's a bit much and boring at times.Liked real life things that happen it was just too drawn out.I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

    I have always been a huge Nicholas Sparks fan, and I own every book he has ever wrote. Normally I read them as soon as they are released, but the last few books have been horrible. I have heard so many negative reviews about Two by Two, so I have not wanted to pick it up. When I saw my library had the audiobook, I decided I would try it that way.Not much really happens in the first half. You watch a husband and a wife struggle with their relationship and life events. He did a great job of making me hate Vivian. I could not stand her. I liked the romance with Emily. It was the last half of the book that brought me back to why I love NS. Of course, I found myself crying! I normally do in all of his books.Even though this was not my favorite, I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Still not the NS I love, but getting back to that with this one!

    I have been a long time fan of Nicholas Sparks, ever since I read "Message in a Bottle" many years ago. Unfortunately, his latest book didn't have the same emotional appeal as most of his other books. I did like Russ' narration, and enjoyed watching his relationship develop with his young daughter as he struggled being a single father setting up his own business. However, the book was too descriptive and the plot slow, and I felt it was partly biographical. It also annoyed me how Russ allowed his ex-wife to push him around the way she did. I also never felt the chemistry between he and Emily.My favourite character, by far, was Madge, Russ' older sister. She was funny, witty, outspoken and adored her brother. I loved the relationship between the two of them; it was poignant and heartwarming. Overall, an okay read, but I missed the old Sparks' magic.

    Inhaltsangabe:Eigentlich könnte Russel Green rundum glücklich sein. Mit seinen 34 Jahren ist er nicht nur verheiratet mit der attraktiven Vivian, er hat auch noch die bezaubernde Tochter London und ist erfolgreich in der Werbe-Agentur tätig. Doch der äußere Schein trügt: er spürt den enormen Konkurrenzkampf in der Agentur und beschließt nach reiflicher Überlegung und vielen Gesprächen, sich selbstständig zu machen.Seine Frau Vivian ist ihre Shoppingtouren gewohnt und unternimmt sehr viel mit der Tochter. Doch als Russ sich selbstständig macht und die Kunden erst einmal ausbleiben, beschließt sie, sich selbst Arbeit zu suchen. Als sie für den Milliardär Walter Spannerman beginnt zu arbeiten, ändert sich Russ‘ Leben kolossal: er ist fortan für London und ihre Kurse verantwortlich, da Vivan sehr viel auf Geschäftsreise ist und kaum Zeit für die Familie hat.Doch nicht nur dies ändert sich, auch Vivan entfernt sich immer von ihrer Familie und gibt Russel indirekt die Schuld dafür, weil er nicht mehr in der Lage ist, die Familie anständig zu versorgen. Der wahre Grund kommt jedoch bald zu Tage: Vivian hat eine Affäre und will aus der Ehe ausbrechen!Für Russel und London beginnt eine sehr turbulente Zeit, doch die Trennung ist nicht die größte Prüfung, die ihm bevorsteht.Mein Fazit:Die Widmung in diesem Buch finde ich schön. Der Autor hat sich bei seinen Lesern für die Treue der letzten zwanzig Jahren bedankt. Und ich fühle mich tatsächlich persönlich angesprochen, denn ich habe sie alle gelesen, alle zwanzig Bücher, die er bisher veröffentlicht hat.Doch nun zum Buch: Jedes Kapitel beginnt mit einer kurzen Rückblende, welches in irgendeiner Weise einen Bezug zur Geschichte der Gegenwart hat. Russel Green erzählt dabei von z. B. von der Geburt der Tochter, das Leben mit seiner Familie oder die Ex-Freundin Emily, dessen Beziehung er durch einen Fehler in den Sand gesetzt hat. Erst im Laufe der Geschichte geben die kleinen Episoden aus der Vergangenheit für die Gegenwart einen Sinn.Der Erzählstrang der Gegenwart zieht sich dafür ein bisschen hin. Ausführlich beschreibt er, wie sich das Leben plötzlich ändert, wie Vivian ihn und die Tochter immer wieder vor vollendete Tatsachen stellt und die Streitereien und Diskussionen immer so dreht, dass Russel der Schuldige an der ganzen Misere ist. Manchmal hatte ich beim Lesen die Hasskappe auf; Vivian war mir von Anfang an unsympathisch, sie war nur auf ihren Vorteil bedacht. Weil sie es mit dem Ballett nicht schaffte, zwang sie ihre Tochter in einen Ballett-Kurs mit einer sehr strengen Lehrerin. Noch so andere kleine Dinge gingen mir bei der Frau auf den Keks.Russel hingegen machte mich manchmal auch wütend, denn er ließ sich alles von ihr gefallen, wollte sie immer glücklich machen und je mehr er es versuchte, desto mehr entzog sie sich ihm. Zuweilen wirkte er richtig devot. Arg, das war zum Haare raufen. Schließlich jedocht merkte er irgendwann selbst, das an der Ehe nicht alles gut war, doch er liebte Vivian noch immer.Eine große Hilfe war dabei seine Familie. Obwohl sie alle so unterschiedlich waren, hielten sie zusammen und waren füreinander da. Sehr bewundernswert, in der Realität habe ich es so leider noch nicht erlebt. Und der Zusammenhalt war es auch, der ihn in seiner schwersten Stunde auffing und stützte. Die Trennung von Vivian haute ihn schier um und er wollte es nicht wirklich wahrhaben. Der Kampf um neue Kunden wurde dabei fast nebensächlich. Ab der Hälfte ungefähr nimmt die Geschichte jedoch unheimlich an Fahrt auf, denn er beginnt die Trennung allmählich zu überwinden. Er faßt wieder Lebensmut und beginnt sich allmählich gegen Vivians Schikanen zu wehren. Aber dann schlägt der Hammer zu – unerbittlicher und von einer Seite, die er nicht kommen sah.Lange Rede, kurzer Sinn: Es ist ein typischer Nicholas Sparks, gar keine Frage. Und der Autor wird vermutlich sehr viel Persönliches in dieser Geschichte verarbeitet haben. Die Spannung lässt erst ein bisschen auf sich warten, aber dann ungefähr ab der Hälfte ließ das Buch mich nicht mehr los. Und ich musste mir einige dicke Klöße im Hals wegschlucken!Wegen der Zähen ersten Hälfte gibt es trotz des atemberaubenden Endes nur vier Sterne.
