That’s all I can say about the plot without spoiling anything. But this story… All the feels. All of them!

There is no love struggle, not really. The movie is actually more romantic, maybe because is not completely loyal to the book.

The film began principal photography on June 18, 2012 in Wilmington and Southport, North Carolina. [7] Parts of it were filmed in Louisiana and the opening scene with Katie on the Coach America bus is on the Linn Cove Viaduct along the Blue Ridge Parkway near Grandfather Mountain in Linville, North Carolina.

Josh Duhamel as Alex Wheatley, Katie's new boyfriend and a widower who struggles to raise his two kids after the death of his wife. The entire film is based on the theme of second chances. Katie gets a second chance at true happiness and love after meeting Alex. Similarly, Jo is also looking for a second chance, not for herself but her family. Through her letter, it is evident that Jo wants the next woman who comes into Alex’s life to complete her family by taking her place and provide her husband and kids with the second chance they deserve at love and family.

Predictable, but I could handle that. Then Nicholas Sparks couldn't resist taking it to the hokey and totally unbelievable level by making it so Katie's neighbor was really a magical spirit. She was Alex's wife who loved him so much she wanted him to be happy with another wife who would also love her children. I admit there are parts that drag,like when they're talking endlessly at the beach or when Katie is recounting her day with Jo. I mean Jo might not know what Alex and Katie and the kids did but we do. Also the characters are far too mature and serious for me to relate to. Alex worries about kids and parenting. And Katie- she's disciplined enough to look only for items on sale while shopping! But I like them both individually and as a couple, which is why I was almost bored as they took and took and took their time to fall in love on the first part of the book.

Not many disappointments as such. But the clever Katie did make some foolish decisions which eventually led to serious repercussions. In the end, I think which was a need for the plot. Conclusion: Safe Haven – Rise of the RAMs was the first book I wrote. It’s the story of one family’s fight to survive after the outbreak of a reanimating virus. Little did I know that six years later, it would still be going strong and has spawned best-selling offshoots on both sides of the Atlantic as well as down under. Safe Haven is a 2013 American romantic drama fantasy thriller film starring Julianne Hough, Josh Duhamel and Cobie Smulders. The film marks the final film role for actor Red West. It was released theatrically in North America on February 14, 2013. The film was directed by Lasse Hallström, and is an adaptation of Nicholas Sparks' 2010 novel of the same name. The film was originally set for a February 8 release. [4] Plot [ edit ] Yes, you read that right. Per the author himself, the lessons within Safe Haven are “not to be attempted by nonprofessionals.” More important, he’s clear that he’s not even conveying an approach to investing that could be attempted “by most professionals.” As Spitznagel sees it, “professionals” would likely struggle with his approach the most precisely because it’s so unorthodox.

What makes Safe Haven even more appealing than the stories of remarkable people who shaped Spitznagel’s investment worldview is that the book is so unabashedly contrarian. Spitznagel plainly disdains conventional wisdom and feels the investment business is overly populated by conventional, intensely fallacious thought. Universa is in the business of making money for its investors via rejection of what’s thought to be known. In the author’s words, “It is my business to do what other people do not and cannot do.”That is so because in addition to a head for numbers, the author is a storyteller. He explains his investment philosophy through the brilliant mathematical minds of the Bernoullis, through Nietzche, Albert Einstein, the SS Eastland is used to showcase the frequently cruel results of good intentions, his Burmese Water Dog is featured as a way of vivifying the simplistic nature of correlations, etc. etc. Though Safe Haven is full of charts and numbers, it reads as though it’s written by a poet. The author has a very interesting mind. I also appreciated the twist with her neighbour turns out she isn't actually real - she is Alex's dead wife visiting Katie in spirit form very random and I did not see that coming. Safe haven is the story of Katie, a beautiful young woman who is in an abusive relationship with her husband. Later, she runs away from him to a safe place, a small North Carolina town in Southport. She remains to herself in the new place. But a set of circumstances lead her into two new people. A widowed store owner of Southport, Alex, who becomes her romantic interest. Secondly, her neighbor Jo, who becomes her best friend. Will Katie find her safe haven in the new place? The story unfolds itself through some unexpected and mystical incidents. Kevin is another story. That man has serious demons that have driven his mind to insanity. Legit psycho!!! He is that villain that you hate with a passion and seeing inside his head was the most disturbing thing ever! I mean for someone who quotes the bible a lot, the world he lived in was just wrong in every single aspect. Oh my gosh! This book. Not many books actually make me cry real tears but, oh man, the ending of this one got me!!
