Sparks = TV movies

-SPOILERS?!- I really liked The Notebook film, although the book was better, but after watching Nights In Rodanthe, I think any other Nicholas Sparks films should be made for tv. I've seen Message In A Bottle and the first film (title I can't recall and too lazy to look up- but does it really matter?!). Some were good, but after awhile, they're all the same,- in Rodanthe I knew as soon as they were getting to know each other, Paul was goin to die (it had to be one of them- it's a Sparks story after all). **Has anyone read the book, Is it better?** I don't mind if it's tragic, but if it flows better I won't mind reading a good story. Diane Lane can be such a great actress it's too bad she was relegated to this. This would be a good TV movie, but as a feature film (in theaters) it lacks a lot.
