Query: Sparks should have thrown his manuscript into the sea

When journalist Theresa Osbourne discovers a passionate message in a bottle from a man to his dead wife, she is motivated to track him down. They meet and fall in love. This romance consists of a string of unremarkable incidents related in unimaginitive writing. This is one of the most poorly written books I have ever encountered. Most of Nicholas Sparks's prose is deadly dull, but at times it is quite funny. This novel provided some of the biggest unintended laughs for me since I read Tom Clancy's meditations on male impotence in one of his Jack Ryan books.
