Powell, Ben (June 17, 2014). " 'The Longest Ride' begins filming in Wilmington". wect.com . Retrieved June 17, 2014. The second story occurs miles away between a cowboy, bull-rider named Luke and a college student named Sophia. They meet at a rodeo and soon strike up an unbreakable bond and heartfelt romance that’s not without its fair share of struggles and hardships. The story concerns two sets of characters, the Jewish couple Ira Levinson and his wife Ruth, who had a passion for art. Though Ruth died nine years before the start of the novel, she is as vivid and present a character as the 91 year old Ira. Through memories we see their love and life together unfold along with the sorrows that permeate some of it. The other couple is Luke a professional bull rider and Sophia an Arts history student at college. Their worlds and life experiences couldn’t be further apart it seems. He's a cowboy and daring bull-rider unlike anybody she's ever met. Though they enjoy the perks of a newly blooming romance, they also must face the realities that move alongside Luke’s dangerous job description. Yet experience has taught me that fate is sometimes cruel and that even a boatload of hope is sometimes not enough.”

I know you miss me terribly. I miss you, too. But we still have each other, for I am - and always have been - part of you. You carry me in your heart, just as I carried you in mine, and nothing can ever change that. I love you, my darling, and you love me. Hold on to that feeling. Hold on to us. And little by little, you will find a way to heal.” Professional Bull Riders - Professional Bull Riders star bull Rango passes away". September 16, 2014 . Retrieved August 14, 2020. This is my first narration by January LaVoy and she is fabulous. She has a sweet and very pleasant voice and I loved her male transition. Sometimes I felt like it was a male narrator speaking to me. I will definitely stalk her and listen to more of her books. This is my first narration by Ron and he sounded like his character, I really old man. I’m not sure if I will listen to his voice again, unless I’m listening to a book that has an old man, but he did a great job. I loved his reactions and I felt his emotions. You can tell the production of the book was really high quality. I simply loved it.

Oona Chaplin To Star In Nicholas Sparks' 'The Longest Ride' ". redcarpetendings.com . Retrieved 2014-05-08. But that doesn't happen here, at least not unexpectedly, and things end well, albeit a little far fetched. Two stories are told concurrently; one of Ira and Ruth, and the other of Sophia and Luke. They are so far apart by comparison that it is hard to see how they will be brought together in the end, but Sparks pulls it off, even though it seems, as I said earlier, a little improbable.

It was a great little twist, although I think I kind of expected it BUT still reading that ANNOUNCEMENT gave me goosebumbs.

I wish I had the talent to paint the way I feel about you, for my words always feel inadequate. I imagine using red for your passion and pale blue for your kindness; forest green to reflect the depth of your empathy and bright yellow for your unflagging optimism. And still I wonder: can even an artist’s palette capture the full range of what you mean to me?” I have read books by Nicholas Sparks before, I have even loved books by Nicholas Sparks before but this one ... IT WAS THE LONGEST RIDE INDEED.. To me this just felt like Nicholas Sparks had this two not-yet-great ideas about two completely different love stories and he was like "You know what, Im just going to put this two together in a book and then find a way to make them connect, yup, that will work." But, gosh to me, it didn't work. Yamato, Jen (May 5, 2014). "Britt Robertson Boards Nicholas Sparks Romance 'The Longest Ride' ". Deadline Hollywood . Retrieved December 16, 2017. The Longest Ride shares two parallel stories that I’ll only touch upon briefly because I don’t want to give anything away.It was only the day after I finished the book that I started to remember some ways where the movie was a little different to the book. At the time of reading I was far too absorbed to even think about that. It was a case of ‘don’t bother me, I’m reading.’ Not quite true I wasn’t just reading, I lived each moment with these characters. At times was reading through teary eyes. My darling husband is used to this reaction when I’m reading a Nicholas Sparks’ novel. Ninety-one-year-old Ira Levinson is in trouble. Struggling to stay conscious after a car crash, an image of his adored - and long dead - wife Ruth appears. Urging him to hang on, she lovingly recounts the joys and sorrows of their life together: how they met, the dark days of World War II and it's unrelenting effects on their families. A few miles away, college student Sophia Danko's life is about to change when she meets the young, rugged Luke Collins and is thrown into a world far removed from her privileged school life. Sophia sees a tantalising future for herself, but Luke is keeping a secret that could destroy it all. — Indiabb95

Like I mentioned before I'm quiet sure that I'm giving this 4 star cuz of the movie. The stars were chosen so well I think this is one where movie stars totally match the characters in my head. So I would like to recommend to everyone to watch The Longest Ride movie along side the book :)While at the hospital, she hears the doctor warn Luke not to ride again, as he was warned against riding after his serious injury (for which he has a scar on his chest) at the beginning of the movie. Sophia is concerned as she cares about Luke, and doesn't want him to harm himself, upon being discharged from the hospital she assumes he will stop riding bulls but when he tells her he won't she breaks up with him as she can't be with him if he is harming himself unnecessarily especially after she called her boss to cancel both the meeting this weekend and her upcoming internship so they could be together. His mom says that he is making a mistake letting her go as she is the rest of his life. When he explains that he does it for his mom, she says she will make it without the ranch and that the only person he is doing it for is himself. The Longest Ride (film), a 2015 American Neo Western romantic drama film based on Spark's novel of the same name

Ira Levinson is in trouble. At ninety-one years old, in poor health and alone in the world, he finds himself stranded on an isolated embankment after a car crash. Suffering multiple injuries, he struggles to retain consciousness until a blurry image materializes and comes into focus beside him: his beloved wife Ruth, who passed away nine years ago. Urging him to hang on, she forces him to remain alert by recounting the stories of their lifetime together – how they met, the precious paintings they collected together, the dark days of WWII and its effect on them and their families. Ira knows that Ruth can’t possibly be in the car with him, but he clings to her words and his memories, reliving the sorrows and everyday joys that defined their marriage. Do I like it? Not really. My problem os the the length of the book. Too long. It got boring, to be honest. Este libro esta narrado en dos líneas de tiempo, una por un hombre de noventa años que se encuentra accidentado en una carretera nevada aislada y otra por una estudiante de arte y un cowboy. Next he is shown in the hospital, and while he is still alive he is sent home but the reason is not yet known. Upon arriving home he is shown outside Ruth's home but doesn't have the courage to enter. She approaches him in a diner saying that his mom called to tell Ruth that he has been home for a few days, and she is upset as he hasn't called her. She demands to know why he won't talk to her as she waited all that time for him and wanted to marry him. He reveals that the injury left him unable to have kids and said that he can't give her the family that she wants so she should continue without him. She says that she loves him and will marry him regardless. On one of their dates he takes her to an open house and asks her if she likes it, she says yes and he reveals the keys in his hands and inside the house he reveals the painting she loved from the hotel lobby. They hang it in the house.
