In the beginning of the book you follow john and you read about his family and his childhood. In the prologue we get to know that this story that he is going to tell us is very important to him, it changed his life and this thought of love. We also get to know that the story is going to be about Savannah. In the prologue he describes her like a very nice person and we get to know some tiny facts and memories about her, which I think, make it more exciting to read. You want to now who she was for him and what they did together.
John starts his story talking about his only family member, his father. Johns father is very special because he lives in the same pattern everyday. Every morning starts with egg and bacon and he needs to leave the house exact 07:35. He is not a very good talker either, but he has a passion, coins. John himself is totally different, he is out loud and more spontaneous. John had a very hard childhood, his mother left them when he was a baby and with his father's passion about coins they didn't have a lot of money. They did okay but John never had the material things his friends had. John felt like he was an outsider so he starts to skip classes and started to fight with people. He didn't have a reason to live and he didn't think of the future very much, until he saw some marine solders on the beach. He decided to join the army.
The writher doesn't let us know much about John's life in the army (so far) and I think that it's good because you can concentrate on what his thoughts of live are instead. John finally meet Savannah on the beach on one of his breaks and he felt a "click" when he looked her in the eyes. The writher describes Savannah in a very good way so you can get a picture in you mind. He also describes her personality well so you can almost understand why she says the things she say. I like the book so far because you get a good back story so I can understand theirs personalities better :)
