Query: Where is Nicholas Sparks?

I think Mr. Sparks is channeling Danielle Steel. This trite piece of "literature" was not even a good enough to classify as a "light summer read" (in my humble opinion). I mean, how many times can a writer have his character "roll her eyes" to indicate flirting, exasperation, etc.? When he had the main male character roll his eyes as well, it was simply irritating. This is so NOT the Nicholas Sparks I had come to love through his earlier works. I feel as if Mr. Sparks has sold out...is he required by his publisher to churn out a specific number of novels in a time frame? If so, he is doing this with complete disregard to substance, quality, and plot.
