Notebook, The Abridged

Summary: Wonderful love story
Review: Sparks beautifully captures what we all long for -- a relationship so complete that it spans everything -- time, sickness, distance. He truly makes us see what a special, powerful, and eternal gift love is. This story is touching and is a great read on a lazy summer Sunday, lying in a hammock under a tree with a cool glass of sweet tea nearby.

Summary: All I have to say is... WOW
Review: My older sister gave me the book to read saying that "it's a very good book". Once I started to read this book, I couldn't put it down. It was so magnificant and it gave me chills. The love felt between Noah and Allie was and still is rare. The love was sooo strong and I must say that I am jealous. It's the kind of love story I want to have. They lost each other and found each other again. I started it the other night and finished it today. I cried. I keep thinking about it in my head. I just wanna read it over and over again. It would make a great movie and I would LOVE to play Allie.

Summary: Excellent
Review: I don't like love stories. But this one is the best story I have ever read. It almost seems impossible that two people could ever love each other that much. The whole time I was reading I remembered a love I had as a young girl. A love I will probably not experience again for we parted as children and live totally separate and distant lives.

Summary: He does it again!!!
Review: I have read all of Nicholas Sparks books, and in my opinion, this is definitely his best. In this book, he really wraps you up in the characters to the point that you feel what they are feeling. He does that in his other books as well, but there's even more of it in this one. Denise and Taylor are amazing characters, and throughout the book you understand more about them and what they are going through, and you get to realize just how much they need each other. This is an incredible book, and definitely one everyone should read.

Summary: Love is timeless and ageless
Review: This was a very fast read--it is the perfect summer book. After reading it, I sent a copy to my 85-year-old Grandma because she was all I could think about. She found her true love later in life and has kept his life's memory strong even though he can't even remember her. She enjoyed the book and passed it on to her friends. This book touches many generations (it has touched 4 generations of my family) and teaches the timeless lessons of love. If you want a book with tons of flowery words and deep descriptions, look elsewhere. The charm with this book is that it is simple, yet not so simple that you can't feel for the characters.

Summary: A must read for love and romance fanatics!
Review: I was walking through a bookstore and found this book. For some reaon the title caught my eye. I opened it up and began to read the first chapter to see if it flowed well. In a few moments I was done with the first chapter and knew I had to have the book. I finished the book the next day. It is a story of great and undying love. Have you ever had a love that was so intense you never forot about it and it haunted you? The book will keep you in suspense the whole time wondering what happened to the young lovers and if they will meet again. I definitely recommend this book. Remember to have a box of tissue around because it is definitely a tear jerker.

Summary: Absolutely Wonderful!
Review: I was passing through the Atlanta airport and stopped by the book store to purchase a book because I had forgotten to pack one before I left home. For some reason this book, with the view looking off a front porch onto a country landscape caught my eye. It was a small book and looked like something I could knock out during the two hour flight to DC. I had never heard of it before. It just said read me. So I did. I am not one to pick up and read a love story, It's just not my thing to do. But let me tell you, Once I got into it I could not put it down until I finished it. I was in my hotel room when I finished it. It had me flooded in tears at the end. It is a good book. It draws you in and keeps you bound to the end. Enjoy it! When I got home I gave it to my wife to read. Later that evening I found her in the laundry room glued to it, near the end ...and also in tears. It is a good book.

Summary: The Notebook
Review: This story was so beautifully written and full of laughter and tears. It defines the true meaning of love and expresses it with such power and emotion. This book is for all the people in the world who believe in true love and fate. It will capture your heart and leave you in tears. It was such a delight for me to read. It's a story about two teenagers who once fell in love. They were separated at the end of the summer that they met and each began to lead a new life. Years later they met up again, and found the love that they once had. Nicholas Sparks writes with such charisma and enables you to believe that true love will always win in the end. I recommend this book to all dreamers and believers. This was a book that I know I will read again.
