Summary: Nice - Quick read
Review: The book for me was a nice escape. A quick read in a hectic time(the holiday's). I was taken away by Sparks delightful story of a "true love". I read the book in 2 days time and thought it relaxing. Sparks description of the surroundings and his lover were wonderful. Enjoy!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Love Story
Review: My mother in law told me about "The Notebook" by Nicholas Sparks, and I just had to read it because I love to read love stories. Let me tell you, I only picked up the book twice and within those two times I finished the whole book. It was so good that I could not put it down for a second. The book is so real even after you finish reading it you can't stop thinking about it. Warning: you will need a box of tissues towards the end so that you can continue to read. To me it is one of the best love stories I have read so far. I think that anyone would enjoy this book and if not something is definitely wrong, or you read the last chapter first which would mess up the whole book for you. Great beginning, great ending, and great book. Don't miss out on reading it. Also I was told that there is another book called "The Wedding" by Sparks, that is added on to "The Notebook." But you have to read "The Notebook" first. Hope this review is helpful to you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: So Romantic
Review: I read this book a couple of years ago, but I haven't forgotten how romantic it is. It started my love for Mr. Spark's novels. They're mostly short, but very sweet love stories. Sure to bring a tear to your eye.

Summary: My Favorite
Review: This is my favorite book of all time. I worked in a nursing home for years and have seen so much of what Sparks describes here. The book brought tears to my eyes more than once. He does a wonderful job of bringing these characters to life. This books speaks volumes about love and life in a limited amount of pages. I recommend this book with all my heart. Happy reading!

Summary: Yikes!
Review: Umm...

Wow.
Okay - I'm a seventeen year old girl and I absolutely adored "A Walk to Remember" - I thought the book was charming and could hardly put it down - So when I discovered my mom had a copy of "The Notebook" - another book by Mr. Sparks - I was ecstatic! I immediately picked it up and began to read.

Wow was that a mistake.
___

Up until after reading "The Notebook" - I can't say I've ever been... embarrassed by a book. But this one definitely "sparked" bashfulness. I have never read a book that was so... blatantly graphic in it's portrayal of "love making" - So graphic that it went from a sweet, innocent tale of childhood love rekindled... to a harlequin romance novel under guise of a love story. It was as if I were watching a couple exact their love from a tree outside their window. Now, excuse me if you disagree here... but I rather don't like the whole "peeping-tom" feeling. And the ending (which generated a rather mordant "Ew" from it's reader) brought no ease to my... well, frankly, disgust from the previous chapters.

If I wanted to read about "s-e-x", I would have picked up a Fabio-encased H.R.N. But such eroticism from a Nicolas Sparks book? Not at all what I had expected, nor hoped.

(and unfortunately... not the only gratuitous sketching from this author... I'll stick with "A Walk to Remember" and leave the others on the shelf... thank you.)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Incredible
Review: This book was truly a work of art. I could not put it down. I cried, I laughed and I hurt for the characters. I am a North Carolina Native and I could see everything he was talking about and I felt as if I were home even though I am hundreds of miles away. The emotional rollercoaster you are on while you are entranced in the book is unbelieveable. I have read 5 books by Nicholas Sparks and I intend to read everything he has out and pray he continues to share his gifts with us. Thank you Mr Sparks for a truly heartwarming and endearing storyline.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tissues a prerequisite.
Review: There should be a warning on this book informing the reader that tissue and the probability of reading the book in one sitting would be required. Through flashback, Sparks keeps the reader guessing until the end. The love cherished by Noah and Allie became tangible, a love that many have or want to experience. Share the book with others, because the love captured is similar to watching a couple in real life.
