Summary: A Walk to Remember
Review: The theme of the book focuses on a young teen, a first love and his transition from teen to manhood. The title A Walk to Remember could be interpreted as twofold: a walk trrough early adulthood into manhood and the walk down the isle on his most memorable wedding day. The author did a fantastic job with an emotional roller coaster ride. In the beginning the reader experienced laughter to tears then later just plain tears.
The story evolved around a 57 year old Langdon Carter telling about his life at seventeen. The setting was in the 1950's in a small North carolina town. A sweet story of how a young girl Jamie changes Langdon's life forever.
Langdon Carter was a typical teen in the 1950's in Beaufort, North Carolina; he wanted to be just like all his peers. Jamie was an unusual girl in Langdon's eyes and was an unlikely person to attract his attention. Jamie was everything that Langdon wasn't.
Langdon's family was rich and affluent. Jamie's family was only her father who was the town preacher.
The main focus of the story tells how a young 17-year-old kid experiences life and evolves from a fun loving boy into a young man. The author winds the story of two teens with very different lifestyles and how each of them learns an important lesson if life. Langdon and Jamie each learn that a person is not to be taken at face velue and that a person is much deeper than what is seen on the surface. In a most unusual chain of events Langdon finds he has fallen in love with Jamie and the story ends with an unusual twist of events.

Summary: A Walk to Remember
Review: A Walk to Remember, is one novel when read you shall always remember. Once you have read this novel
you will understand what wounderfull writting style Nicholas Sparks has as a writer. You will cry from the
love and the heart break in the novel.I stumbled across this novel after watching the movie which has Mandy Moore in it. Once I fell in love with
the movie I had then proceeded to go and purchuse the novel. There are a few differences from the novel and
the movie, but in genral they are still pretty close in comparison. The novel talks about the truth and love which you will experince in your life. You will also read about
hardships that the characters go through, and that you may witness in your life. The novel is about Jamie
and she would be stereo typed as a Bible lover, and a church freak. No one really knows that she is truley
a wounderful person until Landon steps in. She is always helping no matter what happens, or whats going
on in her life. She is protected by her father though. Once you meet Landon Carter though you will see a
tere in the personalities. When Landon started to hang out with Jamie you will notice that Landon is the type of
person who only cares about the outside of a person. Mean while Landon also has to worry about his
reputation and seeing him help out Jamie starts to cause a problem. But no one really knows Jamie that
well, and no one knows whats wrong with her. The hardships that the characters go through, and then what finally ends up happening makes the book
worthy of calling a spectacular novel. The tears that you will get after reading the novel will make you
understand more about the bigger picture in genraul. Finding the truth behind it all is what is best about the
novel A Walk to Remember. Nicholas Sparks has achived the greetest thing in writting and that is showing the differnec between two different
people, and their differences can be over come. He also showed the readers what true love really is, when
two people work hard for their love. This love is very ordinary though, and you wouldn't understand how truthful
this love is.

Summary: Another Tear Jerker by Sparks!!!
Review: A Walk to Remember tells the tale of discovering pure, innocent love for the first time and then having that love returned and unexpectedly taken away. The character who tells the story, shows that even he is surprised at how his life can be changed by love. In true Sparks style, the writing is descriptive and tugs at the heart strings. Tears will be flowing for happiness and for sadness before you get to the end.
Another book that looks at innocence lost and growing up is If I'd Only Known... by Edee Wilcox. It isn't about a death, but other events change the main character's life forever. It also has a strong Christian influence as this book does.

Summary: It couldn't get any better!!!!!!!!
Review: I came across this book when my teacher was talking about the book in our college reading class. I remember watching the movie and few years ago I thought to myself/ it was a good movie maybe it's a good book. Well this book was remarkable! I even think it was better than the movie. Some parts were different like, Jamie giving Landon a bible instead of her mother's poem book, and what time period it take place in. Also some parts where similar like how they knew eachother their whole lives but not once did they talk, and the ending of the book. There was never a dull moment in the book and it made me want to keep on reading, it even made me cried at some parts. This book was about trust, honesty, love, and life. The writing technique was awesome. I think Nicholas Sparks is a great author and maybe my favorite. His books really help me capture the moment. Some parts I know that teenagers can relate to. For example,dealing with relationships, and dealing with being acccepted in high school. I also think that this book is great for anyone to read young or old because there is an important life and love lesson, but you have to read it to find out what it is. I would rate this book a five star.

Summary: Beautiful and Uplifting
Review: I saw the movie before I read the book. And while the movie told the story well, there is no comparison to the book. Jamie and Landon are the epitome of first love -its happiness and its pain.

Summary: Touching Masterpeice
Review: This book was one of the most touching stories I have ever read so far. In the beginning it was sort of tiring but in the 4th or 5th chapter it got really interesting. I thought that it would be another love story like usual until Landon finds out she is going to die and he helps her fulfill her list of things to do before she passes away. But my personal favorite part was right before the end when the two get married. I thought it was the most touching part of the book.

Summary: This book has blazing problems
Review: I have heard people praise this book for quite some time now. In order to get them to quit bugging me to read it, I checked it out from my library and read it in three days. Now, I can't say I was happy. This book seems like it was written in one night- especially because the book's quality is so bad. Anyway, I found this book to also be: - Predictable: Just like a fairy tale, I could almost always guess what would happen next. C'mon, people like to read books with twists, turns, and surprises! (Which this book didn't have much of!) - Rushed: Towards the end, ... all the events in the book were quickly rushed to that conclusion. That was seriously annoying, considering the fact that that conclusion was also just written to make the book seem a bit more interesting. -Religous: On nearly EVERY page, this book has something to do with religon. It drove me nuts! (BEWARE!) -Strange: Why Landon would fall for a perfect, sweet girl like Jamie, I don't know, but part of the problem here is that they have absoulutely no chemistry between them. I mean, half of the time they just sit and talk about the weather! Is that what real boyfriends and girlfriends do? (Though I'm not sure you can consider Landon and Jamie boyfriend and girlfriend) - Flawless: ALL of the characters were (may I say this?) PERFECT. That's right, they had no flaws, and that just made them seem shallow and transparent. Why not have some characters that aren't so perfect once in a while? I can go on and on about how bad this book was, but I'll stop here. If you're looking for a romance about two teenage high schoolers, forget this book. The plot is weak, characters are too perfect... yadda, yadda, yadda. Save your money, just don't read this book!

Summary: A MUST READ BOOK!!!
Review: "A Walk to Remember" tells a story of a 40 year old man looking back on his senior year of high school as well as his first true LOVE! Nicholas Sparks plays with your emotions and makes you want to keep on reading. There were many moments in the book where I didn't want to put the book down. I wanted to keep on reading until I found out what was going to happen next. This was somewhat of a simple book, but Nicholas Sparks has an interesting way of writing. I don't really like reading, but I enjoyed reading this novel. It took me into another world. A world that was much different from mine and a world that I could definitely learn from.

Summary: A Beautiful Love Story
Review: Always wanting to read a book before seeing the movie, I read A Walk To Rememeber before renting the movie.
I finished the book within 24 hours because it was one of those that I just couldn't put down! Being a high school senior, I related the story of HS cliques and homecoming dances. Fromt the book, I thought about my outlook on others and how I treat others who may not be in my "inner circle". There are great people outthere that we need to meet, regardless of what they wear or who they hang out with. A week ago I would have told you that Message In a Bottle was my favorite love story, but I think Sparks newer novel has won me over. If you're looking for a sweet and fast read, try this one!
