Summary: What a great book!
Review: Upon beginning this novel, I never imagined that it would touch me so. Even though it seemed a little slow in the beginning...the story quickly reels you in...and keeps you guessing until the very end. I have not had such an emotional feeling about a book in a long time! I can relate a lot to what is being said within those pages...and I think that many other readers can too. Good going, Mr. Sparks! :) I have not seen the movie yet...but I still can't imagine Kevin Costner in the role of Garrett...he just doesn't fit the part. I am thinking of skipping the movie for that very purpose. I don't want to be too disappointed! However, I HIGHLY recommend the book to anyone in need of a "GOOD" love/life story!

Summary: A great book
Review: This is one of the best books I've ever read. The movie, as usual, does the book no justice. You don't have to be a fan of love stories to enjoy this book.

Summary: This book is so touching.
Review: I never get this interested in the books that I read. It turned out I read this book in about two days, I could not put it down. I definitely reccomend it.

Summary: This book was very good!!!
Review: I loved the book, it made me really think about the relationships I have with people I care about. I realized that nothing should be taken for granted because you never know when you're going to lose what you love with all your heart. There's a time to hold on and a time to let go and I thought that this book made made the letting go gentle and real. I love the way it's written.

Summary: read the book, skip the movie
Review: I read the review from the reader in IL and had to laugh because she loved the movie and didn't like the book. I was the exact opposite. I didn't care for the movie but loved the book. In the movie, I wasn't convinced they were in love. The book was much deeper. I thought the movie portrayed him as a bitter person and I didn't see that in the book. I couldn't wait to see the movie either but when I finally got to see it, I was disappointed. The book was much, much better. However, they both ended sadly and I was disappointed about that. I like a book to end leaving me feel good, not sad.

Summary: See the movie, skip the book.
Review: I didn't think it could be done... This is the first time I have ever found a movie to be better than the book. If I had read the book first, I never would have bothered seeing the movie. The movie is a love story that left me in tears. I shed no tears when reading the book. I wasn't convinced they were in love. The impression was more that they were both lonely and needed some nookie. I say three cheers for the screenwriter who took a so-so story and masterfully improved on it.
