Rating: Summary: This is NOT just another "feel good" story Review: I received this book yesterday evening. Well, I finished it at 1 am this morning! I couldn't put it down. Anyone who has a painful memory that seems to hold them back from God will appreciate this book. It reminds us that we have a loving, forgiving heavenly Father that we have available to sooth our hurts and forgive us from the most "unforgivable" sins. We only need to reach out to Him. This is a "Must Read".
Rating: Summary: More than meets the eye Review: Simply read this book for the story, and you won't be disappointed. You'll find the well-crafted characters and unexpected storyline Angela Hunt consistently produces. The story, though, invites the reader to take a closer look. Subtly, without being forceful, the story asks the reader think about his or her response to the "note" God gave us. Enjoy it on both levels!
Rating: Summary: A great reminder Review: The author is a wonderful storyteller. She weaves great lessons in life into a richly-written novel. My father has recently been diagnosed with cancer - so ours will be a longer good-bye than those of the subjects in The Note. This book really hit home and reminds us all to tell our parents how much we love them while they can still hear us.
Rating: Summary: Disappointing! Review: This book leaves you hanging up until the very end. Even at the end, you are still left wondering what will happen in the future. Peyton is a reporter on a deadline. She has 3 weeks to get her column straightened up or she is going to be forced to go back to news. There is a plane crash, and as fate would have it, Peyton is given a note from a passenger that washed up on the beach. She is then on a crusade to find who the note truly belongs to. Along this journey, she tries to ignore her past, but when she meets the person the note is meant for, she cannot ignore what happened to her so many years ago. The proverbial tidal wave rushes over her, and she is forced to examine what she has considered the truth of her life. This ending of the book leaves it open for a sequel. If one is ever written, you can be sure that I would pick it up. This is a tale that allows everyone to reflect on what they would do if they had only a few moments left to live. I would recommend this book to everyone.
