Rating: Summary: Touching...It Will Make You Cry Review: This book is one my favorite books that I have read. After seeing the movie starring Mandy Moore and Shane West I begged my mother to take me to purchase the book. This is must for any book fan who doesn't mind a tear-jerking story. I slightly wish I had discovered the book before the movie, because I found my self skimming it at parts because of my knowledge of the movie. I recommend reading the book before seeing it. Other than that, I loved this book and finished it in 2 days. Read this book!
Rating: Summary: A GRRRRREAT BOOK Review: SORRY IF ANYONE ALREADY SAID THIS: sorry to spoil it for the people who havent read it yet but this is wat i think ..... i think that this was such a romantic and spiritual book and as much as i love shane west in the movie and mandy moore was great, the book is MOST DEFINITELY better. i mean in the book, landon mentions that the "walk to remember" was when jamie mustered all the little strength she had and walked down the aisle with her father rite? well in the movie she walked normally just smiling prettyful. but landon's whole coming of age is very inspiring and it kinda made me think twice about my faith friends family love and life. but yea i read it every sleepless night cause this is the book that makes me cry to sleep.
Rating: Summary: Touching Review: This book was the first book that I read of Nicholas Sparks. The story line is amazing and I cried sevral times throught reading. While I found it a bit confusing in the beginning I grew to love it as the personalities of the chracters are revealed through the story. The ending touched me and I was very pleased I took the time to read it.
Rating: Summary: PLZ PLZ READ THIS BOOK Review: OKAY so you're all probably thinking "just another love story book - no thanks" but PLEASE if you miss this chance to read this amazing book by Nicholas Sparks you are missing out on a wonderful book. I can't remember how i first heard of this book - may have been on TRL- but it don't matter. i am so glad i did hear of it :-) the love between Jamie and Landon is so real and you can tell that this love will last an eternity even tho' it's a book. i wont spoil the book for those who havent read it but evry tiny detail is so pivotal and important to their love for each other and this book will jus completely move your heart to someplace you never thought it could go too!! Sparks has an amazing way of showing Landon and Jamie's love growing. It made me want to read all of his other works. This story has affected my life so much; it made me realise that life is short and should never be taken for granted. i rented this book from the library 10 TIMES and in the end i had to buy it cuz the librarian started to get annoyed with me!! SO please buy this book - this review may not have inspired you -but the book will trust me! Landon was right - you will laugh and then you will cry.
Rating: Summary: A BOOK To Remember Review: Well, i'm a 16 years old girl who isn't really into books. A few friends of mine kept talking about this book, saying it's the most amazing book they've ever read! Anyway, i thought i'd give it a try, and see what they're all on about. "A Walk To Remember" cannot be found here in Israel, so i bought it via amazon.com and i so do not regret!!! I dont think i ever will.. This IS THE book everybody have to read, whether they adore books, dont mind books or even aren't into it at all, like i used to be. Such an unbelievable, funny, sad, touching, upsetting, wonderful story! Everything you want in a book - is Right there. This is what i think, just a great book, i simply very recommend it for anyone out there...any time, any age...Hope i helped you.. and I'll end now, before i write an essay lol
Rating: Summary: A Masterpiece Review: -A Masterpiece- A nights read, a Walk to Remember is a well written book. Throughout the entire book your attention never dwindled. Unpredictable until the final pages. The book had all the ingredients for a perfect book: romance, saddness(it really was touching and you felt like it was happening to you), happiness(that was strong and really even raised your spirit), and in some parts there were parts that made you laugh. It was a book fit for people who feel down or just want a basic novel, without violence. A perfect book that shows that love can really be found at such a young age(17). And first perspectives arn't always right.
Rating: Summary: First you'll laugh...then you'll cry... Review: This book is simply remarkable. The ending is what makes this book so special. It can really be interpreted however you like. I have read this book countless times and each time I laugh and each time I cry....
Rating: Summary: The Best Book I've Ever Read! Review: This is a sweet romance story that is not trashy or bad. It is the story of Jamie, the dowdy daughter of the minister, and Landon, a rebel. The ending is very sad. This book has a message in it - To treat others as you want to be treated. The book takes place in the 1950s while in the movie, it takes place in the 1990s. If you have seen the movie, though, you may be dissapointed because although the movie's great, it's not really like the book. Book lovers, you may be dissapointed about the movie. I, however, enjoyed both and I hope my review helps somebody.
Rating: Summary: The movie was good, the book is better. Review: This is a great book. It is about a typical high school senior named Landen who has decided to participate in the school's Christmas play rather than take a harder subject that he just can't slide through. He meets Jamie, the reverends daughter, and begins to fall in love with her. It's a typical love story, but it's up to you to decide whether they have a happy ending or not. I knew the ending to the book, and I still cried for the last 2 chapters, and I didn't even cry at the movie. This book is extremely moving.
Rating: Summary: Heartwarming love story. Review: Nicholas Sparks is definitely one of the best romantic novelists around. He's as good at writing romantic novels as J.K. Rowling is at writing fantasy novels, if you have any clue on what I'm talking about. "A Walk to Remember" is probably his best novel yet...according to me. It takes place in the 1950's, and it's a story about one man recalling one year of his life as an 17-year-old guy and falling in love with the most unlikely girl in town. Landon Carter was not really known as a real "bad boy", but more like a misunderstood kind of teenager. Jamie Sullivan is the complete opposite of Landon and yet, she is the girl he ends up falling in love with. Jamie lives with her estranged old father, Hegbert Sullivan, who is a Baptist minister. She was a girl Landon had known all his life, but could never seem to imagine she would be the kind of girl he'd want to marry or love. She was kind-spirited and very religious. Jamie also had a secret...she has leukemia. Landon knew Jamie was going to die, but he still kept on loving her and they end up getting married. It is a sweet novel. Very well-written. "A Walk to Remember" is now one of my favorite romantic novels, and should be read by all those hopeless romantics out there. The characters are described and developed well, too. I loved this novel and urge everyone to pick up their own copy to read. It's also very sad at the ending...just a little warning. Grade: A
