A Walk to Remember

Rating:
Summary: His best yet; triggers all emotions; moving; get the tissues
Review: His own favorite and mine. Nicholas said this is fav. and I can see why. Not as tragic as Message, but sad in it's own way. Very heartfelt and moving story, he based on his sister. Knowing that his stories are tied so closely to his own life, you can't help but feel you know him. I'm waiting for the next and just hope it takes longer than 2 hrs. to read...I hate finishing his books and having to wait for the next! Happy to have such a talented and deserving best selling author living in NC, esp. including our little towns in his creations!

Review: This book excites a person to look deeper than the surface of a person. It causes them to see more. That is the success of this book.

Summary: Captures the struggles of growing up
Review: A Walk To Remember starts out like a high school essay, but then pulls you into a beautiful story of life, love, growing up and learning to make the RIGHT decisions. I think the book teaches us all a lesson about human nature and looking past our "illusions" of WHAT we think people are about and taking the time to learn WHO someone really is. A touching story and entertaining read.

Summary: The love story of our dreams
Review: After having met Nicholas Sparks today at a signing and hearing him talk about the inspirations for his books I am even more moved by them. He commented today that Jamie is based on his sister although he has taken literary liberties in changing the time to the 1950's among other things. Nicholas Sparks has a gift that allows one to escape to a place where love is true and everlasting. Thanks Nicholas. Meet him at a signing if you have a chance.. you won't soon forget him or his wonderful love stories.

Summary: A touching story of an innocent first love.
Review: Once I began reading this book, I couldn't put it down. Sparks has a wonderful way with words. He makes you want to keep reading to find out what will happen next. He kept saying things like, "You'll find out why later." I wanted to know why!

Summary: A story that will leave you wanting to take that walk.
Review: Another masterfully told story that I fell in love with and can not wait to share with my friends. I enjoy reading Nicholas Sparks because he writes the way I would talk and think...the inflections, the stutters, the WORDS...they are very ordinary and down to earth, just like most people. I kept putting the book down so I could make the story last longer. The relationship that develops between Landan and Jamie is real and watching them both grow and accept the differences in each other, and in those around them, is painful, sad, happy, endearing. After finishing the book, I sighed, wiped my eyes, and walked around with a smile on my face the rest of the evening.

Summary: Author Joel Rothschild says this is a wonderful read
Review: This was the first book I've read since I finished my book Signals which will be released in a few months. It did everything a book should do, it took me away on an adventure. It's truly a great read.

Summary: Marvelously funny! Heart-wrenching sad!
Review: You may know the guy gets the girl, but as the story unfolds you are reminded of your own thoughts and feeling when you were in high school. You laugh as Landon relives his high school years and remembers the crazy things he felt and did. Then Landon learns the secret and you become sad, angry, then hopeful right along with him.

Rating:
Summary: Another incredible book by an incredible author
Review: Again I bought a new Nicholas Sparks novel,again I cried until the very end and for hours after,and again I thought it was one of the best novels I've ever read. Each story gets better and better than the last. I'm waiting with a fresh box of tissues for the next.

Summary: No one alive can write like Sparks.
Review: I wish I could read a "Sparks" book every week. I HATE waiting on them! As with the first two, this book gives you the lump in your throat & warm fuzzies,,,but THE ENDING? I loved all but the last line of the book. Maybe I am stupid, but spell it out for me...WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GIRL?
