Rating: Summary: A Wonderful Love Story Review: A Walk To Remember is by far one of the best books I've ever read. As soon as I started reading, I fell in love with it. Nicholas Sparks does a wonderful job. He really knows how to touch your heart. This book starts out with a young man and woman who are complete opposites. Landon's a rebel, Jamie's a goody-goody. Landon says, "Jamie had never been on my social calendar, she wasn't exactly what I called attractive either." Surprisingly, the two become young lovers. We now find Landon and Jamie both saying, "I love you." to each other. It has a great tragic ending that will keep you reaching for the tissues all night long. I'm not big into reading, but I found with this book, I had trouble putting it down. This book has touched my heart in a special way that I won't soon forget. I encourage everyone to read this book. It will remain in your heart forever.
Rating: Summary: Predictable Review: I was very disappointed in this book considering how much I liked Sparks' A Message in a Bottle and The Notebook. The characters in A Walk to Remember were one dimensional. He didn't explore how his characters became the people they were. We assumed the minister was the way he was because his wife died in childbirth; but how did that affect how he raised his child, etc. Jamie's character is so flawed, uninteresting, and apparently soooooooooo nice that it's grating. I got through the book because I bet myself that Jamie's character would not be well (though it would have been interesting to see how far this kind of relationship would have gone). Definitely, not one of Sparks' best.
Rating: Summary: A Walk to Remember Review: I read a walk to remember I thought that this book was good. If you like books with action and love going on then this is your kind of book. This book is about a high school girl named Jamie Sullivan and a boy named Landon Carter. Landon has known Jamie since kindergarten, but he has never really paid that much attention to her, because she was kind of like the dork at school. During his high school year Landon was the only boy without a date so he looked in the year book and found Jamie of course Jamie didn't get asked by anyone, so Landon asked her. After awhile they started to get close and Jamie asked Landon to come to a nursing home where Jamie had volunteered. They were having a Christmas party with all the residents so Jamie decided to ask Landon if he wanted to go with her, but Landon thought that was something that a geek would do, but later Jamie conned him into it. Later in the book they start to fall in love and then Jamie breaks the news to him that she was sick. Landon thought that it was just the kind of sickness where her tummy hurt and she needed to go home and talk a nap. Jamie explained to him that it wasn't the kind of sickness that he was thinking of. After awhile of staying in bed at her house Landon asked her to marry him and of course she said yes. They got married then after that summer was over up she went to heaven. I thought that this book was good. I've seen the movie many times. Even though the movie is a little different from the book I still like them both. I think that the book was more interesting then the movie, because you got to see if from your own point of view. You could see and imagine pictures in your head, and you thought that might happen to you when you get married. It was a great book I give it 5 stars
Rating: Summary: Happy Endings Come in Many Forms Review: A Walk to Remember is one of my favorite books. I don't usually like to read but I couldn't put this book down. An easy read, it never got boring. I also saw the movie but without a doubt the book was way better having more detail and depth. A Walk to Remember is about two teenagers, Landon Carter and Jamie Sullivan. Now, Landon was your regular teenager but Jamie was not- she was a minister's daughter and liked to read the Bible and volunteer at an orphanage. She was also something of an outcast. Landon had to go to the school's homecoming dance but there was only one problem: he needed a date. He knew everyone had a date but Jamie and him, so he decided to ask her to the dance. They went to the dance and had a fairly good time and, as a result, they became friends. Landon began to feel something for her besides friendship and they fell in love with each other. Jamie had a secret though and that secret was that she was dying. When Landon finds out, he tries to make all of her dreams come true before she dies. I recommend this book to anyone who likes love stories. It has a trajic ending but, at the same time, a good ending.
Rating: Summary: A FAVORITE - bitter sweet love story Review: I Loved a Walk to Remember the best book I think Nicholas Sparks has written. The movie did not do it justice. It has humor, teenage agnst, love, compassion and sorrow.
Rating: Summary: Incredible! Review: WOW! I was in complete and utter shock, and I thought the movie was good- This is NOTHING compared to the movie, it has a mix of everything for PICKY readers. WARNING you will need to keep a box of tissue nearby! I was blown away at how descripitive "Sparks" was upon writing this book, it makes u belive in faith, love, belief, tragedy, and how dreams do actually come true!
Rating: Summary: A Story to Remember Review: A Review by Cori This book is about a place in the town of Beaufort, North Carolina. That a teenager named Landon Carter remembers his last year of high school in 1958. Where he meets a girl named Jamie who he expects to be just the minister's daughter. When he is with Jamie he starts to feel things he hasn't felt before and never thought he would feel. She also shows him kindness of the human heart. When she tells him a secret it changes what he thinks of her and life. Three things I like about this book is it is a heartwarming story that shows the innocence of teenage love, the kindness of the heart, and that people can surprise you. It is a heartwarming story because it shows you happiness of love and the pain of the human soul to love a person so much it hurts. It shows the innocence of teenage love because it shows you can love someone with all your heart, but still have the experiences and pressures of adolescents. It shows the kindness of the heart because it shows how people in the world can be good at heart where good deeds can mean the world to people. Also it can show the kindness of the heart by how kind people are in their hearts even if they don't show it. This show how people can surprise you because it is also about how what you see is not always what you get. For example Landon is surprised by Jamie when he gets to know her. I would recommend this book to people who enjoy love stories that are tragic but capture your heart. The type of readers who enjoy it would be people who like sweet love stories of teenage love. People who hate love stories and romance novel would hate it.
Rating: Summary: Representation of true love Review: The first time I thought twice about reading a book my fiance had read and shed a tear about, But the way she made it sound so meaningful I gave it a try and it has to be one of the best most heart touching novels I have read. I have a thorough colletion of books and after reading A Walk To Remember I added it to them. Nicholas Sparks really gives a truthful meaning of love through his novel in each chapter that really touches any reader who lays thier hands on the book. The love between the two characters is a bond so everlasting that romeo and juliet must come up with ideas to compete with the romance of Landon and Jamies love.
Rating: Summary: Delightful Surprise/Beautiful Love Story Review: Nicholas Sparks has done it again...taken simple everyday people with stereotype lives and made them special, outstanding,and somehow unforgettable. You laugh, cry and share embarrassment with these characters and explore human nature and then suddenly you are in the middle of a warm, special love story with a unique ending...........What a gift he has for making you feel a part of the story.....somehow understanding and relating to, but not quite grasping everything until the final turn of the pages. I have read it three times and it can still hold my attention like the first!
