Rating: Summary: A Book to remember Review: Nicholas Sparks is the author of many best-selling novels including THE NOTEBOOK, MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE, and his latest love story, A WALK TO REMEMBER. A WALK TO REMEMBER during year 1958, which is a heartwarming story that focuses on two restless young teenage on the account of young, innocent first love, which changes the outlook of the main characters towards life. The illustrations and descriptions of each character create a vivid image in the readers' mind. Landon and Jamie, the two main characters, are teenagers that live in a quiet coast in Morehead City in Beaufort, North Carolina. During those times, when there was nothing much to do, young people would walk around barefooted on wet mosses and mud during the months of April through October. The townspeople, on the other hand, greeted everyone, even if they were strangers. In other words, they were pretty friendly.Landon Carter is a mid high school student who experiences what an average 17 year old doesn't. His father, working as a United States Congressman, pressures Landon to become a miniature version of himself by expecting Landon to run for the student body president. Due to the fathers' job, Landon was often left with his mother whom he loved more. Thus, the relationship between him and his "old man"(as Landon referred in the book) wasn't that firm. He pleases his father by running, and soon wins. Along with becoming a president, Landon obtains numerous responsibilities, including the attendance to the homecoming prom. Since his ex-girlfriend had dumped him, he has to find a date to go to the prom, to avoid embarrassment. An atypical high school girl who wears old sweaters, plaid skirts, and ties her hair up in a bun is the girl Landon decides to take. Jamie carries a bible every where she went and believed in situations in life according to the Lord's plan. Normally, she is not an approachable girl, being a minister's daughter, and not exactly a girl friend material. After the date at the prom, things turned out differently and were unexpected but successful. Willingly, Landon walks Jamie home with curiosity in his head about whether Jamie's kindness was a pretense. One walk back home led to many other late walks. Landon takes part in a Christmas play after much pleading of Jamie. After much thinking, he thinks that she has done a lot from him, and therefore feels that she deserves something too. From, acting comrades, it develops into a more intimate relationship, until actually; they can't live without each other. Jamie diagnosed with a serious illness, Leukemia does not keep the love that these two share, apart. Romance, tears, and a well-developed character like Jamie, brings what one can't expect. Their romance is definitely the talk of the book. This heart-wrenching plot touched me. I now really realize what people could do for love, and how a book, like Jamie and Landon, can't be judges by its cover. Jamie, a simple sweet girl and Landon, desiring prominence and popularity, both are different necessities. What touched me was how Jamie ended up changing Landon into a simple male like her, some one who he wasn't before. The walk after all, was a self-discovery for Landon, and his hidden love he had for Jamie. For all the lovers out there, you could possibly experience the exciting resolution that these two characters face. Furthermore, after reading the book, you could also purchase a video based on this plot, now available worldwide.

Rating: Summary: A Walk to Remember Review: A Walk to Remember is a sad but touching novel that represents the beauty of falling in love. Author Nicholas Sparks uses a tragic turn of events to prove that your true love is not only ageless but timeless as well.

Unfortunately love doesn't always come easy and a twist of fate forces Landon and Jamie to cherish every moment they spend together. The two race against the inevitable to live out the dream of anyone who has ever truly been in love. The book is one that is difficult to put down because the reader becomes emotionally involved in the story. It will leave anyone with a tear in their eye and a better appreciation of their loved ones.
Rating: Summary: Love Lasts Forever Review: Most of the time, lovey dovey romantic novels do not interest me, but A Walk To Remember was certainly a novel that I will never regret reading. Since I had seen previews for the movie version of the book, I obtained some sense of what the storyline was about. I had heard that the novel and the movie differed in many ways, therefore encouraging me to read the novel. One indifference is in the beginning of the two versions. In the movie version, one of the main characters, Landon Carter, is projected more as a troublesome kid. While as in the novel, the audience does not receive a message that extreme. Another indifference is the ending of the novel, but you will have to read the book to understand the point I am trying to make. A Walk To Remember is a romantic novel, and a great story for teenage girls to read and enjoy. It centers around two characters, Landon Carter and Jamie Sullivan. This popular high school throb and quiet outcast meet due to Landon's misdoings. Never would he had known that getting in trouble would lead him to discover the love of his life. The novel takes the reader through Jamie and Landon's journey to learn about one another. The novel's most critical moment takes place during the school play as Landon realizes Jamie's beauty she endures within. Upon discovering a sickness that Jamie has survived for quite some time, the reader is captivated into emotions of sadness, happiness, and tears, as Landon and Jamie make the most of their time together. Throughout this novel, the idea of judgmentality and openness are portrayed by these two unique characters. Jamie's Christian morals and Landon's rebellious actions combine together forming two new people into one. This novel is the best novel I have ever read and appreciated in a very long time. The central message of the novel is such an unforgotten and important meaning that it has affected the way I think in many ways. I have come to understand that life is a blessing, and to take advantage of it is just like throwing life away. I also learned that true love can last forever. Once it is found, love can continue after death. Love is the center of the soul, and the soul never dies. This novel seizes its audience so well, that I am left crying over and over again. I think this book was written beautifully and with pure heart and soul. I admire Nicholas Sparks, for I think he has written one of the best love stories throughout my time. I encourage anyone to pick this book up and read the first line, because from then on you will not be able to stop reading it. This book is five star quality with two thumbs up!!
