Summary: Unspected twist in life
Review: A walk to remember, is an extraordinary and touching book. It is a sweet and romatic tale of young love.This tale deals with the pain and joy that two adolescents go through.This is a very sad and depressing story, that you won't soon forget.
This story is about a girl named Jamie and a guy named Landon.Landon was a popular kid in school, on the other hand Jamie was a very shy girl.Landon dated many girls in school, he even came to think that he was in love with one of them, and he soon found out that they are not what he wanted. He then suddenly fell for Jamie the girl he would never hoped to fall for. Jamie made him see the world as it is. There lives were great even though Jamie's father was not happy with their relationship.
One day Jamie fainted, she was taken to the hospital. While in the hospital she was told that she had leukemia. After this surprising announcement, Jamie's and Landon's life changed because Jamie could no longer do some of the things she used to do. Jamie was suffering occasionaly hair lost and dizziness. Landon always stood by her side supporting her in everything that he can. He did many things to make her happy. He once took like four days to try to build her a telescope, which was what she always hoped for. As the days passed she felt weaker and her and Landon felt more in love.
One day Landon proposed marriage to Jamie, with her father's approval. After a few days they both got married in church. They lived very happily. Landon dedicated most of his time caring for Jamie until her death a few years later.
I would recommend this tragic yet spiritual love story to anyone who could handle situations like this. This story starts calm and after Jamie discovered she had leukemia, which was the turning point in the story, the story becomes very tense.

Summary: Ugh!
Review: I read this for a book group, and we generally agreed that it was terrible. Not Sparks' best work, emotionally manipulative, and not even very well written. The foreshadowing was as subtle as a brick on a 3-layer chocolate cake. On a more personal note, I myself could do with a lot less god in a novel, and a whole lot less deus ex machina. If you're the kind of person who gleefully embraces the kind of emotional manipulation that characterizes both Hallmark TV Movies and Hallmark commercials, then this is right for you. Otherwise, it's a good one to skip entirely. I give it 1 star because you can read it in less than 3 hours if you're a fast reader, so at least the agony is over soon.

Summary: Even Better Than the Movie!!!
Review: This splendid novel written by Nicholas Sparks has once again taken my heart utterly after the Message in the Bottle(by Nicholas Sparks as well). While YOU may regard this book simply as another sticky romance story, I read it and was on my knees crying for the saddest and most sensational outcome of the story.
Nicholas Sparks wrote this story as though as he is telling a tale; it¡¦s casual and gives a sense of etherealness. He casually leads the reader through the sceneries and to a point of climax where the Landon Carter decides to marry the love of his life Jamie Sullivan who is also dying from leukemia. This book is inevitably the most tear-earning novel I have ever read followed by Message in the Bottle. The greatest lesson I learned from this book isn¡¦t the heroic sacrifices for love, but from the character Jamie Sullivan. She loves life and tried to live her last bit of life to the fullest. Her passion for life is the greatest lesson for all of us. Jamie is the most cheerful person that I have ever known; she is so cheerful that it almost seems saintly and ethereal. She possesses the greatest affinity with people that I have ever seen. Jamie¡¦s entire life was a misunderstanding for everybody. This thought-to-be-eccentric girl ended up loved and felt sympathetic towards to by everyone.
After reading this heart-reaching novel by Nicholas Sparks, I put the book down and went up to my parents to tell them how much I love them. Yes, this is how magical this novel is. It leads you to a realization of how temporary things can be, and thus having the urge to show your love and passion in every possible way. Read this novel and find out the amazing things it could do to you!

Summary: Young Love
Review: The book, by far is amazingly better than compared to the movie made based on the book. I had always been a reader, and I lost my love through reading over a three year period of time. By reading this book, I gained the love back, so this book was definatly a conversion point for me. Every young adult should pick a copy of this book to read it, to share what true love is about. One of the best.

Summary: Super Story!
Review: This book was truly remarkable! I saw the movie when it first came out but after just finishing the book, I loved the book more. It really is a tear jerker, a great rainy/snowy day read. The story line was just wonderful. I would recommend this book to many others and will read it again soon!

Summary: Heart Aches
Review: Have you ever had your heartstrings pulled so hard that you tear up and whimper inside? I have... this is because of the wonderful modern day romance novel, A Walk to Remember written by Nicholas Sparks. Landon Carter, the seventeen year old, city boy protagonist gets very confused about life and especially love. He thinks he has fallen in love several times. Landon Carter learns what true love is. He falls in love with Jamie Sullivan, the minister's daughter. Also known as the class "geek" and "weirdo" because she helps everyone she can. Is helping people really a crime? By falling in love with Jamie, Landon finds out the true, kind, wonderful person Jamie is inside. Landon Carter deals with a devastating conflict about love. He becomes truly hurt deep down inside when he finds out his one and only true love has leukemia. Will Landon reject Jamie because he feels so guilty about being so healthy yet she's dying? Some people back right away when they find out about their loved one being deathly sick. Is this because of their own fear or because they are greedy and only want the best from their loved one?
Nicholas Spark's romance novel is a wonderful book. I really enjoyed reading it. I loved that the story was based on how a seventeen year old found his first true love, but it wasn't too gushy. I thought that Nicholas Sparks showed how Landon had many different emotions. For example, Landon fell in love with Jamie and showed lots of affection, and after he felt so upset when he found out Jamie had leukemia. Nicholas Sparks made you not want to put down the book but keep turning the pages. I liked how I felt the emotions that were going on inside of Landon. I saw every image that went inside his head, the regrets that he felt, and finally, every tear that fell down on his face. Nicholas Sparks made me laugh, cry and enjoy his wonderful romance novel. I don't think anything in the story itself should change. Although, I do have one thing that I didn't like. I didn't like how Jamie had to die, but then again that was part of this wonderful romance novel.

Summary: One of Sparks' best novels
Review: Langdon Carter is a typical teenager of the late 50's and as such he joins his classmates in looking down on a devoutly religious girl in his class, Jamie, who favors brown cardigans and wears her hair in a bun. The book shows an unlikely relationship between the two, first as co-leads in a play, but later as something much more. Nicholas Sparks displays an uncanny ability to climb inside his 17-year-old main character's head and make him sound real. He delves into themes of life, death, and faith with a deft hand and leaves the reader with a lot to think about. This is definitely one of Sparks' best books.

Summary: A Book To Remember
Review: At first I thought the book was really boring, but after awhile I really got into it.Towards the end (in the last few chapters )the book really got to me. It is a love story where the female character discovers that she has cancer. At the end of the book, they get married and the girl dies. After the book I decided to see the movie,I discovered that the book is nothing like the movie.So if you want to see the movie A Walk To Remember, I Recommend reading the book first.(also if you have read the book see the movie)

Summary: LoVe ThE bOOk, LoVe ThE mOv!E...
Review: A Walk to Remember... Obviously the title of this book tells us what is going to happen after we have read this book. A Walk to Remember did not only capture our hearts but it's also a book you won't soon forget.
This book written by Nicholas Sparks had reveled true love that had change the main character Landon Carter's life. Landon Carter was simply nothing at first. He had nothing good to write on his University application. So he had to run for the student body president. After than his life starts to change. Then he was in the school play which also made him see more things in a different way. Finally what had change his point of view most was Jamie Sullivan, the girl who he least want to fall in love with.
Jamie Sullivan was like an angel who always sees life beautiful. She had showed Landon how happiness and pain of life is. People always see her weird, including Landon (at first) but finally Landon see the inner Jamie and finally fall in love with her.
Landon after fell in love with Jamie had decided to scarify himself to her but then he found out she was dieing. He had done everything to keep his best memories with her. After they had married, eventhough she was gone. To him she will always be there till the last day of his life.
This book had touched me in everyway. This book had made me cry again and again. Nicholas Sparks have the skills to build your emotions to climax then your tears will run through you face. I'm inspired by this book. Then i look back to my own life. Infact along the path that i had walked i have met good and bad people. They are the ones who teach me the good and bad of life.
The movie is not 100 percent like the book which is good because it gives you passion to want to read how the book is as well. Even though the movie did not make you cry again and again it sure does make you cry and want to watch again.
