Summary: A book to remember
Review: A walk to remember is a fantastic book. When I saw the previews for the movie I decided that I had to read the book first, and I'm glad that I did. It was a beautiful book; it gave you all the emotions that a good book should. You'll laugh, cry, and all of the other stuff you do in good books.
The book was well written and Nicolas Sparks really knows how to tug at your heart. It provides a christan message that you don't find in many books today, which just adds to its charm. I recommend this book.

Summary: If You've Seen the Movie- Read the Book! (Or Vice-Versa)
Review: Landon Carter is 17 years old and about to step into the shoes of the man he is going to become. The year is 1958 and Jamie Sullivan is the minister's daughter. Jamie doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the kids but that's because she is mature beyond her years. Her optimistic and cheerful personality is never ending, and she is prone to giving a helping hand to all those in need. She has faith in God's plan and is only too happy to share that with those around her. She carries her Bible wherever she goes and Landon and his friends enjoy making jokes about her and her strange ways. When Landon is paired with Jamie for the main role in the Christmas play he realizes just how special she is, what follows is the most endearing love story I have read in a very long time. It is through his selfless love of Jamie that Landon becomes the man he has become today. I will not spoil the ending for you, but theirs is a fated love that ends triumphantly, it's effects reaching out to touch the people of this small North Carolina town. This book warmed my heart. You will love these characters to the point that you feel their joy as well as their sadness. You will cry along with them for their losses and you will cheer them on as they forge ahead. This is a wonderful book and certainly worth your time.

Summary: Those Tender Years
Review: I really liked this book. The author is very good about
pulling the reader into the emotional discourse of the
story. I have read one too many dry witted well executed
books of late. It was a nice change of pace to read a
story in which I found an emotional attachment with the
characters. It's an old story, with familiar hooks, but it
worked for me.

Summary: The plot started 180 pages into the book.
Review: My friends and I all read the same copy f this book withen a week. I haven't seen the movie, but I wanted to read the book. The first 180 pages are introduction. The next ten pages are the climax and ending. And the ending wasn't that great anyway. There were no clues leading up to the why certain things happen at the climax, and the things that do happen are two pags before the climax. Pls, I wish this book was more historical fictiony. If I didn't know it took place in the 50s, I would have guessd it took place now. I don't really reccomend this. My friends said it was really sad and cute, but it wasn't at all. Read OUT OF TIME by Caroline B. Cooney.

Summary: If you like the book, then you'll absolutely love the movie
Review: When I first bought the book, I thought, "oh, no! another boring, sappy teen romance." I couldn't have been more wrong. This book is a coming-of-age story of Landon Carter, a rebellous senior in high school, and Jamie Sullivan, the intelligent, God-fearing girl who everyone makes fun of. Landon slowly begins to fall in love with Jamie as he spends more time with her after having to star in the school drama and after she convinces him to help out at the orphanage. He slowly sees her transform in his mind from a sweet, innocent, old-fashioned girl who doesn't care what anything thinks about her to someone who has faith in him and whose energy and love astound him. Together, their love for each other helps them to battle obstacles that cross their paths. Landon's immaturity and rebellousness gradually fades as he realizes how much he needs and loves Jamie. A guaranteed tear-jerker that will make you wanting a Landon of your own. I also highly recommend the movie even you don't like the book. The movie is absolutely incredible.

Summary: A wonderful book
Review: I just watched the movie and immediately set out to buy the book version of the movie. The movie was very good, but sad. I just had to see if the book version could live up to the movie verson; it did and actually surpassed it. Landon Carter and Jamie are a wonderful example of true love. While this book was a little unoriginial, it did not affect the quality of the book at all. It somehow made the predicatbleness into a good thing while reading this book. You'll want to read this book in one sitting I'm sure, but remember to bring a box of tissues for the end of the story. It's a hearwarming story that teaches us about love, happiness, change, and finally loss. Jamie changed Landon into a good person, and everyone should follow her example!

Summary: A Walk not worth remembering....
Review: To my disappointment, "A Walk to Remember" left me puzzled on how a writer gifted enough to pen "The Notebook" could turn out such a mediocre novel. This story is slow, predictable and lacks the creativity and story telling worthy of a best selling author. There is little to no character development and plot suspense. "A Walk to Remember" demonstrates a writer producing a novel which can easily adapted to the Silver Screen. No need to read this book... just wait for the movie.

Summary: Painfully Cliche
Review: I admit, I read the thing in one sitting. I was mainly curious to see if the character of Jamie would develop at all, or if she would remain the insanely non-human kid that she was in chapter 1. (Which she did.) Jamie annoyed the heck out of me...NO ONE is that perfect. She didn't have a single fault, which made it really hard for me to relate to her. I mean, I understood the whole reject-from-society thing, and the love for her father, etc, but seriously, EVERYONE has some insecurities. She didn't. Also, the chemistry between her and Landen was seriously lacking, and the development of Landen's character was really cliche. One day the only thing that matters is that his friends don't see him with Jamie, the next, he's professing his undying love to her. Also, it was freakishly predictable from the very beginning. Don't get me wrong...A Walk to Remember is a nice story if you're really bored and strong enough to handle the corniness, but apart from that, I think my seventh grade cousin could have written it just as well as Nicholas Sparks.
