Summary: A Book to remember!!!
Review: I was at the bookstore looking for a book and since I'm in to romantic stuff I was looking for a romantic story, well then I saw this single book in the shelve "A walk to remember" and I looked at the first few pages and I totally liked it. So I decided to buy it, it took me three days to finish it and as I read the last page a last tear drop fell I was so touched by the way Landon Carter narrated the story. It really made me think a lot because love could really end up this way. I didn't even know that this book was going to be a movie, until two weeks later I saw the previews and I could tell already in the previews that a lot was changed in the movie, So until last night I saw the movie and it was awesome I liked it a lot but we all know that the book is always gonna be better than the movie...no doubt.

Summary: A memorable book
Review: Nicholas Sparks has a rare talent. His mastery of the written word is best described as artful, clever, crafty, insightful and filled with emotion. There is an uncommon vividness one reads within the pages of his novels. He is an artist who paints a picture with words. Good writers can create pictures in one's mind; thus, giving the reader a feeling of watching a film rather than reading a book. I see this quality within the pages of A WALK TO REMEMBER.

Another rare quality within the pages of A WALK TO REMEMBER is much more difficult to articulate. This novel brings forth an intense emotional reaction. As I read it, my mind returned to a time in which I felt less jaded. The feelings of "first love" experiences emerged. For a time, I felt younger and later yearned for a past where I embraced optimism in a loving relationship. "What could have been?" I privately asked in self-reflection.

As I ponder on the plot within A WALK TO REMEMBER, I am pulled back to reality. My critical analysis suggests that this novel is nothing special. There are no big surprises in the story line. However, the profound elegance of this novel is not in the plot, but the grandeur of the author's ability to write and seduce the reader to unconsciously digging deep for emotions rarely felt. There is a quiet intensity within these pages. I have read all of Sparks' novels. None of his other books possess such an emotional reaction.

Summary: The Sweetest Love Story Ever Written
Review: I read this book a few days before I saw the movie featuring Mandy Moore and Shane West. I wasnt expecting a whole lot from this book but I couldnt put it down! I read it in about 2 days! Its fantastic. Nicholas Sparks knows how to capture his audience. I highly reccomend this book to everyone...and when you are reading it be sure you are by your box of tissues!! Two of my friends have read the story after me and also loved it! This is a masterpiece...the best book I have ever read in my whole 12 years of life! I am going to the book store tomorrow to buy "A Message In A Bottle" and "The Notebook"! Please read A Walk To Remember.

Summary: Easy, Predictable Read
Review: Hey, when I saw that the movie was actually a book, I went out and got it. It wasn't the best thing in the world but I was curious as to how it was gonna end. I didn't really care for parts of it, like the author's writing techs and stuff, but it was a cute story...HOWEVER...it was way predictable. The people fell in love way too fast and it was just boring. The whole thing ended too early too and if you asked me, this book should have been at least a couple hundred pages. That's why I took off two stars.

Summary: This book is truly amazing
Review: This book was so good! Everything flowed together so nicely, I couldn't put it down. I think that if you are wondering weather ot not to purchase this book, I think that you should. I understand that this book might not be for everyone, but it tells the story of a fist love, that most of us can relate to, but this love is special, and as soon as you finish the book, you will realize how important she was to him.

Summary: A book to Remember?
Review: I thought the movie was wonderful, I saw it twice in a row, and cried each time.Now I can't wait to read the book! I bought Riding in Cars With Boys right after I saw the movie and thought it was better than the movie. I hope this book is even better!! I hope it is just like the movie but that it has a little more detail. It will be hard to read it and not picture Shane West and Mandy Moore, But when I bought Pearl Harbor the book, Rafe, Danny and Evelyn all looked like the Ben, Josh, and Kate, Same with In Cars with Boys. But if someone is afraid to read a book because thats what might happen, read it anyway because as you progress into the book you tend to picture the characters differently, especially if the book tells you more about them then the movie does.It's amazing how many movies are being made off of books all of a sudden, I think its wonderful because it causing more people to pick up a book and read because they want to learn more about their favorite characters. I think this book will defenitly be worth reading.

Summary: Heartfelt and well-written; Nicholas Sparks is a genius!
Review: I decided to read this novel after I saw the movie trailer on television about the film adaptation of Nicholas Spark's novel. I finished reading the book in 2 days; I really loved this book and it brought tears in my eyes as it gave me heartfelt joy and sadness at the same time. Landon Carter's narration should've been included in the film version. I was really disappointed about the movie...true they stuck with the main plot of the story, but as movies goes, they modernized the setting of the film instead of just leaving it to 1958 North Carolina. The film version should've been called "A Drive Home to Remember" - even Jamie Sullivan drove a car...that just beats the purpose of the title...and what really irritated me about this movie is that it's targeted for 13 year old teenage girls who did nothing but squirm, giggled, laughed and admired Shane West who played Landon Carter in the movie. I couldn't enjoy the movie because there were too many ooohs, aaahs, laughing and giggle that were not necessary.

First of all, it was a Christmas Play instead of a Spring Play, Landon and his friends were not that mean that they played a prank on some kid to dare him to jump and get him injured at the beginning of the movie, it was set in 1958 North Carolina instead of the year 2001. Landon asked Jamie to the homecoming dance and that's how the two started being friends and later got together to help read lines for the play. And most of all, Landon Carter narrated the whole story -- that was the most important part that should've been in the film! For those of you who have seen the film, I recommend that you read the book - you can see the difference and see for yourself which one would you rather see...

Summary: A heart felt book
Review: This is a great book it is a wonderful story about first love and falling in love. The story can be predictable but who cares, it is a story that make me cry. Not many books have done that. If you are considering reading this book do it, you will love it. I however did see the movie, and it is what they say "based on the book". If you saw the movie and you loved it then you will love this book. If you have not seen the movie, you will love this book. I certainly did.

Summary: "A walk to remember" is literature that you will remember
Review: A Walk to Remember is one of those books that I couldn't put down. I'm not much of a reader, so this book is a fit for anyone. It was easily read and goes straight to your heart. The usage gets a tad redundant at times, but at the same time the message shines through. After you read this book, you will examine your life a little closer and wonder if you touch peoples lives, just like Jamie always did. It was heartwrenchng and sentamental, a must read.
