Summary: A Tragic Love Story
Review: I am currently lying in wait for the movie to come out. I can only hope that it will be true to the book but I hope in vain that it will not be as tragic :-( The love you never thought would happen. Landen Carter and Jamie Sullivan the popular student body president known for his midnight galavantings in the graveyard and the conservative preacher's daughter who works the phrase "the Lord's will" into every sentence. She is actually a stereotype that I can relate to because I am a preacher's daughter. Anyway it seems like Landen is doomed to boredom around this girl but slowly she seems to grow on him and on the reader. You feel the emotion in the book. I bought this book and ate supper and sat in a cozy chair with it in my hand and had finished it within a few hours I could not bring myself to put it down. I will not go into detail but to say that the ending of this book had you in tears and you felt as if you too had lost something. This book is fitting for teenage girls with a high vocab or understanding (like me)all the way to grown up ladies. The sensitive guys might like it too but it's definitly not a macho book. I hope you enjoy the book! Maybe I'll see you at the movie Take care bye!

Summary: My favorite!
Review: I thought this book was one of the best that I have read in a long time. I have already read it twice and I'm sure there will be many more times I pick up "A walk to Remember". I have read other books by Nichalos Sparks, and I think, by far, this one is the best. I give it two thumbs up, and I can't wait to see the movie when it comes out.

Summary: This was a good book
Review: I originally ordered this book because I was ordering another book off amazon and it's cheaper to order a few things with shipping and handling and I also saw a preview for the Mandy Moore movie the same day, so I figured "Why not?". I was really suprised when I read it because surpassed my expectations by about 100% :) This book had so many emotions, it literally made me laugh and cry during one sitting while reading the book. I suggest this to every teenage girl because it is such a feel-good book it can pick up your bad day.

Summary: A Walk To Remember
Review: The book A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks has to be one of the best books I have ever read. It is a loving story that fills you with all kinds of emotions. This is a love story that tugs at the heartstrings. I would say that this book is aimed more at a female audience. Because of its length and vocabulary I would say that it could be read by people of many ages. Young and old girls alike will love this book.
The plot of this book was very well thought out. The rising action is leading you up to the point of whether or not the two young leads, Landon and Jamie, will fall in love. They face many difficulties along the way. Many people are looking down on Landon for being with Jamie because she's not the coolest girl around. She's a do-gooder and loves to read the Bible. When these two finally fall in love the author hits you with a very unexpected turn. Nicholas Sparks used a lot of foreshadowing and direct characterization to get his point across. At one point in the book, Jamie says she won't go out with Landon unless he promises not to fall in love with her. The book puts out the idea that we shouldn't judge others by outward appearances. We should get to know someone before you write him or her off.
This book stirred up many emotions. I felt sorry for Jamie that no one really knew who she was or all that she was facing. I felt angry that the young people of the town looked down on her when all she was doing was being a good person. I felt so happy when Landon admitted to Jamie that he was in love with her. The book almost brought me to tears at the end. I won't give away the ending, but it was really moving.
My overall impression was that this was a great book with a great message. It follows the life of two teenagers both going through a great change in their lives. They get to feel what it's like to be in love and to lose. Through the whole book I was rooting for them to get together. When they finally did I couldn't believe how it was all to end. All I can say is that I loved this book and would read it again in a second.

Summary: Love, Hope, Faith
Review: I glanced at "A Walk to Remember" because of the title, read it because of the blurb, and made it one of the very few books I own because I loved it after I read it. I'll admit, I figured out the ending very early into the book. But I loved the book so much that didn't hurt the reading one bit. The whole story is wonderful and I've read it several times since.I'm not a fan of Sparks- I've read "The Notebook" and the blurbs & reviews for his other books but didnt like any of them. But "AW2R" is a very touching, moving story about hope, faith, and love (the 3 things in live you should never to lose) which I still read every now and again. It's one of the best books I've ever read. If you like Sparks' other stuff, you'll like this. And if you're like me and the subject matter touches your heart, you'll really love the book.

Summary: Touching
Review: This book is the only book that has ever made me really cry. It is heartwarming and very sweet. The main character really becomes a man as the story progresses and you begin to like him whereas in the beginning of the book he isn't likeable, but is a typical teenager. It was a very easy read and very hard to put down.

Summary: Emotional Capture
Review: Amazing book....lol..I'm a grad student and the semester just let out...so I was definitly not looking to do any more
reading...the book caught my attention (...)...so I gave it a once over
[and bought it] I picked it up @ around 11p, thinking I would read one or two chapters, and ended up awake at 2a, crying my eyes out and hugging my teddy bear...it was often poignant in bringing out a
realistic quality that often gets lost in these fiction novels...the characters are created with care, each having traits
that seem true to life...plus the author was true to the time and setting of the novel...Sparks did a tremendous
job...the scenes were touching and reminiscent of even the classic 'Love Story' by Erich Segal...I am very
interested to see how they will create the movie from this....more often than not, unfortunately, the movie falls short
of the expectations of the readers...I'm not saying it won't be good, but it is unlikely to parallel the emotional
catharsis that Sparks creates in "A Walk to Remember" =o) I am interested to see the musical numbers they
choose and the powerful scenes they pair them up with..if the screenwriters and producer can recreate the love
story that Sparks wrote with the same simplicity and yet intensity, then I predict that the movie will definitly be a true
triumph (...)...If you have a
chance to read it, no matter the age, background, and even sex, you will surely be touched.
Enjoy fellow readers.

Summary: A Classic
Review: I have never read any books by Nicholas Sparks before this one but after finishing "A Walk to Remember" I will. It's a classic, touching love story that I couldn't put down once I started. I recommend it for absolutly anyone! I am in high school so I related well to some of the things Jamie and Landen were going through, but I must say, you can be 17, or 71 to enjoy this book, it's so heartfelt and it really makes you think about your own life. Wonderful book. I also thought the ending was done quite well...
