Rating: Summary: A Book To Remember Review: This was truly the most wonderful story I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. The prologue to the book is what got me interested and the characters are what kept me reading. I have never before read anything that drew such emotion out of me. This came as a surprise because for the first 3/4 of the book I did not find myself too involved emotionally and then I suddenly could not put it down until I had finished every page. I felt as though I was experiencing it myself and it was amazing. This was a once-in-a-lifetime book experience and I can't wait for the motion picture!

Rating: Summary: Sigh! Review: Sparks's novels are my favorite guilty pleasure. I loved "The Notebook" and "Message in a Bottle," but this one surpassed my expectations. It is simply yet beautifully written, and the details are, as always, well chosen. Teens and young adults will especially appreciate "A Walk to Remember," becuase the characters are high school seniors. Sparks truly understands his female audience. There isn't any steamy sex scene or exotic backdrop, but this novel will definitely take you places. For me, the saddest part was finishing the book. It was like returning home from vacation or finishing off a piece of chocolate cake.

I wish ever guy was like Landon and that everyone was a sweet as Jaime she couldn't have been anymore more of a sweetheart. I cried for like the last 30 pages, it was well worth it. READ THIS BOOK! I promise you will love it.
Rating: Summary: A True Walk to Remember Review: A Walk to Remember, by Nicholas Sparks, is a truly compassionate love story between two young teenagers, Landon Carter and Jamie Sullivan. This novel is a story that can make you smile, but also make you cry.Landon, at age fifty-seven, is remembering the year 1958 in his hometown of Beaufort, North Carolina. At this time, Landon is seventeen years old and living the life of a normal teenager: going to school, applying for college, hanging out with his friends at Cecil's Diner, and dating sporadically. Landon is recalling the year in his life which changes him forever and the year which he will never forget. Jamie Sullivan is also a teenager at Beaufort High School but is rather different than most other people her age. She is the daughter of the Southern Baptist minister, Hegbert; she loves him very much and claims he fills the open void left by her mother who died in childbirth. Jamie walks around all the time carrying her mother's bible, helps critters, and volunteers at the local orphanage. Though she is set apart in her ways, Jamie is still a girl to which many adore and look up to. Landon could never imagine where his life would lead in the next year. It first begins with the annual homecoming dance. Landon does not have a date due to his recent breakup with Angela Clark. Over time, he begins to ponder on the idea of taking Jamie and eventually gets up his nerve to ask her. She says yes and though it was an eventful night, they do have an enjoyable evening. Life begins to turn back to normal for Landon until Jamie asks him to perform the lead role next to her in the annual Christmas play. Landon knows the play is very sentimental to Jamie because it is centered around her life. He also recognizes her appreciation and gratefulness when he agrees. In the next several weeks, Jamie and Landon spend much time together rehearsing. Finally, the time comes to perform, and the play as always is a huge success. In spending this time together, Landon begins to view Jamie in a different way. His attitude begins to change for her, and he begins to fear that he is falling for her. Through the dance, the play, spending time with the orphans, gift giving, and just talking, their feelings for one another heighten, and eventually they acknowledge these emotions. They both know each has fallen for the other in more ways than one. Landon reacts and tells Jamie for the first time, "I love you," but he does not expect what Jamie tells him in return. Through the next few months, Landon and Jamie eventually learn of how strong the bond between them is when their love is truly tested. Of course, as most love stories do, their love does stand and proves true after many devastating obstacles. As the novel ends, the reader too discovers the power of true love and begins to view life in a totally different perspective. The characters in this novel were very well rounded and delicately described. In viewing all characters, we can devise many different characteristics and traits of each. Sparks does a wonderful job in depicting the novel's characters. The power of true love and its strength to prevail is the reoccurring theme of A Walk to Remember. The reader sees the love between Jamie and Landon grow and eventually overcome. Though the theme is no readily stated, the theme is obviously noted by the thickening plot. As always, Nicholas Sparks creates a wonderful work of literature in writing A Walk to Remember. Through your emotions, he creates a magnificently plausible novel of joy and hope. I, personally, enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who wants to escape and fall in love.

Rating: Summary: A Book to Remember Review: A Walk to Remember is the most touching book I've ever read. Out of all the books I've read in the last 6 or 7 years, this is the one that I think of on those rainy days when there is nothing to do. It's a story about a young girl named Jamie who has never really fit in with the rest of the kids at school. Her father is the reverend at church and Jamie has been know for carrying around her Bible and wearing her same old sweaters every day. Landon, is a boy who is exactly the opposite. He's on the other side socially. When Jamie and Landon start working on Jamie's father's play, thy begin to get to know each other better and eventually fall in love.
