Summary: Inconsistent
Review: I almost put this book down after the Prologue. It was poorly written, overwrought at times, and it failed to evoke the emotions Spark was trying to evoke. When I got to the meat of the story, I was wondering who had written the Prologue. Spark has a warm, conversational tone in the book that draws the reader in. The story and the characters are interesting, and you grow to care about what happens. When he's not trying to evoke an emotion, Sparks is much more effective. When he's attempting to manipulate the readers' emotions, he fails. The ideas and images are trite and hackneyed. Sparks should let the emotion speak for itself.

Summary: SHOCKED AT ALL THE POSITIVE REVIEWS FOR THIS BOOK .....
Review: I bought this book with the expectation of it matching the emotional ups and downs, ins and outs of "The Notebook" (an incredible love story that pulls at the heartstrings ... love this book so much!!) ..... IT DIDN'T ...... IT DIDN'T EVEN COME CLOSE .... I didn't get teary eyed a single time!! Its not a "bad" story, and yes, it offers insight to the wisdom of "doing good", but it sure didn't live up to its covers promises. I ended the book feeling like I just read a book my 10 year niece would enjoy. I am left wondering if I should try "Message in a Bottle" .... perhaps from the library .....

Summary: Sugary Sweet Fun
Review: To all of the critics out there, if you want Shakespeare, then read Shakespeare. But if you want to read a touching, fun, heartwarming tearjerker of a novel, then sit back, relax and let yourself get lost in A Walk to Remember. Nicholas Sparks may not be the most literary writer out there, but he touches a woman's heart the way D.M. Roman (the author of Fried Calamari) touches a woman's psyche. With Sparks, you know what you get, and A Walk to Remember does not disappoint.

Summary: A Tragedy in Life
Review: This is not a story with happy-ending. I felt so sad after reading it. Jamie's such a nice girl and I can never understand why such a fate happened to her. Life is always like that? Bad things happen to good guys? A fifty-seven old man telling a story of his past, every detail is still vividly appeared in sight. And in the latter part of the story, I just could not help but cried. I am always amazed by Nicholas Sparks' writings. For those who love this book, I would like to recommend another novel by him called 'The Notebook'.

Summary: Great Sunday Afternoon Read....
Review: I really enjoyed this book. While not as powerfully emotional as The Notebook, I still feel this was well worth the afternoon it took to read it. I am not normally a romantic at heart, but I love Nicholas Sparks' stories, and look forward to many more. I won't give anything away from the book, but was anyone else left wondering at the end? I gave this book to a couple of my friends to read to see if they thought the same thing as I did. I can't quite decide what the end means. If you were thinking along the same lines as me, let me know! I'd love to see how you interpreted it.

Summary: Sparks didn't lie (btw don't listen to the other guy)
Review: "First you will smile, and then you will cry -- dont' say you haven't been warned." This book does exactly just that. You smile... even laugh sometimes.. and suddenly break into tears... and keep on crying... until the last line... A Walk to Remember makes you contemplate once again what it means to be a human, and what is importatant about being human. The plot maybe simple, but it well serves its purpose. Expect to finish this in a few sittings while saying "not yet, don't end this yet". The bottom line is: If you loved the Notebook, you'll love this one even more; if you didn't love the Notebook, you'll love this one...

Summary: Make sure you have a box of tissues!
Review: If I had know this was such a wonderful book I wouldn't have waited for the paperback. As the beginning of the book warns, first I laughed and then I cried. The love and devotion the 2 main characters found, through each other and their faith, was truly memorable. This is one of the few books I have read where I went back and read the ending several times, because it was so touching. And the last 3-4 paragraphs blew me away - Mr. Sparks writing allows the reader to draw their own conclusion to the final outcome of the book. By far, his best to date!

Summary: A Walk In The Woods
Review: When I read Nicholas Sparks books,(and I have read them all,I know from the getgo they are not heavy reading material and that is just what Ilike. They take you into the characters and you feel with them. This book was a real tear jerker,a two box of tissues book. Good work again Nicholas Sparks

Summary: Slightly Disappointing
Review: After reading other books by Sparks you would expect more from this. Though it was not awful it certainly could have been better. In his other books you can get yourself convinced of the possiblity of them actually happening. This one is a little beyond realistic, even in my ultra-romantic mind. It is, however, quick and easy, so I'd take it to the beach if you can find nothing else.
