Rating: Summary: LIFE with MEANING Review: Everyone who ever breathed, should read this book. OK - predictable but wonderful. I loved it. It is about life for all of us.
Rating: Summary: What a wonderful story!! Review: At first, I had a difficult time getting into this book, because I had been slightly prejudiced by the other books that Nicholas Sparks has written. My favorite is "The Notebook", and I just couldn't believe that any story could be as sweet as that one. Well, I don't think that "A Walk to Remember" is QUITE as good as "The Notebook", but it comes pretty darn close! Once again, he totally captivates by creating characters that are sensitive and tender. My favorite part of the whole book is the end, and I don't want to say anything more than that I believe in miracles too!
Rating: Summary: A walk to remember Review: A quiet book for people that have lost a loved one or want to think about lifes meaning.The book will make you think of how your actions can effect another persons life.Not an exciting book ,but one you want to finish in one reading,an inspirational book every one would enjoy. Teenagers that make a difference in a lot of lives.One [Jamie ]that is about to die and the friend that helps her continue her work to help others.A good book for teenagers, parents, and how they handled some of the problems they face from peer pressure.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Quick Read Review: I read this book in one night. It was so great I could not put it down. I had to get up in the middle of the night to go into another room to finish the book because I was crying and did not want to wake up my husband. This was a true romance book.
Rating: Summary: A wonderful walk down the road Review: I really enjoyed this book. It reminded me a lot about how I felt in high school. This book will make you laugh, cry, and bring back memories. I really recommed reading this book. I was hooked right away.
Rating: Summary: The best love stories aren't always 1000 pages long Review: Short and meaningful, the love story is at once predictable and very unpredictable. It backs up the phrase, "It is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all."All in all, a beautiful story that has particular meaning for me.
Rating: Summary: A Book to Remember! Review: Wow! I really enjoyed Message In A Bottle and The Notebook, but I have to say Sparks' novels just keep getting better. This one was equally romantic as the first two, but in my mind more heartwarming and less tragic. If you've enjoyed his previous novels, or the movie Message In A Bottle, you are sure to live this one. A must read.
Rating: Summary: Started our great.... Review: The tone in the beginning was light and highly entertaining. It was great fun to get inside a 17-year old's head and see his insecurities and self-lacking insights in view of his powerful father, and perfect best friend. Landon's wit was crisp and I found him to be a very likeable character. Even his unlikely relationship with Jamie was believable. But then Jamie dropped that line: "I'm dying," and I felt like I had been jettisoned into the middle of a bad GENERAL HOSPITAL episode. From there on out, I was no longer involved in the story, but felt like I was peering over Mr. Sparks' shoulder at his computer as he typed out the rest of his book. It lost it's dimension and became very flat. He was right, however. I did laugh with him in the beginning. But not too many tears were shed. I was hoping for something more creative than the usual death scene.
Rating: Summary: Wonderful Love Story Review: This book was a great story about love and finding out the truth about yourself and others. It is also a great story of friendship and courage. It is amazing how one person can warm the hearts of so many just being themselves. The story in the beginning was a little slow but once Jamie enters the story it warms up from there. I had no idea how the book was going to end and when it finally did it threw me for a loop, I never expected it. Nicholas Sparks has a wonderful way of telling a story as if you yourself were actually in the story. I felt I was right there with Landon and Jamie. If you love wonderful love stories and are a fan of Nicholas Sparks then you will love this book. I greatly recommend this book, it is a great lazy vacation book...
Rating: Summary: I'm trying to be nice Review: I am on page 214 and am reticent to move on to 240. What a bunch of bunk! Is Nicholas Sparks the male Danielle Steel of this century? To say it was predictable would be superfluous. Nick, have you ever read a well written book? OK I picked it up at Costco for a mere 3.79 and I have at least 600 books to my name, but never have I read anything so lame.
