Rating: Summary: Romantic Review: this novel was one that i could not put down! Of course I am a die hard romantic as well so if you are one then this is a novel you must read!
Rating: Summary: If you HATED Bridges of Madison County You'll hate this too Review: This book made me want to puke. It is poorly written and an insult to the reader's intelligence. Nothing is left to the reader's imagination--rather, all is spelled out for you lest you miss an unsubtle nuance. Not worth the time it takes to read, which isn't much.
Rating: Summary: The Best Review: A Walk to Remember is a beautifly written heartwarming story about a love that overcame everything. I don't know what else to say besides that it was the best book I ever read.
Rating: Summary: REVIEW RATINGS UNBELIEVEAB LE Review: Three pages into this book, I found myself checking to see if it was age-specific for teenyboppers, or published years ago, before Sparks hit his stride in Time in a Bottle or The Notebook. The poor, amateurish writing was extremely disappointing. I did finish the book, first because it was just a few pages and I read it in a couple of hours, but secondly, to see if there were any surprises in the ending. Unfortunately there wasn't. I will be much more cautious in purchasing any of his future books.
Rating: Summary: Great book Review: Even though there is nothing that jumps out at you in this book, I thought it was a smooth read. I really looked forward to everytime I had a chance to read it. I loved the character develpement. It really makes you appreciate the things you have as well.
Rating: Summary: a walk to remember, review Review: This book, this story, really gets to your heart and has such an immense impact on the way you feel about certain things and all of a sudden, you come to realize that certain people can have the magnitude to change your actions, your personality, and your life for as long as you live. It also touches various morals and lessons that you don't get any day. It is a nice reminder to not take things for granted. I really enjoyed this book, if you didn't figure that like ten sentences ago.
Rating: Summary: Least of Sparks Review: Of his three books thus far, I found this to be the one I least recommend. The story is touching, but not really "believable" enough to capture me emotionally. I still would recommend reading it if you are a Sparks fan, but of the three, it comes in last place.
Rating: Summary: A Great Read Review: If you are looking for a book that it a quick read with a wonderful story, this book is just right for you. This is the first time I read any of his books. I picked it up from my parents house and began reading it and could not put it down. I cried through most of the novel as Landon and Jammie developed their relationship. I am a devout Christian and the references to God and the bible and how it ties into life and having a fulfilled life was very important in the central theme. God was the center of it all and made a miracle come true. It was excellent.
Rating: Summary: "A Walk" in Slow Steps Review: Having read Nicholas Sparks other heartfelt tomes, "Message In A Bottle" and "The Notebook", I was advancedly prepared to read his newest tearjerker. Yep, I had the Kleenex with aloe handy.However, "A Walk To Remember", seemed more like trippingly slow steps of two teenagers finding each other while pushed together during a Christmas play. I wanted to like this book, I really did. Maybe it was me. Maybe it was an unoriginal plot of boy meets girl, boy starts to take on lifes impending adulthood. I just could not wrap myself around Landon Carter and Jaime Sullivan. I might attempt to read it again...when I am in the mood for Sparks' emotional coupling of humor and remembrance. Still worth the buy. Thanks for your interest in my comments--CDS
Rating: Summary: Not His Best Work Review: I was very disappointed after reading this new Nicholas Sparks book. (I cried all throughout his book The Notebook.) After such a big smash hit with The Notebook I thought that this book would bring about the same types of feelings (romance, true love, caring) that The Notebook did. Boy was I wrong....Don't get me wrong the last 20 pages or so were emotional, but the beginning of the book lacks direction and fails to grab the reader and pull you in....I am not giving up on Mr. Sparks yet since The Notebook is #1 on my favorites list, so let us just hope he takes longer to think the emotions and the characters through next time
