Summary: Add The Wedding to My Favorites List!
Review: The Notebook and Shade of the Maple by Kirk Martin are my all-time favorite novels, and now I can add The Wedding to that list! Found information on signed copies at kirkmartinbooks.com and nicholassparks.com. Nicholas never disappoints - what a moving, inspiring story.

Summary: Save yourself some time
Review: I would say that N. Sparks is my favorite author, but this book has made me begin to wonder why. I read the Notebook in two days. I just could not get into the "The Wedding" story (there really wasn't one). Maybe I am just at the wrong place in my life, but reading about 2 empty-nesters going grocery shopping, making phone calls, and running errands is just not that interesting. The story finally got started in the final 4 pages. Maybe I have read too many of his books, but I have always found him to have a true talent in holding back just enough information so that you never really know what is going to happen. I knew the ending of this book before I was halfway through. I would not recommend this book unless you happen to be an empty-nester with some time to waste. (Sorry if this is too cruel.)

Summary: Mediocre, at best!
Review: This is the first Nicholas Sparks books I have read and if, as some have complained, this is too much like his earlier books, then I am certain it will be my last. First and foremost, this is an unrealistic and forced story that could only happen as fiction. Our hero, Wilson, by his own admission, was distant, lacking in warmth or spontaneity, and somewhat unresponsive as both a husband and father. He relied on his wife, Jane, to fill in for him in both their marriage and the family while he pursued his career. However, after forgetting his 29th anniversary, he has a watershed moment in which it occurs to him his wife may no longer be in love with him. He "decides" to change, and suddenly becomes the sensitive, romantic and thoughtful husband Jane didn't have the good fortune to be married to for the first 29 years of her marriage. The new Wilson is simply filled to overflowing with loving gestures, words and thoughts. And, just like magic, Mr. Wonderful does all this without a single hour of therapy!It only it were that simple.

Summary: A wedding of great writing and heart
Review: The Notebook and The Bark of the Dogwood are two of my all-time favorite books. Now, add The Wedding to that list. I plan to read ever Nicholas Sparks book there is since I haven't gotten a bad one yet! The Wedding is a wonderful and moving novel. It reminds the reader to not take familiar relationships for granted and to treasure each moment together. Highly recommended!

Summary: The bells are ringing
Review: Three books that I recently enjoyed were (obviously) THE WEDDING, one called THE LOVELY BONES Alice seabold, and a fantastic and stellar collection of stories about anything and everything titled THE CHILDREN'S CORNER by Jackson McCrae. But I have to say, "Wedding" was my favorite. by Nicholas Spark's "The Wedding" is the long-awaited companion book to "The Notebook". "The Wedding" is a story of an ordinary man who is forced to face a horrible truth: that his wife of thirty years no longer loves him. The protagonist, Wilson, goes to great lengths to win back the love of his life. Spark is known for writing breath taking love stories with a twist that will pulls everything together. He definitely achieves this effect in "The Wedding."

Summary: One of the Best Romance Novels Ever!
Review: Nicholas Sparks has done it again with his book "The Wedding". As the sequal to "The Notebook", "The Wedding" had alot of expetations to live up too and it met every one of them. In this book you see the love of Wilson and Jane Lewis (The oldest daughter of Noah and Allie Calhoun) rekindled after thirty years of marriage. Wilson and Jane's oldest daughter, Anna, announces to her parents that she is getting married to her love, Keith, and would like for her wedding to take place on her parent's anniversary.
While the book talks about the details that go into planning the wedding, it's main theme is everlasting love. This is shown through Noah and Allie, whom he now believes is the swan, and through Wilson and Jane and their marriage that is still going strong after 30 years.
Everyone should read this book because of the fact that it is amazing how Nicholas Sparks puts an unexpected twist on the end that will keep you hooked untill the last page!

Summary: Such a disappointment
Review: It took me months to read this book because I couldn't get into it! After reading The Notebook, what a let down! Didn't Noah and Ali die at the end of The Notebook? Not in this "sequel". Ali is gone, but Noah made the sequel. Overall, I was just not intrigued with this predictable book. I guess Nicholas Sparks had beginners luck with The Notebook.
