Walk to Remember, A

Rating:
Summary: A heart-warming book that changed my perception of youth
Review: After reading this book, I felt so moved that I wanted to go to the local high school and share it with the "not so in-crowd." It was poignant and heart-warming. A book that can be read quickly, but that you will want to read again and again. I think what I liked about it most, was the change in the Landon, and how Jaime helped him discover a part of himself that he never knew. A part of him, that probably in the end, kept him alive for these 57 years.

Summary: I'd rather have read something else!
Review: Never a fan of Nicholas Sparks books, I approached A Walk to Remember with an open mind. My feelings in short - this was a poor imitation of Love Story which Erich Segal published almost 30 years ago.

Rating:
Summary: How frustrating
Review: I loved The Notebook and cried over Message in a Bottle and was so looking forward to this latest novel. I read it in three hours because I kept waiting for the knockout twists of fate and remarkably crafted endings that I'd come to respect and expect from Mr. Sparks. Instead, the entire book was predictable and artificial, perhaps written in a rush, and a disappointing Sunday read. And the whole book written in a 17-year-old's voice was, well, a nice try, but weak and annoying. I hope this was a bump in the road and not a preview of what's to come.

Summary: Mawkish drivel should appeal to the sentimental set......
Review: First off, I am a man, so I'm sure my review will change no one's mind. Manipulative, silly, unintentionally hilarious junk is a shining example of why literature has been abandoned in favor of Oprah-ized delirium which seeks only to "heal" and reinforce the undue importance of marginalized peoples. Yuck!

Summary: This book talks of life and makes you feel the emotions.
Review: A Walk To Remember is a book I will not soon forget. It told of the way life really is. It had real situations that made you feel as of you were really there. As I read the book I laughed , I smiled, and I cried. This was the first book I've read by Sparks and now I'm eager to read more. This is also the first book that has ever made me feel emotions this real.

Rating:
Summary: This book was a big disappointment.
Review: I enjoyed the other two books that Nicholas Sparks wrote. This one was completely predictable. I did not laugh or cry and was not moved. The only emotion I experienced was regret for having purchased this book in hard cover.

Rating:
Summary: He has NOT done it again..
Review: I love the first two books, but this one was awful. No depth of characters, poorly written, dull voice, and extremely predictable are a few of the reasons. It seems he was writing this in a big hurry - perhaps to get on the BS list again, or he wrote it while in the seventh grade. Yes, Mr. Sparks, you know how to write a moving story, a love story from a male perspective. You just didn't do it this time.

Summary: My long wait was in vane.
Review: I had been waiting with bated breath for Mr. Sparks to write another book. After The Notebook and Message In a Bottle, my hopes for another great read, I thought, would be worth the wait. Not. I read it one sitting and found it to be very predictable and not funny or sad at all due to the pedictability. After his first two top notch books,I expected much more then he delivered.

Rating:
Summary: Not as good as his others
Review: I was disappointed in "A Walk to Remember." It was not of the calibre of his previous novels. There was not much depth to the story and it was too predictable.

Rating:
Summary: Good but predictible
Review: Ever since I read the Notebook I have been a big fan of Nicholas Sparks. I enjoyed A Walk to Remember but predictibly, everyone didn't live through the book. I do wish Mr. Sparks would write a story where he didn't kill off one of his main characters. So far this has happened in every book he has written. I ready for a change, maybe even, dare I say it, a HEA.
