Summary: A Heartfelt Journey Into 1958 Beaufort, North Carolina
Review: After viewing Mr. Adam Shankman's film version to Mr. Nicholas Spark's novel, "A Walk to Remember," I was not enthralled fully neither to the film nor the novel; however, the novel surpasses my attention over the film starring Mandy Moore as Jamie Sullivan and Shane West as Landon Carter.As always, when books transform into theatrical features films, original elements of the books are lost and things change to appeal to a certain audience. Major differences between the novel and the film is that the former was from first person perspective of an aged Landon Carter while the latter is from third person perspective. First person works of literature has always appealed me simply because I am in the mind of Landon Carter reading and knowing his thoughts. The novel captivated me particularly in character development--I was able to see Landon Carter and Jamie Sullivan. This is the area where I had the most pleasure. I designate faces of the closest people to mirror the characters in the novel. As a reader, I became director of my own "A Walk to Remember." Shankman's "A Walk to Remember," is set in present North Carolina; however, in the novel, it is 1958 North Carolina. I follow Jamie and Landon on their Homecoming dance; I observed them at their first date at the restaurant; I was also present when Jamie informed Landon of her illness and ultimately, I was there at their wedding along with the rest of the folks of Beaufort. It was a heartfelt journey into 1958 Beaufort, North Carolina. The scripture from 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 was the central theme to "A Walk to Remember." It touched my heart when I read it and it is immensely well-defined definition to what "love" is. "Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away" (1 Cor. 13:4-8, NASB). Bravo Mr. Nicholas Sparks-for a great, well-written novel!

Summary: The Best Book I've Read, No doubt
Review: This has to be the best book I've ever read! It's heart-warming, inspirational, a tear-jerker, and makes you look at love/life through a whole new perspective. It's about a young man who falls in love w/the most unlikely girl that he would ever date, Jamie, a preachers daughter, who is free-spirited and just a great person. This book showed a meaning that will stick w/ us forever- a lesson that needs to be learned, and through the book, you see these two people go through the experiance of life and loves unpredictable miracles.

Summary: heart warming
Review: I work in a book store and I read whenever I can. A Walk To Remember was my first book by Nicholas Spark and it definitely pulls all chords of the heart. A sentimental and romantic love story , this novel makes one remember, that there are so many lovely ways to consider life as a precious gift and to make every effort to make it truly beautiful. Though the story at times has certain resemblance to Eric Segal's "Love Story", it is different and unique in its own way. A must read for all those who believe in the power of love.

Summary: An all-time favorite
Review: I first became interested in this book when i heard the movie was coming out. Im the kind of person who likes to read books before I see the movie. Therefor i started the book one afternoon and could not put it down. It told a story of a young Landon Carter who didnt care about grades or the future. Soon he stumbles across the unpopular Jamie Sullivan. Jamie teaches Landon alot about Friendship, Faith and even Love. Read this book but be ready with a box of tissues. When your done with the book... go ahead and rent the movie. Its a great story.
