Summary: My favorite book!
Review: This book is wonderful, I love it! This book is worth reading more than once! I do see one thing thats not perfect about this book, the man telling the story is 57 looking back on what happened when he was 17. The way he tells it is in a mix of words that the 17 year old and the 57 year old would use. None the less this book deserves 5 stars!

Summary: To me, this is Nicholas Sparks' best novel.....
Review: I've read Nicholas Sparks' highly rated "The Notebook" sometime ago but find the story "common" and not at all enjoyable. Since "The Notebook" is widely known as his best book (but I didn't like it at all), I decided against reading another Sparks' novel, UNTIL recently when I saw the wonderful movie, "A Walk to Remember" which is adapted from a novel by Sparks. The movie was SO good that I just had to give the Sparks novel a try. And happily, I was not dissapointed.The tender love story involving a teenage boy and girl will tug at your heartstrings and make you rethink the true meaning of love. The movie adaptation is great; in fact, I actually loved the movie better than the book but I would highly recommend the book to anyone who loves a good love story and to those who've watched and enjoyed the movie. There're some differences between the book and the movie e.g. in the book, the story's set in the 1950s but in the movie, it's set in modern day. Also, in the movie, Landon Carter's character is portrayed as a popular high school student who hangs out with the in-crowd, gets into trouble with the school authority and comes from a broken home. But in the book, his character is actually studious and homely, and his parents are still together. Nevertheless, I think that if you've watched the movie, you should still pick up the book if only just to find out the (incredible!) depth of Landon's love for Jamie even 40 years after she's gone. This is only revealed in the last 2 paragraphs of the book, but the revelation will touch you to the core and make you cry and marvel at the beauty of true love!!

Summary: A Walk to Remember
Review: Happy, sad, thrilling, and heartfelt are the words that come to mind after reading Nicholas Sparks novel "A Walk to Remember". A book that goes back to 1958 in Beaufort, North Carolina, the story is of how Landon Carter, the popular class president of Beaufort High, and Jaime Sullivan, the shy daughter of the towns Baptist Minister fall in love. Now at first Landon and Jamie hadn't even spoke to one another. When they were younger, Landon and his best buddies would hide behind bushes, and yell obscene names at Hegbert Sullivan, Jamie's father. But one class together could change everything between Landon and Jamie. Now Jamie the real innocent type, always getting good grades, and helping out at the orphanage as much as she could. Landon and Jaimie got to play the lead roles in the school play about an angel that Hegbert had written, but not by Landon's choice. His teacher nearly begged him to play the role because she had no one else to do it. But that was the spark that lit the flame between Jamie and Landon. They became very close after having spent time together so they could rehearse for the
play. After about four months had gone by, Jamie finally confronts Landon and tells him that she was diagnosed with Leukemia about seven months ago. He was devastated and was upset that Jamie hadn't told him sooner. As time went by, Jamie got sicker and sicker. Then Landon finally realized how much he loved Jamie and asked her to marry him and she said "yes", as odd as that seems for only being seventeen. But, they were in
love. Jamie's father, the town's Baptist minister, performed the ceremony, of course. The book leaves you hanging. Did Jamie really die or not? It's all up to you to decide. But the heartfelt, riveting novel is one I would recommend to anyone.

Summary: A Walk to Remeber
Review: This is one of my favorite books. I've read it 2 times already but I intend to read it many many more times. The tragic love story was awsome. By the time I finished reading it I couldn't stop crying. I give it five stars I sawit in the theaters 3 times. I intend to get it on DVD and VHS for the special features. For the people that thought it was a bad movie I think they are crazy. It is the best book and movie I've ever seen.

Summary: Winner
Review: "A Walk to Remember" easily became my favorite of the Nicholas Sparks list of published works. If you have not read this author's works, grab a box of tissue, get comfortable and prepare for an emotional train ride. No one can take you from laughter to tears as quickly as Sparks.

Summary: SO GOOD!
Review: This is such a great book! If you love Lurlene McDaniel, or just need a romantic, heart wrenching read, you just have to read this book! It is soooo good. After you read this book, you should see the movie. They are very much different, but they both have the same meaning. I loved this book, I love the cd, and I love the movie.
It is about this girl named Jamie who is a "good" little church girl, who carries around her Bible everywhere and wears plain clothes. It is about Landon, who falls in love with her despite all the "weird" things she does and believes in. It is just a bittersweet, clean, teen love story and I recommend it to anyone. Nicholas Sparks shows yet again what a great writer he can be. :D

Summary: A review from a 21 year old male...
Review: A friend of mine got me into reading Nicholas Spark's books about a year ago and I found myself a little embarrassed taking them to classes with me to read in between lectures, as they are mostly geared towards women, but I still enjoy them. I found this one to be my favorite so far (Compared to the Notebook and Message in a Bottle). It is a different touch for Sparks as he usually writes about adults. I will not review what the book was about, as I'm sure there have been plenty of reviews you can check out that have, but I will say the book was absolutely wonderful. Yes, it is very cheesy and cliche-ish, but, it reminds me of a saying, "Kill them with kindness" and that's what this book does. It is so straight forward and cliche-ish, that you can't help but like it and have it touch your emotions. From a guy that doesn't read much at all, I rarely recommend things, but, this is one I can feel comfortable recommending for anyone... Ps...as with most things...do check the book out before the movie, even though the movie is nicely done as well.

Summary: A Really Good Book
Review: A Walk To Remember was one of the best books I read. It's about this girl, who is not one of the most popular girls in school, and she gets to know a more popular guy. The guy ends up falling in love with her and she tells him that she has cancer. In the end, he asks her to marry him. She died a little bit after they got married. This is a good book for both guys and girls. Very sad but a good book!
