Summary: 'A Walk to Remember' by NICHOLAS SPARKS
Review: I didn't really know at first, which book I should choose and which book could be the best for me. So I went in the next bookshop and found there some books from Nicholas Sparks. I read the resume on the back which informed me that this story is about a 40-year old man looking back on his first and possibly deepest love he had ever had. This sounds very nice to me and so I decided to take this book 'A Walk to Remember' for the reading project. As soon as I arrived at home I started reading this book and I was very impressed. I couldn't put this book down once I started to read it.
When I was seventeen, my life changed forever. So begins 'A Walk to Remember', the touching tale of Landon Carter, a typical teenage boy living in Beaufort, North Carolina, in 1958. He wants to spend as little time as possible in school and as much time as possible with his friends before going off to college. He's not likely, even in the small town of Beaufort, to cross paths with Jamie Sullivan, the Baptist minister's daughter who spends her lunch hour reading the Bible, her afternoons volunteering at an orphanage, and her summers at church camp. On the evening of Beaufort's annual Christmas pageant, Landon's and Jamie's lives are linked together, and Landon undergoes a change that will forever alter the course of his life. In the months that follows, he discovers the truths about the nature of beauty, the joy of giving, the pain of loss, and most of all, the power of love.
I can't really say what part of the book I liked mostly because I liked every part. Every page is something special where you learn more about the story. As the book is written very simply I didn't have to read the book for a second time to understand the content. The author used also words I have already known and so I have had to use the dictionary very seldom.
I really can say that I have never before read such a good book as this one. As I was so impressed about the content of the story I used the Internet to find out more about the author and his other books. Now as I know that Nicholas Sparks is the author of some of today's most memorable love stories. I will also read some of his other books like 'A Bend in the Road', 'The Notebook' or 'Message in a Bottle'. Although this story is a wonderful little teen romance. I would not like to recommend it only to teenagers but also to adults. As Nicholas Sparks gives a remarkable love story in 'A Walk to Remember', it will touch the hearts of readers everywhere. So I am convinced that everybody who is keen on love stories will also love this book.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: A Walk to Remember by Jared
Review: A Walk to Remember is a heart-throbbing, stomach-fluttering, and tear-jerking novel in which you find what true love means. Landon Carter, newly elected ASB President, needs a date for homecoming. The only problem is that is just a few days away and most the girls have already been asked. He skims through his yearbook and the only girl left that is "reasonable" is Jamie Sullivan. This year Landon had seen her in a different light, he had dropped Science and the only class that period was Drama and Jamie was in that class. Once he saw her he realized she wasn't the little 1st grader he remembers, but a young woman. He then asks her to Homecoming, and she wants to but must get her permission from her father; a priest.

Jamie and Landon attend Homecoming together and he sees how truly nice she is. When a girl throw-up in the bathroom Jamie is the 1st one to help her clean up. In the next few weeks the Drama class decides to perform the play Hegbert Sullivan called "The Christmas Angel" Landon is chosen to play the lead man and Jamie the Angel.

The big day of the performance comes, the seats are filled, even Landon's friends attended. Unfortunately Landon was not able to wish Jamie good luck and had not seen her before he began. Landon was on stage doing his seen by himself, the crowd was silent all eyes watching, then it became more silent than imaginable. You probably could have heard a pin drop, and he turned around to see Jamie different then ever before. In a long flowing white dress, her hair down with sparkles in it, and make-up on. He turned around and in the most sincere voice said, "You're beautiful." She truly was and that's where he saw her for who she was inside and out, for the first time.

I would recommend this book for anyone that is 8 and older. It teaches a great life lesson, and what kindness does to a person. This was a wonderful book and should be read by many.
The story takes you further than any; you see the true kindness of a heart. You see the love of two people grow. You see how the personal will can be the greatest strength of all. You see something unexpected, something that will make your heart tighten. It will keep you on the edge of your seat, not wanting to waste one minute. To see where this love journey begins and ends, you must read A Walk to Remember, written by Nicolas Sparks.

Summary: Fate brought love between two strangers
Review: In Nicholas Sparks' A Walk to Remember, Landon Cater falls unexpectedly in love with the preachers daughter.

Jamie Sullivan,the preachers daughter, has never really fit in. Jamie has a kind soul and a kind heart, but has no true friends.

Landon Cater is known as the school jock. He is very popular and is overall the complete opposite of Jamie. Inspite of this difference he asks Jamie to the school dance as a last resort date.

Jamie and Landon create a special bond. As a favor in return, Landon agrees to be the lead in Jamie's fathers Christmas play. It is then that he realizes her true beauty for the first time.

Landon and Jamie become very close. Landon begins to spend time with her after school. Landon even invites her to go out with him and his friends.

In the end Jamie and Landon fall in love. This story can show how fate can put aside differences and bring two people together.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Walk to Remember
Review: I thought A Walk to Remember was a good book and the book gets ***** because it was so good. Nobody really liked Jamie Sullivan, and she didn't have any friends. It got really sad at the end of the book. But it's so good that I'll probably reread it again someday.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: A Walk to Remeber
Review: I really liked the book, it was kind of sad. I saw the movie before, but I liked the book better, it had more details than the movie. It was about a 17 year old girl named Jamie, everybody thought she was weird. There was also a boy named Landon, he was very popular and in the end he falls in love with her.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A Walk to Remember
Review: A Walk to Remember was about a girl named Jamie who no one likes at school and is a great Christian. She helps out a lot and kids think she's weird. It's also about a guy named Landon who falls in love with her later in the book. If you like love stories you'll like this book.
I gave it three stars because I don't like love stories. It was ok sometimes and was usually boring for me.
