Summary: not particularly impressed
Review: I read A Walk to Remember at the frantic insistence of my best friend who, after reading it in one sitting, proclaimed it the best book she'd ever read. I, however, have yet to conclude why everyone is so in love with this book. Yes, it's a very sweet (though sometimes very cheesy) love story, but it was so predictable that it was almost dull. Sparks's foreshadowing leaves absolutely no room for surprises. If you're a diehard fan of love stories, you'll probably like it...otherwise, I'd pass.

Summary: Wonderfully Written Sad in an Uplifting Way...
Review: I read this book after I saw the movie. It was excellent and finely written. It brought out more emotions and pulled many more heartstings than the move. This book is a definite page turner. Once you start you cannot stop! If you are going to read a book let this be the one!

Summary: A Walk To Remember
Review: I chose to read this book because the movie was out and it caught my attention. The comerical was interesting and I became wildly curious. The last time that I saw a commercial and made me want to read the book very much was never. I couldn't wait until the next delivery at Borders arrived so I could get the book. To me, it was a must have kind of book, and I wouldn't let anyone stop me from gettin the book. I was determined to buy the book and read it for myself.
The main charcter of this book is Landon Carter, in fact, the book is in his point of view. Landon is a troublemaker whom parents don't want their children to hang around. One day, a play forces him get closer to Jamie Sullivan, the social outcast of the school. Soon, Landon falls in love with Jamie, the problem is that Jamie is a God freak and thats what makes her an outcast, and he doesn't want to ruin his reputation. One day, Jamie finally confronted him. Jamie was diagnosed with lukemia in the summer and only had couple months to live. Landon askes Jamie to marry him and couple weeks later, they were married. To him, Jamie was a miracle that God had brought to him.
I like this book because when I finished reading it, I thought that the book was so sweet. Everything that Landon and Jamie had gone through seemed like an everlasting list of mean cruel things that Landon had done to Jamie. In the end, Landon found the answer that he was searching for. Jamie didn't live the best life in the world, but she was always happy with what she had. To me, the book had a moral and was so sad, but they overcame their obstacles in.

Summary: one word: wow.............................
Review: its wierd, you always hear people say "a book for all ages" but its rare to actually stumble upon such a book that can respectfully be called as such. But I found myself describing this "love story" just that. You smile, laugh, and cry all in one when reading this book. In truth whether you are 8 or 28 or even 58, you find something to connect to. And I am not writing this review because I saw the movie but because this book is genuine. not often can you find a book that feels genuine. so fairy-tale like , but so realistic at the same time, so heratbreaking but so refreshing.....one last bit of advice: trust me on this one, you won't regret it

Summary: The best novel I've read
Review: This book is by far the most interesting book of all. It tells the tale of then 57-year-old Landon Carter in 1999. In the prologue, he revives the memory of being 17, the most meaningful year of his life.
It was this year when he met Jamie Sullivan, the quiet, goody-two-shoes and always wearing her hair in a bun. She was the daughter of a Southern Baptist Minister who was constantly teased by Landon and his friends, the cool kids in school who eat boiled peanuts in graveyards. Hegbert Sullivan also wrote plays. Landon joined the Drama Club in school instead of Chemistry for ease and pleasure, not by reciting lines but sleeping. When Jamie was needless to say, made the angel, she was to stand in front of the class and Landon found a slightly more attractive her than usual. He didn't give much thought about it, until he was forced to ask Jamie to accompany him for the homecoming dance. That was better than cleaning up puke, right?
After the dance, Jamie asked Landon to do her a favor by playing Tom, the lead role of the play besides the angel. He excepted it, touched by Jamie's emotions. Thus came the session to walk her home. His love for Jamie developed when her role of the angel came out, when she let her honey-blonde hair down, wore a beautiful dress and a touch of make-up, making the sight of her arresting. After the play, he wished that, for the first time, he could walk her home.
Thus came the unusual and unexpected relationship they had. He first started bringing her to his house and then to classy diners.
But Sparks say that every good thing comes to an end. Jamie had a secret kept long in her heart, and when she finally told Landon about a battle she had been fighting, all emotions came in. How the relationship Landon and his father built up, how Jamie changed everybody's life in her town, and how Landon's love can bring great joy to Jamie while she fights on.This book is very educational, with a lot of Christian beliefs and good deeds. It also has a touch of humor and very very sad parts which will leave most of you tearing. I recommend this book to everybody who wants a good book to read and is capable of curling in his or her room (I'm sure you wouldn't want others to see you cry over a book). This book was recommended to me by other Mandy Moore fans who've read it (after we knew that Mandy would be acting the lead role with Shane). I've never regretted buying and I still enjoy it,

Summary: A Walk to Remember
Review: Landon Carter was an ordinary teenager who was looking for a relationship. Jamie Sullivan was kind, cheerful, shy, and the daughter of a priest. She was more of a giving to community type of girl while Landon didn't care about any of that yet somehow, they fall in love. He would walk her home from school everyday. One day, Jamie finally confesses to Landon that she has Leukemia and that she was dying soon. Week after week, she started getting weaker and weaker until she was in a wheelchair. By then, she was very pale and was all bones. Landon knew that she was going to die soon but he loved her so much that he married her. Even though Jamie was still very weak, she still walked down the aisle.
I really liked this book because it was very touching, romantic, and sweet. It kind of teaches you to not judge a person until you get know them. This was a story of true love. Landon didn't care of what his friends thought, he just wanted to stay with Jaime forever.
My favorite part of this book was when Jaime walked down the aisle. She was very weak. She had to sit in a wheelchair because she couldn't hold herself up, but she still walked down the aisle. Even though she stumbled a lot and it took a long time, she still made it all the way.

Summary: Beautiful and Deep
Review: This book is a very sad, but also full of joy. It contains something that can never be able to express without even crying. This book written by Nicholas SParks is about a boy named Landon that is a senior in High School but does not know what he wants to do in the future. He does not have a care in the world for anyone, but his friends and family. During the beginning of the new year of his senior year, he notices the nice and plain Jamie Sullivan. ...
I really enjoyed this book because I believe that it is not only a love story but it shows a lesson in life also. In these written pages the lesson is that there is always something more deeper and more beautiful than the outside of a human, and I believe that Landon learned this when he met Jamie

Review: Very Very different from the movie. A real page turner, and every emotional. It makes you want to think twice about judging someone before you know them. I'm NOT going to tell you the ending...I suggest that everyone pick this book up!

Summary: not the most original plot but good nonetheless
Review: I bought this book mainly because I wanted to read it first before I went to watch the movie (and also because I am a sap,heh). The plot was nothing great, you could kinda predict what was going to happen next. However, Nicholas Sparks has a real cool way with words - very sweet and at times, very humorous. It made me laugh aloud a few times. He painted this really quaint and beautiful small town in my head and its characters, etc. Though you could predict the ending, it will still make you cry because it's a simple and old-fashioned story of first love, its ups, its downs, its pain .. go read it.
