Summary: A Walk to Remember
Review: The name of my book is A Walk to Remember, by Nicholas Sparks. The story is about two teenagers who fall in love even though they have plenty of obstacles to go through. Jamie Sullivan is a preacher's daughter. Her mother died during her birth. She has a bunch of religious beliefs and is not the most popular person in the world. Landon Carter is the son of a state senator who he hardly ever sees. He hangs out with the popular crowd and is the kind of boy who drinks and gets in trouble a lot. I like Jamie the best because she is the kind of girl everyone wants to be. I didn't really like Landon because he was like the bad boy that made fun of people like Jamie. The message of the book is don't look on the inside of a person look on the inside and get to know them. The thing I like best is that Jamie even though she loves Landon doesn't want him to fall in love with her. The thing I like the least is that Jamie's dad doesn't like Landon because of Landon's father. I wasn't satisfied with the ending because Landon lost the love of his life. The author kept me so interested I didn't want to put the book down. The author tells just what you need to know and doesn't give too many details. The vocabulary is a little difficult but most people could probably understand it. I like the way the author kind of drags the end out so you will stay interested. The book will probably appeal to ages 10 and up because there are some harsh events that are depressing. I would recommend it if you like love and religious stories. I give my book *****. By:

Summary: Old-Fashion Sweet Love
Review: A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks is a book that has touched all my five senses. Through tears and laugher was the love story of two seniors in High School unfolded in front of me. I picked out this book in the first place because I heard a song called Cry on TV. The lyrics and the melody of Cry moved me and I later found out that the song was made for a movie called ¡§A Walk to Remember¡¨. Since the movie was not out yet, I decided to read the book based on the movie instead. I didn¡¦t think the book would be good because usually books based on movies aren¡¦t that great, but I decided to give it a try anyways. And boy was I wrong! After I read the book, all the lyrics in Cry fitted together, creating an even sweeter atmosphere whenever I hear the song. A Walk to Remember is not just a typical love story¡Xthere are many twists and turns in the plot that leaves you speechless. With Sparks¡¦s descriptive writing, it makes feels that you are actually watching the movie, or even one of the characters in love. The love experienced by Landon and Jamie is so pure and innocence that it makes you leave the society in 2002 and go back in time to a sweeter world, 1958. The story takes place in North Carolina in a sweet little town where everybody knows everybody. This scenery creates a better feeling how it is so easy to fall in love during that time¡Xthe love is old-fashioned but yet so clean and sweet. Unfortunately, a tragedy happens in the end that makes one¡¦s heart wrench. Nicholas Spark guides you through the sweetest part of life because once upon reading this book, you may tie connections with similar experiences you once may have had. In this book, not only was Jamie an inspiration to Landon but an inspiration to me. This is the kind of book that you would want to read by yourself a cold day wrapped up in a blanket. Satisfaction guaranteed! =0)

Summary: I wasn't impressed
Review: I am surprised at how many people gave this book such good ratings. I found the story to be boring, trite and predictable. The girl in the story really is too good to be true. Christian or no, just not someone most people can relate to. As for the boy's character, I have to say, I enjoyed his character development although his change of heart happens a little too quickly and with little explanation as to why. The ending of the story was so predictable it's really insulting to the reader's intelligence. Check it out from the library if you want an exceedingly unchallenging, "brain-candy" type of read. I wouldn't buy it and definitely wouldn't see Hollywood's version either.

Summary: A superb novel that changed me forever
Review: Sometimes, you come across a book that is not only unforgettable, but that actually changes the way you look at the things of life. It did happen to me with biographies and essays, but never before with a novel. This book is not only the most pure and delicate love story I have ever read, but through Jamie's wonderful character, it made me understand for the first time, in all its beauty and majesty, what God had in mind when He created the woman. I think I have fallen in love with the character of a novel...

Summary: a walk to remember: touching story
Review: A walk to remember seems to be one of those heart touching love stories, where everything seems to fall in place in the end of the book. However, when you start reading it and finish it you will be guaranteed touched by this story that Nicholas Sparks wrote. Some parts of the story people can really relate to and other parts are just unexpected.
Landon Carter recalls his best summer ever in his life back in 1958 when he was 17. His character is just like any other young teenage guy, one who wishes to be popular and a jock and have all the cheerleaders line up after them. However, Landon does not play on the school football team, nor does he have cheerleaders line up after him. Instead during his senior year Landon decided to run for student body president and also join the school drama. Through this period of drama classes and other social activities, he meets the most unexpected girl ever. The town bishop¡¦s daughter Jamie, she teaches Landon so many things about life. Which allowed him to not just fall in love with her, but to realize the things that are important in life that he had been ignoring all this time. Through all these fun times they have, Jamie spills the big problem and Landon¡¦s whole world falls apart.
The whole situation with Jamie¡¦s big problem resulted to a lot of sympathy amongst the townspeople. Through this Nicholas Sparks tries to tell us that we should cherish every moment in life. Don¡¦t wait till the last minute till you realize you¡¦ve wasted some, you should think that every moment in your life is something special and shouldn¡¦t be forgotten.
I really enjoyed this book; I read it in one day. I usually don¡¦t read books nor do I read them in one day! So I was really surprised that I was so into it that I finished it in one day. Even though a lot of the commentaries say that the book will make you ball when you¡¦re done reading. I didn¡¦t although I found it very touching. It¡¦s a little to good to be true. After reading this book, I really wish the movie were out in Taiwan so I can watch it. I think I¡¦m going to go buy some other books written by Nicholas Sparks, I like the way he write his books. It¡¦s realistic and yet many parts are unexpected!

Summary: Wow!
Review: I first read this book when my friend lent it to me about a year ago; I read it all at once and I cried for a half-an-hour after I finished it! I almost stopped reading at the end of the first chapter because it seemed like all the book was was endless details about the town, people, etc. I'm sooooooo glad I didn't because this is a book about the truest and purest love two people could have; however, it's not sicky sweet, either. I finally saw the movie as well, (if I'd seen the movie first, I probably wouldn't have read the book) but it was hardly anything like the book (however, I still loved it because of Shane West------wow-type, hottie!). I'm afraid that people won't read the book, now, because the movie was so goody sweet (I was almost gagging at the end--except for Mr. West:), but the book isn't like that at all and only gets a little mushy at the end, so READ THIS BOOK! Have the hankies ready!

Summary: Tragic
Review: This was an excellent book, but I read it after I saw the movie,
it is much more different from the book. The characters descriptions and the setting are different. The end of both the book and the movie were very sad.

Summary: A Walk to Remember
Review: A seventeen year old boy named Landon Carter is asked by Jamie Sullivan to join the schoolplay. Landon can't say no so he decides to join. Jamie is one of those girls who helps everyone and everything. All the adults love her but at school nobody pays any attention to her. Landon is casts the lead in the school in the school play and Jamie is the angel. He needs alittle help on his lines and asks Jamie. She agrees as long as he doesn't fall n love with her. He agrees because he thinks this will never happen.During the play Jamie looks beautiful and that is when Landon realizes he is falling in love with Jamie. But, then something tragic happens.
I liked this book because it's very different from the movie. I like the details that they show in the book and how they begin to fall in love with each other. Also that I always wanted to read more and more. It was a good book because it sometimes made you want to cry and other times make you so happy.
My favorite part in the book was when he said he wouldn't fall in love with her. But, he does fall in love with her and they spend all their time together. Landon doesn't care what his friends think and isn't afraid to go out with her. She starts to have the same feelings for him. Her father the minister isn't so sure about it.

Summary: A Book that will hold a place in your heart forever!
Review: When I first began to read this book, I assumed that it would be another sappy teenager love novel. But I did one thing wrong, I assumed. If there is one thing this book tought me, it is not to assume things about people that you don't really know. A loving story about love, pain, and grief, that will touch your heart. As bad-boy Landon falls for the minister's daughter, Jamie, he learns so many new things. But most of all, he learns how to love, and look on the inside. Sadly, with a tearjerking ending, Landon must also learn to say goodbye. A book that you will never forget,and a book that will never get old, you will surely love it!
