Though strange circumstances they end up together in the school play, and become very close. Everything is wonderful, until Jamie reveals her secret.

Summary: A Great Book!
Review: For Christmas break, my English teacher made us read a book. Thinking of what I should pick, I remembered some of my friends discussing a book they read and liked a lot. The book they were talking about was called A Walk To Remember by Nicholas Sparks. As I started reading this book, I couldn't put it down. I will admit that I don't like to read that much, and when I start reading a book, I usually never finish it. This was completely different, we had 3 weeks to read the book, and I read it in 1 week!
I am a 14-year-old girl, and like other girls, we all want to fall in love. (Grown ups would say puppy love). This book is a really sweet and cute love story that will capture your heart.
One of the main characters is Landon Carter; he is in his senior year in high school. Landon thinks that his year will be the same as other, joking around with friends and chilling around all the time but he is totally wrong. His life, and thoughts about life will change right after he picks drama as one of his classes. Thinking he will be able to sleep in this class, he goes not imagining what will happen.
Jamie Sulviani is also in her senior year. She is not like other girls in school; Jamie is the daughter of the Minister in town. She is always carrying a bible with her and she is consider as the class dork. Also in drama class, Jamie is picked for one of the leading roles in this year's Christmas play. Jamies father, Revender Sulviani, writes these plays. Jamie wants this play to be one of the best plays ever presented. She wants this for her father. Actually she wants this year to be the greatest year in her life. She wants to help the orphanage even more this year. She wants to give each little kid a Christmas present they have never received before.
With no other choice, Landon invites Jamie to the Homecoming Dance. Jamie will accept to go, as long as Landon keeps his promise of not falling in love with her. (Landon promises). A twist in fate, makes Landon break his promise. He falls in love, but will it be forever?
In my opinion, the author wrote his memorable book in a way that teaches you a lot about life, and about the fact that you don't have to criticize someone without even knowing him/her. I loved this book a whole lot, and I wouldn't be surprise if you did too.

Summary: Every Young Adult Should Read it
Review: I really enjoyed reading the novel, A Walk to Remember. Sparks did an excellent job developing the characters of Jamie and Landon and expressing their feelings. This book tells a story about young true love and how Landon became a better person because the great love of his life. I absolutely could not put it down and look forward to seeing the movie. Spark also did an excellent job developing the plot, and like any good novel there was a moral to this story.

Summary: Pretty Good!
Review: Well, I'm a guy. And this book was only the second "romance" novel I've ever read. And I bought it for my 13-year-old daughter--but then I decided to read it first after seeing the words "first love" on the back cover. I wanted to see exactly what kind of "love" author Sparks had in mind. Anyway, this novel was pretty good. And I DID cry, just like the main male character, Landon Carter--the "I" of this 1st-person narrative--assured me I would. But the story was VERY predictable. I haven't read Sparks's other books, so I don't know how they compare to _A Walk to Remember_. But one thing that really distracted me was the "tone" of the writing.Sparks has the older adult Carter reminiscing about when the story occured, but has him telling it in the language a high schooler would use. From the get-go and throughout the entire book, however, I imagined this story being told by the ADULT Carter--as if he and I were sitting in front of the fireplace. So, to me, the language didn't match the age of the one doing the reminiscing. In spite of that, I really loved the story. And it's not at all trashy. Which is why my daughter is reading the book now...as I type.

Summary: Delightfully Sweet
Review: A Walk to Remember is the best book I have ever read in my entire life!! Nicholas Sparks is an absolutely a delightful author, mixing the age- old story of 'rich boy meets poor girl' with the 1950's backdrop. It's wonderfully sweet. The plot is very simple; Every year, Landon Carter remembers the girl he met in high school that changed his life forever. It's so a beautiful book about how true love conquers all.

Summary: Not Nicholas Sparks's best work
Review: This book didn't resonate with me the way Sparks's other books did. Although it was sad, the characters didn't touch me enough to make me cry. After reading Message in a Bottle I was really eager to watch the movie when it came out. I have absolutely no interest in seeing A Walk to Remember - The Movie.

Summary: So what if it's a "chick book"?
Review: After hearing about the movie, i talked with a few friends and decided to read the book before watching the movie. Keeping an open mind as to the nature of the story, I wasn't sure what to expect because the story was labeled as a "chick book." After reading the first chapter, i couldn't put it down. The story was great, and i enjoyed Nicholas Sparks' humor inserted all throughout the novel. A great read, funny, sentimental, and dramatic all rolled into one. I recommend it without reserve.

Summary: A Wonderful Story About Love and Life
Review: In the eyes of a seventeen year old.. this book was a wonderful story to read. Once I started reading I couldn't put it down! It was so touching to read a story about love and life that taught such an important lesson in life! It really shows that teenage love really can be true! I would recommend this book to anyone who just wants to read a good book.
