Summary: A book to remember
Review: In a time when the world seems like a horrible place, along comes A Walk to Remember. A beautiful story that will make you see there are still people with morals and convictions. Probably the best Nicholas Sparks book.

Summary: A Sweet and Spiritual "Walk"
Review: This was a pleasant book to read, though the entire story was quite predictable. From the moment the Landon begins describing Jamie....well, most readers will know that this "bad boy" will soon lose his heart to the "good girl." I don't want to say anything about the ending, so as not to spoil it, but most readers will see it coming. This novel lacks any tension or mystery. We know what will happen -- the pleasure lies in watching it unfold.
The story is spiritual with a Christian message. This is the first Nicholas Sparks book that I've read, so I don't know if all his novels are oriented towards religion. I was expecting a love story, but the emphasis on church and religion surprised me. I think the book will probably be most meaningful to Christians. As a Jewish person, I found it somewhat unreal. The "bad" characters were revealed to be quite harmless and good at heart. The "good" characters were beyond human good - Jamie is described as angelic, and so she is.
It is a sweet book, though. And I read it quickly, in one day. It is not at all suggestive or sexual, and is appropriate reading for all ages.

Summary: The meaning of lasting love -- for teens
Review: This is pure schmaltz, a genuine tear-jerker written for impressionable young teenagers to outline a more serious approach to love than the usual "let's hit the sack and have some fun" approach. The story isn't nearly as good as "Love Story" by Eric Segal, but that's a minor quibble. Segal dealt with college students; Sparks has written a book that relates to high school and junior high students who have not yet begun to date seriously. The theme of the book is very simple: true love is based on the content of a person's character, not on chest size or the willingness to engage in sex play. It's a favorite theme of Sparks, the idea of an enduring love that overcomes and outlasts all obstacles and setbacks. He used it well in "Message in a Bottle," dealing with two middle-aged adults who are old enough to have sex. In this book, it's two kids who barely hold hands and share only a few chaste kisses, which makes it clearly designed and suitable for the teen and pre-teen audience. Any normal teen will appreciate it; and parents can feel safe the book is as tame as a Donald Duck cartoon.. One brief excerpt, near the end, nicely sums up the whole approach: "We kissed again, too, though not every time we were together, and I didn't even think of trying to make it to second base. There wasn't any need to. There was something nice when I kissed her, something gentle and right, and that was enough for me. The more I did it, the more I realized that Jamie had been misunderstood her entire life, not only by me, but by everyone." Think of the movie "Titanic" without any hint of sex or nudity, and you have this book in a nutshell. "Titanic" made millions of innocent young girls weep copious tears for a love that was snuffed out by the disaster to the ship; "A Walk to Remember" will appeal to the same girls who want such a love to come into their lives. If you're a parent of a teen child, buy this book. Read it yourself, it deals with a fate and feelings that many adults carry through their entire lives. It is a warm reminiscence of a long lost love that might have been, and it tugs on those adult heartstrings. Then let your kids have it, it relates to them on their level and it is one of the best introductions you'll find to the meaning of love in contrast to the shallow sensual emphasis that dominates so much of today's movies and novels. Kids who read it will grow into mature sensitive adults with an ability to understand that true love involves more than chest sizes and hot pants; it will help them become true adults instead of perpetual teenagers.

Summary: A beautiful story that truly makes you smile and cry
Review: A Walk to Remember, was the first book I've ever read by Nicholas Sparks and he has immediately become my favourite author. The plot of his book was simple and predictable, yet it was the way he wrote it that truly captivated me, full of feeling and passion. It made me smile when Landon and Jamie's love blossomed and cry when I found out how their love was doomed and how they were never going to be with each other. And the ending of the book was just so powerful that i couldn't stop talking about the book for months and even now i remember it, for A Walk to remember is truly a memorable book that is absolutely worth reading and crying over.

Summary: A Story to Tug on Your Heartstring
Review: This book was recomended to me by a close friend (who was still crying when she gave it to me by the way). "It's just the best book ever!" she said with tears running down her cheeks. I asked her what it was about. When she told me it was about a popular teenage boy falling in love with a nerdy girl, I thought to myself, "Oh great, this sounds like another one of those badly written teenage romance novels!" Still, I decided to read it. I took it home and that night. By the end of the first chapter, I was hooked. It is totally different from any book I have ever read! It is from the perspective of a 17 year old boy named Landon who must have had a GREAT sense of humor, because within that first chapter, I found myself laughing out lound by the little interesting thoughts of his added into the story (who would have guessed by the end I would be crying my brains out!) Landon finds himself falling for Jamie, the overly-perfect(not to mention over-religous, nice, and cheerful) minister's daughter. Landon finds himself as he falls into a deeper love than some people will ever know. By the way, the endng is REALLY good and gets you thinking. This novels pulls on your every emotion. I laughed, I cried! Sparks has outdine himself again!

Summary: Another wonderful story by Nicholas Sparks
Review: A WALK TO REMEMBER is the telling of a story of first love. Landon Carter reminisces back to 1958, when he was 17 years old and getting ready for college. His best friend is on the football team and he seems to spend a lot of time hanging out with his buddies. Jamie is the daughter of the local minister, and spends all her time reading her bible. She is the butt of all the kids' jokes, because she sticks out like a sore thumb. Being a goody goody doesnt make one popular in highschool, and even Landon pokes fun at her behind her back. Then, he finds himself roped in to be part of the christmas play with Jamie. Jamie's minister father had written this play years ago, based on the story of his wife (who died during childbirth) and therefore the fact that Jamie plays the lead role has important meaning to everyone. the play transforms Jamie and Landon's relationship, and he finds himself falling in love with her. He is embarrased at first, but as he gets to know Jamie, he finds that he realy loves her. Things turn for the worse, and as always it's a tearjerker in this Nicholas Sparks novel. I dont want to give anything away, but i think this book is one of those that you can't put down, especialy if you love romances.
