Rating: Summary: Another great love story Review: After reading The Notebook, Nicholas Sparks quickly became one of my favorite authors. His non-traditional love stories are truely uplifting to read. To make a point, I don't even like love stories. Sparks' books, however, are on a totally different level.This book is not quite as good as The Notebook but nevertheless more than worth reading. If you like a good heartwarming story, I would give my highest recommendation to any of Sparks' books.
Rating: Summary: Refreshing sweetness Review: I loved Nicholas Sparks' A Walk To Remember. He's one of my favorite authors. I have read his previous work and this book is my favorite. I enjoyed seeing the world through the characters eyes although they are a jaded teenage guy's. The transformation and maturity is great to experience. I thought this was much more heartbreaking than even his other works. I've given several copies to friends and family to read. I hope Nicholas continues to write about young love and loss and redemption. I would love to see this as a movie too!
Rating: Summary: A Book You'll Remember Review: Nicholas Sparks has proven yet again that he has the talent to reach the heart and reveal the beauty of the human spirit. I really enjoyed reading A WALK TO REMEMBER. It's difficult to review this book without wanting to giving away the entire plot. However, since I want you to experience the broad spectrum of emotions I did, I'll do just enough to whet your appetite. All too often humans have a tendency to judge people based on how they look on the outside. Many miss out on opportunities to really see a person for what they really are on the inside. The true beauty goes unnoticed and at times those who do not meet up to the "beauty standard" end up feeling "ugly" and depressed. Sparks does several things through the writing of this novel. He shows that inner beauty should be valued and if you are a victim of not being accepted, you should not change to fit in. See how he develops what starts out as a heckling and unnacceptance of a Reverend's daughter that eventually turns into something beautiful. It teaches the lesson that we should all put effort to see beyond a person's skin. I really like Nicholas Sparks' writing style. It is as though he is speaking right to you. Make yourself comfortable with your favorite drink and lots of KLEENEX and take into consideration that I didn't want to put the book down. From beginning to end it will shed light on what makes living a wonderful experience that should be treasured. A WALK TO REMEMBER will be A BOOK YOU'LL REMEMBER.
Rating: Summary: The best ever! Review: When I first picked up this book I thought it was going to be like any other love story, but it caught my attention since the first paragraph. Sparks has a way of drawing you in, so many different emotions for one book. Makes you laugh and cry, yuo fell like skipping ahead to see what will happen, but then you don't want to miss a single word. It's a book everyone can relate to, even my macho boyfriend loved it. I just simply loved the eccitement, this is one of Sparks best books ever.
Rating: Summary: A great book Review: This was a great tearjerker. The story starts as an older adult looking back on one of the greatest years of his life. The background of this love story is a community in a small town. The main character shares the story of the most loving and heartbreaking year of his life. He falls in love and loses it. This is one of the best books ever written and I will cherish it always.
Rating: Summary: Few Sparks Review: I read The Notebook several years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. I found it to be a touching story of long love. Though A Walk to Remember was an easy, quick read, it was less than believable. The characters were superficial and I found it depressing as well as unlikely that Landon would have spent the rest of his life alone. I'd be reluctant to read another of Mr. Sparks' books.
Rating: Summary: A Walk To Remember Review: This book is very well written and is a fast read. The characters Jamie and Landon live in a small town. Landon has no date for the homecoming and his last resort is Jamie. Jamie is plain, shy girl and always keeps to her self. She warns Landon not to fall in love with her and Landon just thinks she is crazy. How could anyone fall in love with her? But Landons life is about to change for ever and a unleashed secret will make your heart weap. In this story Landon is a typical teenager. He is worried about his looks and how other people see him. Jamie is just the opposite with a father who is the town priest. She has come to learn the bible and carries it around everywhere. Jamie teaches Landon the true meanings of life and changed him to a person he would of never thought he could be. The story takes a unsuspected curve the will send your mind and heart on wild rollarcoaster.
Rating: Summary: What a Moving Story Review: Although it has been a few weeks since I have read Nicholas Sparks' novel, I have not forgotten any small detail. The story of two young people so diverse created an unforgetable story. Sparks uses a plain and "to the point" style to tell his personal story of love and loss. The book is an easy read. Once you start, it is hard to put down. The story itself is so captivating that you want to finish the book once you read the first chapter. Overall, I think that the book would be more likely to be well received by females as opposed to males,simply because it is a love story. It is unpredictable and Inspiring. What a Moving Story.
Rating: Summary: Teen Love- It Never Seems Possible Until Now" Review: This is the fourth novel I have read by Nicholas Sparks. His words still continue to intrigue me more and more with every new cover I open. The latest novel I have read was A Walk to Remember. With its sweet, innocent tale of love, anyone can see how it became a New York Times Bestseller. In this novel, Landon Carter looks back on how he took on his senior year at Beaufort High in 1958. He is elected class president and must attend the homecoming dance. By the time he was elected, "all" the girls were already taken. He resorted to pulling out his yearbook. He came across a girl named Jamie Sullivan, he has to look twice. No one would have ever imagined this shy minister's daughter would be Landon's choice. They would also never imagine what would eventually come of this date. Sparks will take each and every reader down Landon's walk which was definitely made to remember. Keep a box of Kleenex box along side of you and take in Sparks words of faith in a situation such as Landon's and Jamie's.
Rating: Summary: Make This a Movie! Review: I just finished reading this book as I am looking out a picture window with a beautiful view of a lake. Perfect. I felt like I was back in time and part of a story that I didn't want to end. I would love to see this made into a movie. Can't wait to read the rest of Nicholas Sparks' books.
