Summary: Ridiculous
Review: First, let me say that I am usually not a very harsh critic, I try to find something positive in every book I read. For example, "Message in a Bottle" which is probably not a very sophisticated piece of literature either, is one of my favorites and I gave it five stars. But "A Walk to Remember" is so full of kitsch and clichés, it's just ridiculous. The sweet but plain minister's daughter who helps orphans and injured animals, the "wild boy" who is not so wild after all and tries to do the right thing, his buddy, the most popular guy in town who also turns out to be a real nice guy and the pretty cheerleader who has "banana pudding where her brains should have been" - oh, please! Shallow characters and a very unrealistic and foreseeable plot form a fairy-tale without the usual "and they lived happily ever after"-ending. So if you are a romantic teenage girl looking for a story that will make you cry your eyes out, you found it. For all others, it's just a big fat waste of time. Sorry, Nicholas Sparks, but this book is definitely one of the worst I have ever read, and I bet it would have been rejected by every publisher, had it been your first novel.

Summary: Nothing but a Glorified Harlequin Romance
Review: This, as all of Sparks' books, are just romantic, predictable, sappy drivel. By page 5, most readers know exactly where this is going. There's much better stuff out there to be reading than this, folks.

Summary: Sweet, Heartwarming, and Wonderful
Review: I guarantee... you will laugh.And I guarantee... you will cry. This was the promise of the author in the last sentence of the prologue. Thus, you already had an idea of how the book was going to end. By chapter 5, I had already pretty much figured out the book. But, as mildly predictable as it may be, it's not the end and whether you know it or not that matters, but how sweet the journey is to get there... and this is such a sweet story. In the beginning, I laughed my tail off, and thought this was a wonderful book. At the end, I cried... and still thought this was a wonderful book. All the predictions were true, and rarely do I come across a book that can be so touching as this one has touched me. Nicholas Sparks is my favorite author and I have read all his books. In my opinion, this one is his best. I can only hope that one day I meet my Jamie Sullivan. But one can never know... about God's plan :)

Summary: Sweet but predictable
Review: While I do love Nicholas Sparks writing, and yes even I was moved to tears (not easy to do) in this sweet story; I found A Walk to Remember predictable. If you a looking for a fast read and a cathartic cry this is the book for you. I found the protaganist to be placed on a pedestal so high that I could not relate even to the feelings the narrator has for her. Yes I cried, yes it was a quick read. I just expected more.

Summary: From Maui No Ka Oi, Hawaii
Review: A Walk to Remember was highly recommended by a great friend during the holiday season and it turned out to be the best way to capture the true essence of the holiday spirit for me. I couldn't put this book down and thoroughly enjoyed reading it from start to finish. Nicholas Spark's has a great sense of writing style; he writes from his soul and definitely writes from his heart. Great pick for 2000!

Summary: This book was great!
Review: This was a really good book. It is such a great love story. It also makes you realize life doesn't always work out the way you want it, but you can still make the best of it. I recommend it for everyone.

Summary: A Walk to Remember
Review: As a reader of mostly non-fiction, I found this book when my wife brought it home. Once I started reading it, I could not put it down. Jamie is the girl that wants to live her life the way that God wants us to, and Landon ends up living the life we all wish we had. This book haunted me for days. I just could not stop thinking about it. Congratulations Nicholas Sparks on another winner.

Summary: Love and Death
Review: A WALK TO REMEMBER is one of my favorite books. it tells a story of love and death, and that even though someone is about to die the love between the two people can still live. It tells a story about a helping person that soon becomes helpless to everything, life espeicially.

Summary: Predictable ... But not that bad
Review: OK ... I am a man and not the biggest fan of romantic books. I've read the Notebook and did not mind it too much. Over the holidays I was visiting relatives and they were all reading this book. One evening, I picked it up. Now, from page 4, I knew what was going to happen with the relationship, but that was okay. Mr. Sparks is a master of creating situations where love is put to the absolute test. The true testament of this book is that I find myself thinking back to certain scenes from time to time (I won't ruin any for those who have not read the book). I don't think Mr. Sparks will ever win awards for his writing, but he knows how to punch you in the gut deep enough for the hurt to stay around long after the book is closed.

Summary: The Most Romantic Book I've Ever Read!!
Review: My sister got me this book for my birthday and I read it in less than 5 hours. It was by far the most touching book that I have ever read. It warms your heart by bringing you back to your high school years and your first love. I wish I could give this book 6 stars. The story twists and turns as you get to know the characters. You find yourself feeling like you are there with the characters. This book could move anyone with it's romantic theme and its wonderful drama. I think most people can relate to the characters which makes this an A+ book. Read it, that's all I can say.
