Summary: This is just a thought........
Review: I have just finished reading the reviews written by fellow readers of Nicholas Sparks new novel "A Walk to Remember". And I too have much to say about it. I found that there were two definite sides taken, those who liked it a lot, and those who thought it "foolish pablum", now I may not know what that means, but it does sound negative (DUH!). Now here it comes.....my "Oh So Wonderful Wisdom" that will magically bring peace on earth and solve world hunger....NOT. Well maybe I wish. The fact of the matter is I though that the book was a good read. I found special meaning in it, but then I could relate to a lot that went on. I lost my dad to a malignant brain tumor; I had to watch him die. I know that there are many out there like me, believe me when I say I am not looking for tea and sympathy by any means. Yes Nick was right I did cry, and I laughed too. I know that many may not agree with me, but that is what this is about right, stating your "opinion". I read through most of the 1-3 star rating reviews and some good points were made. Yes it was predictable. On the other hand I found that there were others like me who found it enjoyable even if it was predictable (such as Betty Chan or Bill Dockery). My review may be 1 in a million, and may never even be read by anybody, but thank you Sparks I enjoyed it. And I encourage you to read it for yourself.

Summary: Mr. Strout made me write this
Review: I had already heard good things about this book from a fellow classmate who recomended it to me. Although the book was a bit undeleloped in detail and in lenth, it was a good read. Short, quick, and to the point but it also gave room for some tradgic surprise. Landon Carter is a typical high school student, he is more interested in his friends than in his school work. He has to deal with the pressures of trying to find a date to homecommimg because it's not "cool' if you go stag. The last person anyone would think of becomes his date, "bible girl", Jamie Sullivan.Things between them start to heat up after Landon gets talked into doing the christmas play. Just as things are going great for the two, Tradgity strikes, leaving the two in a rare sitution for high school students. As the book unfolds it becomes harder to put it down. This book is a good, quick read. Most likely women will like it more than men.

Summary: Reader's Response
Review: Jamie Sullivan is quite and polite young girl that carries her Bible with her and helps out at an orphanage. When Jamie Sullivan and her meet, she tells him not to fall in love with her. He doesn't expect that to ever happen, but through a series of events, he falls in love with her and later finds out that she has a fatal dissease. This book was well written and easy to read. The author has a unique way of capturing your attention and keeping it. Once you start reading it, it is hard to put the book down. Also, the author makes you laugh one moment and want to cry the next. Personally, I really enjoyed the book. I was able to relate well to it. Primarily because of the age similarity and some of the problems the charcters faced, I have had to face also. The author's style was interesting to me, and I am reading another one of his books now. This book left me wanting to be a better person and it gave me a new perspective of life. Even though I thought this was a good book, I think that more females would enjoy it than males. I think that young adults and adults would be more drawn to this book than any other age group.

Summary: Oh Please, What Foolish Pablum
Review: I didn't laugh, I didn't cry - I found it totally predictable. This is probably a great book for teenagers or young adults. Those who haven't read much or are just starting to forge adult relationships might find meaningful.

Summary: Everyone can relate in one way or another.
Review: Nicholas Sparks dose wonders to pull you into a whole new world with vivid discriptions of the surroundings and characters emotions. It's a true tear jerker that pulls at every heart string even if you're not the emotional type.

The end of the story keeps you thinking for days. Though you know the ending even before the story is through the last like makes you rethink everything you think you know and put down the book with a longing for more.

It's truly the best book I've read in a long time.
