Summary: This book has blazing problems
Review: I have heard people praise this book for quite some time now. In order to get them to quit bugging me to read it, I checked it out from my library and read it in three days. Now, I can't say I was happy. This book seems like it was written in one night- especially because the book's quality is so bad. Anyway, I found this book to also be:- Predictable: Just like a fairy tale, I could almost always guess what would happen next. C'mon, people like to read books with twists, turns, and surprises! (Which this book didn't have much of!) - Rushed: Towards the end, ... all the events in the book were quickly rushed to that conclusion. That was seriously annoying, considering the fact that that conclusion was also just written to make the book seem a bit more interesting. -Religous: On nearly EVERY page, this book has something to do with religon. It drove me nuts! (BEWARE!) -Strange: Why Landon would fall for a perfect, sweet girl like Jamie, I don't know, but part of the problem here is that they have absoulutely no chemistry between them. I mean, half of the time they just sit and talk about the weather! Is that what real boyfriends and girlfriends do? (Though I'm not sure you can consider Landon and Jamie boyfriend and girlfriend) - Flawless: ALL of the characters were (may I say this?) PERFECT. That's right, they had no flaws, and that just made them seem shallow and transparent. Why not have some characters that aren't so perfect once in a while? I can go on and on about how bad this book was, but I'll stop here. If you're looking for a romance about two teenage high schoolers, forget this book. The plot is weak, characters are too perfect... yadda, yadda, yadda. Save your money, just don't read this book!

Summary: A MUST READ BOOK!!!
Review: "A Walk to Remember" tells a story of a 40 year old man looking back on his senior year of high school as well as his first true LOVE! Nicholas Sparks plays with your emotions and makes you want to keep on reading. There were many moments in the book where I didn't want to put the book down. I wanted to keep on reading until I found out what was going to happen next. This was somewhat of a simple book, but Nicholas Sparks has an interesting way of writing. I don't really like reading, but I enjoyed reading this novel. It took me into another world. A world that was much different from mine and a world that I could definitely learn from.

Summary: A Beautiful Love Story
Review: Always wanting to read a book before seeing the movie, I read A Walk To Rememeber before renting the movie.
I finished the book within 24 hours because it was one of those that I just couldn't put down! Being a high school senior, I related the story of HS cliques and homecoming dances. Fromt the book, I thought about my outlook on others and how I treat others who may not be in my "inner circle". There are great people outthere that we need to meet, regardless of what they wear or who they hang out with. A week ago I would have told you that Message In a Bottle was my favorite love story, but I think Sparks newer novel has won me over. If you're looking for a sweet and fast read, try this one!

Summary: A Walk to Remember
Review: I've just put down and finished reading A Walk to Remember and I just had to write something somewhere telling someone to read it. I've thought of reading this book back then--thinking that if the movie was good, the book would be astounding--but didn't really get to doing so. This week though, my English teacher passed out a list of five books wherein we could choose one, find a way to get that book and be done reading it by the 27th of October. So I went to the library after school today and got the book. I told myself I'd peek inside and close it again, promising myself that I won't breeze through it so fast. So I peeked... read the prologue... nodded at the warning in it and reluctantly grabbed myself a box of tissues--thinking that I probably won't use it anyway. I read... and never stopped. Right now, about 10 minutes after finishing the book, my eyes are bloodshot, swollen and are stinging so bad. It was a great read. A must-read actually. I seriously was hanging onto every word.
Now, I've decided that tomorrow, I'll march back to the library and get myself all the available Nicholas Sparks books. I'll read them fast and go back here, hopefully giving out some more stars.

Summary: A beautiful novel
Review: 'A Walk To Remember' is a beautifully written novel. The story line evloves around the love of two teenagers and it shows that love can strike at any age. What makes this novel so good is the charatcher building and how they share their love for each other.
There are parts in this novel that make it a romance classic, and this is a MUST read novel if you are a romantic type of person like me.
There are parts in this novel that made me cry, and also it made me happy to see that these two people found love, and also it teaches how you can lose that love but still you change as a person inside and out. GREAT NOVEL.

Summary: (Sigh) How romantic!
Review: As a student of a high school with the shallowest boys ever encountered on the face of the earth (and I'm not kidding), I'm really fed up with the typical "She's hot, he's hot" antics that form the pathetic relationships in our school. This book proved to skeptics like me that there can be such a thing as a guy truly in love (hopefully) and that the opposite sex doesn't just fall for the best looking chick in the room. Boy meets girl, boy turns good, falls in love with good girl, not really a new plot, but very well told. I especially loved the Christmas play (why did they change that in the movie?!?) and the homecoming dance. Nicholas Sparks really knows how to write a wonderful love story (I mean the real love that lasts, not the one-night stand kind) and remains one of my favorite authors. The book is definitely better than the movie, probably because I don't like Shane West, but I don't see why they changed the book plot so much, because they pretty much ruined it.

Summary: I am very jealous of Nicholas Sparks
Review: The man is building an empire -- presumably a very lucrative one -- by crafting a simple, winning formula. One that I could have crafted if only I'd thought of it before he did. The formula is so simple: write a weepy, excessively sentimental love story. That's it. That's all it takes. Who buys books? Mostly women. What do they buy? Weepy, sentimental... well, you get it.
This book isn't even well written (as one reviewer has pointed out here, the first-person protagonist starts out telling his story in teenage-speak -- even though he's now a middle-aged man). But all Sparks had to do was create a character who was so smitten with the ethereal girl that he NEVER got over her -- never even considered getting married or even having a relationship of any kind with any other woman as long as he lived. Voila -- his target audience is hooked. Sparks gets richer. I get more jealous.

Summary: a reader
Review: If you want a book that's a romantic drama with a great lesson then this is the book for you. In the first chapter you'll probibly think this so boring and you want to stop, but keep reading, 'cause this is a really great book. It teachs you that you have to get to know people to know what there like and enjoy something when you have it or them.

Summary: A Wonderful Book
Review: At last in my opinion a real romance novel. Finally a story about a guy who falls in love with a girl who is not exactly pretty but shows the beauty inside which is what really counts. I was happy to finally at last read a novel where the main male character falls in love with a woman who isn't a fiery vixen or some whorey temptress that you see on those [other] romance ... novels, etc. I mean a story about real committment and everlasting love without the disgusting sex and dialogue that you read in those books. A Walk to Remember is one of my favorite novels and I hope more writers out there start writing about these kind of storylines where a man can fall for a woman even if she is plain to look at but beautiful inside.
