Rating: Summary: Best Book i've ever read Review: A Walk to Remember, is one of the most inspiring and somewhat educational books that anyone will ever read. It teaches a great lesson, and i highly reccommend it.
Rating: Summary: The real miracle Review: I am a librarian and have suggested this book to anyone that walks in. Nicholas Sparks is a true master of the heart and soul. Many may feel empty and morbid afterward (according to the reviews seen here). I have never felt anything but up-lifted and feel a renewal in the nature of man-kind after a weekend with a Nicholas Sparks book. Perhaps the happy ending would be that she lived. That would have been nice. I don't think the Lord works quite that way. We here agree that the miracle was the fact that it took her death to save him and his soul. His path to what to do with his life was through her. He never regretted his decision to marry her. And to honor her for giving him his life, he devoted his heart to her memory.
Rating: Summary: Another Brilliant Book By Sparks Review: I don't know what book some of the other reviewers read because I'll always remember the walk. Instead of spoon-feeding the reader the ending of the book, Sparks allows you your own interpretation of the facts which makes it even more intriguing. I just finished the book at 2 a.m. this morning and can't decide which ending I believe. I know the one I want to believe, but Landon's looking up to the sky at the end makes me have my doubts, and what he said about the ring makes me a little uneasy too. I'm just not sure what "the miracle" was. I don't wanna give it away, but you've GOT to read it! It will enrich your soul. It takes a lot to get my emotions flowing, but Sparks gives a lot. Those cynics who don't like it are lacking in the soul department. He gets an A+ in my book.
Rating: Summary: To Fran Ollweiler Review: Get off your high horse Fran. A book does not necessarily have to "elevate my mind" to be considered as having been worthy of my time and money. While this is not the genre I am normally drawn to, I was very pleasantly surprised. This was a beautiful little story.Nicholas Sparks takes his readers on a walk down memory lane while we laugh and cry (just as he forewarns)and wish for the innocence of 17 year old Landon Carter. I cannot wait to pick up Nicholas Sparks' previous books and would highly recommend "A Walk to Remember".
Rating: Summary: What a waste of time.... Review: This book was a complete waste of my good time. I would have awarded it no stars if that was possible. I read it because it was the book chosen by a member of our local book club. I thought it was brainless and simplistic. I had read The Notebook and Message in a Bottle, and while they did nothing to elevate my mind they were nice little stories. This one just made me mad that I paid good money for such a predictable story. I will never buy another one of Nicholas Sparks books again. Fool me once, but never again.
Rating: Summary: Feel-good again Review: Fast,feel-good read. Nicholas Sparks has done it again. Same type book as his others. If you liked any of them, you'll like this one too. He has captured the essence of being young and wanting to fit in with the crowd, even at the expense of innocence. I liked the humor in this book, even though it was scarce. The ending? I know what I think the miracle was. Do you know? Making your own assumptions is what I think helps make this a unique book.
Rating: Summary: To Charlie Review: Charlie, He says that he never took off his wedding ring, because he never had the desire to. The miracle he prayed for was her survival. She lived!
Rating: Summary: How did it end? Review: An easy read, enjoyable characters, good descriptions of the NC setting. And he was right, he made me laugh and he made me cry. But these people who say it's entirely predictable need to go back and read the book again. He prayed for a miracle and "miracles can happen". Some of these reviews seem sure there was a twist at the end. I'm still thinking about the book and trying to decide how it ended. What was the miracle?
Rating: Summary: Worth reading time and time again Review: This book is definitely an one nighter. Sparks knows how to grab your attention and never let it go. A story of true love, maturity, spiritual values, and death combined beautifully into words. This book is definitely a must read and reread time and time again. Just a friendly note: Make sure you have a box of tissue close by. Finally when you done crying over this book make sure you read his other two: Message in a bottle and The Notebook. All three will touch your heart one way or another.
Rating: Summary: A major disappointment Review: Having read both The Notebook and Message in a Bottle, I eagerly awaited Mr. Sparks' newest book. I really enjoyed the first two - my measuring stick - how many tears shed! A Walk to Remember was mediocre. It was easy to read and short, but did not hold my interest at all. The characters were not appealing and the pace was too slow. I will definitely not run out to buy his next release.
