Summary: A Sweet Little Love Story
Review: This is a sweet story of young love and the joys and pains that come with it. However this story about these two lovers was a little different. In the beginning, the girl was portrayed as a being a little awkward and somewhat aloof. However, when the girl's personality is revealed more and more--the narrator starts to fall in love with her. Sadly, their budding romance was threatened with Nick's discovery of Jamie's cancer. But even cancer was not enough to keep these two lovers apart. Their romance seemed to deepen with this discovery and towards the end of the story--the two decided to get married. This story will make you happy, sad, laugh, cry, and wanting more!!!!

Summary: Sometimes predictable ,but generally okay
Review: This is a story of a young man who changes his entire world picture after his relationship with a sweet and loving classmate.
Nicholas Sparks cleverly narrates the story in the first person, so the story is more realistic, and the character's feelings are not exaggerated, so thankfully there are no Harlequin elements here.
Also, Sparks writes with a fast pace, so there are no boring details or passages here.
The story is pretty simple really, and most readers already know what's about to happen.
When it does happen, however, it seems that the author loses control.
We don't really see the main character's range of feelings about what is happening, and there are some bits of cliche.
It also annoyed me that the book had to come to a predictable, unoriginal and uninspired conclusion, which makes even the rest of the book seem different in a negative way (THIS was what it was heading to? Really!)
So, read it if you want a nice romantic story and don't expect anything much.

Summary: More than a love story
Review: What a beautiful and very simple love story! Don't be fooled by the fact that it's two teenagers. There is a lot of depth in this story. I love Sparks' style and the simplicity of the love they shared, reminds me very much of Shade of the Maple by Kirk Martin. I just read an advance copy of Martin's latest, Gifted, after reading about it at kirkmartinbooks.com. Like A Walk to Remember, it centers on two teenagers, but it's way more than a love story. I'd say skip the movie and read the book, you'll love it!

Summary: Good but not the best
Review: This book was incredibly touching but unrealistic, to me at least. The book was definitely better than the movie.

Summary: A Tale to Remember
Review: Nicholas Sparks' "A Walk to Remember" is the most riveting story of innocent first love that I've ever read. The opening line in the first and last chapters brought tears to my eyes. "When I was seventeen my life changed forever." Read everything in between and you'll share my reaction. The plot is easy to follow, perhaps even unoriginal but the story is nonetheless irresistible and at its best is a breath-taking story of the joy, pain, and confusion that life can throw at us when we are least prepared. I only hope that every person who deserves to find their one true love will one day meet their own Jamie Sullivan. I only wish I had known such a girl when I was seventeen as I am sure every man who has (or will) read this short but life-changing story.

Summary: Absolutely Amazing and Touching
Review: I honestly do not know where to start on praising this amazing book. It was so incredibly good! I read the entire thing in one sitting (in one day). The message of this novel is pure and just very lovely. The characters and their lives were so real and so perfectly written, and I am so glad that I ever stumbled upon this great read. I am an avid reader and enjoy the activity very much, but never have I read a book and been so enthralled and amazed! I cried so incredibly hard at the end of this novel, and I will never forget my experience of reading it. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is in for a very touching story with a great message!

Summary: Waste of Time
Review: I cannot fathom why this book has so many entries with a rating
of five stars. There is no depth to either the characters
or the story, and it did not engage me. It brought me
neither laughter nor tears. I've not read anything else
by this author, and I'm not likely to do so.
