Summary: One of the best books I ever read
Review: Originally I bought this book because I was curious what the (then) new movie with Kevin Costner was all about. I have not seen the movie yet (soon...) but I sure found an author with an amazing ability to make you feel like you were right there in the book. I did not expect it to end that way, but that's so special about it. Life doesn't always hold happy endings for you.

Summary: The book that made me give romance novels a chance.
Review: I have never really given romance novels a chance. I thought they were just the same old basic boring plots. My sister read the book first and begged me to read it. I always read suspense and thriller novels so, this took a lot of pursuading. Eventually, I gave in and 24 hours later the book was finished. It is the best book I have ever read. I can't believe a male author can write with such romantic feeling. He has a new fan forever. People who tend to put the book down and say it was unreal have obviously never had true love before. I feel really sorry for those people. The love in the book reminded me of the love I feel. I still think about the characters as if they are a part of my life. The ending made me feel as if I had lost a special friend. I will give romance novels a chance now. The movie was awful. Don't watch it unless you want to see a whole different story line. They should have left it the way the book was written.

Summary: Poorly written and insulting to the reader.
Review: Nicolas Sparks has made an assumption about his readers: They're starved for romance. Their lives are empty. They don't know good prose when they see it. Three good ingredients to money-making formulaic writing. How insulting. Here's an example: Sparks writes about our lonely heroin's search for the messages' author. He goes into great lengths about how she logs in, keys in the right command to bring up a search engine, types in the place where her man might be, and, here's the best, we get to see an illustration of what comes on screen! All available choices. Don't it make you want to log in and see what that internet is all about?

Summary: Beautifully written love story with a different ending
Review: Just before I read this, I wrote about the catharsis of a good laugh and sometimes a good cry. Well this was the cry that did it! As Garettet went to sea that last time I was fixing dinner. Didn't have to add any salt! I think the book gives hope that love can come along twice in a lifetime, but we need to able to recognize it. Keep writing Mr. Sparks. We in New Bern are very proud of you. I hope to meet you some day. I am disabled but will make the effort on of these times and come to see youu. Also loved the story in last years t.v. Guide.

Summary: very romance story
Review: the book is written in simple english, that is easy to know and the story is very romantic. the love between threase and garrette is pure, they love each other from their heart and they care for the other. to love somebody is not difficult, but nowadays many people are very self center and will not give up their own business or living habit just because of love. garrette willing to give up his memories as well as his shop. he want to be with theresa, itlikes a fairy tales. most women want to have a husband like garrette and this is the success of the writer. but the ending is sorrow and it makes me cry.

Summary: The preview is better
Review: I have to throw my hat into the ring. Overly simplistic, way way too predictable. Everything is so heavily foreshadowed, and badly written. Reading some parts was like listening to fingernails going against the chalkboard. Too bad the basic premise is so good.

Summary: I LOVED IT!! CAN'T STOP NOW!!
Review: I WAS GIVEN THE BOOK TO READ BY MY SISTER AND MOTHER AND I LOVED IT!! IT AMAZES ME HOW DIFFERENT EVERYONE SEES THINGS. I THOUGHT THAT NICK HAD A WAY WITH EXPRESSING HIS FEELINGS AND ALL THE LITTLE TOUCHES THAT HE ADDED TO THE SCENES JUST MAKE ME WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT HIM AS AN AUTHOR. I HAVE ALREADY BOUGHT THE NOTEBOOK AND CAN'T WAIT TO START THAT ONE AND AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEW ONE HE HAS COMING OUT. I MUST SAY THAT I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE MOVIE I SAW LAST NIGHT, I THINK THAT NICHOLAS SHOULD MAKE THEM SHOW IT JUST AS HE HAS IT WRITTEN, SO MUCH WAS LOST THAT I HAD HOPED TO SEE, DON'T LET THEM CHANGE ANYTHING!! THEY CAN'T IMPROVE ON IT, LEAVE IT JUST AS IT IS!

Summary: the most beautiful book i've ever read
Review: The book is absolutely fantastic. It's a very touching love story. With this book I discovered how unhappy are those who never feel such an emotion like the true love. True love!!!! The book made me think about life. How happy are those who have suffered for such a feeling like that one. How unhappy are those one who think they are happy because they have stability and in fact have just a pair of closed eyes and a sleeping heart. I finished the book in 2 days. I just couldn't put it down because it held my interest and my feelings very strongly. I still think of Garret. Nicholas Sparks is very sensitive and have a very noble love inside his self.

Summary: Enjoyable
Review: I liked this book. Theresa discovering 3 letters & tracing Garrett so easily seemed a little far fetched but the ending saddened me nonetheless. I rented the movie after finishing the book & found the book to be more entertaining. Good easy summer reading.
