Rating: Summary: Wow .. Will blow you away Review: Nicholas Sparks weaves a wonderful tale in this book of powerful, everlasting love. It is so romantic !! I loved it, and couldn't put it down. The end was so touching !
Rating: Summary: Love Everlasting Review: This was an absolutely beautiful story that shows that love can and will transcend all time.....separated for years these two young lovers rediscover each other right before it is too late. Then the "notebook" documents their special love and I defy anyone to read the last two chapters without weeping!!! A tragedy??? No, indeed not......a REAL love story....everlasting.....unexplainable.........unequaled.
Rating: Summary: The Notebook Review Review: I have just finished the book, The Notebook, by the author, Nicholas Sparks. The Notebook is a book about Noah's life and the love of his life that he lost in his teen years. This book was, for the most part, enjoyable. I liked how there was some type of mystery, like who Allie chooses in the end, Noah, her first love or Lon, her fiancé. I like the fact that you don't know exactly if Noah and Allie stay together. I like the way the author describes Allie's emotions, especially in the passage on page 85, "She hadn't slept well, waking after every dream, and she remembered seeing the hands of the clock in different positions during the night, as if verifying the passage of time." The part of the book which I don't like is at the end. It talks a lot about when they are older and about to die. It is really depressing. "We do not foresee the future, but then who can? I do not live now as I expected to. And what did I expect? ... I thought that perhaps I would start a hobby, what I did not know, but possibly shipbuilding. In bottles. Small, detailed, impossible to consider now with my hands. But I am not bitter."To me, the theme was about if you love someone so much that you can barely survive without them, then, no matter how much you fight it your will end up with them. For the most part, I agree with it, but I don't believe that life is always going to have a happy ending like The Notebook does. I have never had a tragic love affair, like Allie and Noah, so the book doesn't really relate to my life at all. I would recommend this book, but mostly to girls or people who like love stories. The Notebook can be, at times depressing, but, all in all, it's a good book. 327
Rating: Summary: Excellent, Excellent, Excellent Review: Who knew a man could write such a romantic book and not have it dripping with sleaze. I was so impressed by how much heart and soul this book has. A great book to read while the weather is bad and the kids are in bed.
Rating: Summary: #1 Book of all time Review: This is the best book I have ever read and I have read it 4 tumes. I recommend it to all my friends. I hope to someday be able to attend a signing by Nicholas Sparks. He is my favorite author. I have read all of his books and look forward to any new ones anxiously. The Notebook was a true love story. A story of two people who stayed together and loved each other even when health reasons tried to pull them apart. This is the kind of love everyone dreams about.
Rating: Summary: Sparks Super Fan Review: It's hard for me to pick up a Nicholas Sparks book and put it back down. The stories are so sweet, but just so normal. The characters are always multi-faceted women and men who are looking for that person to complete them. The love that Noah and Allie share in this novel is the kind of love we all want. They are two people who fall in love and let their hearts arrange what their minds cannot. I'm now on to my next Sparks novel. They always warm my heart.
Rating: Summary: THE NOTEBOOK - Nicholas Sparks Review: To put it simply... A very beautiful love story. A must for anyone that is a hopeless romantic... Also, the ones that don't believe that true love exist.
Rating: Summary: It's beautiful. Review: I was struggling to get through the last half of the book because I was crying. When you read a book that makes you cry you end up crying for so many reasons. It is more than just a story of a husband with a wife who has alzheimer's...it's a story of love that lasts a lifetime, love rekindled each day lived. It's a book you can put down but a story you'll never forget. With the amount of sentiment invoked, I'd say "The Notebook" is in the same genre with "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom.
Rating: Summary: Remains Sparks best work Review: The Notebook was Nicholas Sparks debut novel. It remains my favorite novel of 6 books Sparks has written to date. The Notebook is a story of everlasting love and true love. It gives us all hope that love exists in this world. The story starts out with a man walking towards what seems to be his wife's room in a nursing home. The nurses look at him in pitty as he never gives up. He has a book tucked under his arm and is going to see his wife in hopes today will be the day she remembers their story. This book is a must read for all those hopeless romantics out there. If you enjoy Sparks and haven't read The Notebook, you must pick it up.
Rating: Summary: BEST Story Review: I read this story and I couldn't put it down. I love this book, I cried at the end. Though when Nicholas sparks switched to the hospital sence I got a little mixed up thinking the story had ended. But other than that I would recommend this book to anyone who is a true romantic at heart. It's very touching and heart felt.
