Summary: I want to love and to be loved like Noah and Allie!
Review: The greatest accolade I can give this author is that I after reading it, I immediately recommended it to five other people and recommended it on our email bulletin board. No other novel has moved me quite like this one. I've been an avid romance novel reader since my teens. There is no better love story than this real life one between Noah and Allie. The beauty of the love and compassion these two feel for each other and Noah's love and concern for Allie "till death do us part" will make you cry and make you try to express that kind of love to those you love. The poetry is in the emotion, in the writing, in the living, and in the poems in the "Notebook." The cost of the book isn't its value; the story and the feelings it will evoke in you are worth more than the price of the book

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Deeply moving love story
Review: The love Noah has for Allie is overwhelming. This book restored my faith in mankind and what we are capable of if we love unquestioning. I need to read this again and again but I have to buy more tissues first. It may me a tearjerker but certainly not because it is sad but because it is so beautiful. It is great to have such raw poetic emotion written by a male. Thank you, Mr. Sparks, you must be a very special person.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An inspiring "must read" for all type "A" personalities.
Review: This book helped to put my priorities back where they belong (but often wander). Many times through the book I found myself having to put it down for awhile just so that I could "get a grip" on my emotions. Sometimes we get so busy with work that we do not realize how short our time here with our children/spouse really is. This book will remind you - and leave you with a lot of wet tissues

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: was simply wonderful
Review: this book made me late to work because I stayed up too late in order to read it

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best book I have ever read.
Review: The Notebook is the best book I have ever read. Nicholas Sparks knows how to write about the true meaning of love. This book makes you realize what the meaning of love and marriage is all about and really makes you think about the marriage vows that say "for better or for worse." Love can last forever!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The most romantic, inspiring book of the century.
Review: i'm reviewing this book before i am even finished it. i am 3/4 of the way through, and i already feel that it's the most romantic, inspiring book of the century. i thought i loved bridges of madison county in the same way, but the notebook is so much more passionate. now i know that i could never love a book as i do this one. it's so clear to me now. i can't wait to buy a copy for everyone i know at christmastime

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Precious, absolutely precious!
Review: My reading group has chosen this book for review. Human interest stories such as this allow the reader to relate his/her life events to those of the subjects. Mystery, love, confusion, and last but not least, love plays its part throughout the pages. Read it and weep

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Barely Got to Page 50
Review: I started to read The Notebook book only because my neighbor forced it upon me, and I had to stop at page 50. I know that since I am not a romantic person, it was not a good idea to read it, but i wanted to please my neighbor, so i tried and, believe me I TRIED to finish it (or AT LEAST get to page 100)! Nicholas Sparks' writing style horrified me! I felt I was reading a C-students narrative in Junior High!I can now fully understand why a lot of his books are made into movies; many directors and writers are looking for a book that they won't have to rewrite to make a movie. I felt like I was reading a script, it was all dialogue and actions, and, oh yeah, more ACTIONS! He was barely able to describe anything at all! I will never again read a book by Nicholas Sparks, or even let alone THINK about doing it!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Forever Yours
Review: Beautiful story of love that lives forever. Nicholas Sparks once again writes a little quick read story about love in a fairly common situation. Unlike "A Walk to Remember" the author gives the characters and the story a lot more depth.

Sparks has the ability to describe scenery and characters to my satisfaction. He doesn't get bogged down in useless characterizations or drawn out plots. He doesn't overwhelm the reader with excess research. He keeps his stories easy to read and not too complicated. As with his other books this is a couple hour read that allows the reader a little escapism without much thought.

I really enjoyed meeting Noah the local country boy who kept his past summer love in his heart and Allie who returned the love. It was also enjoyable to read about the lessons Noah's father had given him to help him mature into a real man. What can you say about a man who likes John Wayne, reads poetry and appreciates the small things in life, has a fit body and truely loves girl? What can you say about a girl who is a painter, comes from an upper crest family and appreciates the love others have for her?

When you have finished reading this story you will wipe your eyes of the welled up tears and realize you're smiling all along. It's a beautiful love story and a good read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I finished it the day I brought it !!!!
Review: Anyone who is into reading romance fiction novels will love to read this book over again. This book is certainly a one-night read. Noah and Allie are characters in the book that have this incredible chemistry. I would suggest people reading the book, and to see the movie opening June 25.
