Summary: This IS what love is all about......!
Review: I have read most of N. Sparks' books, and I have to say....THIS is my favorite!!
A wonderful story of what love really is. This story takes the reader through the stages of love and marriage, health and illness, youth and maturity.
I have recommended this book to so many friends and casual acquaintances. This story will touch anyone's heart. It will make you smile and it will make you cry and some of the scenes will make you laugh out loud.
This book made me understand more about Alzheimers and the affect it has on it's victim and the family members dealing with this devastating disease.
Do yourself a favor and pick this book up and read it. It will not disappoint you. This is not a depressing story, but rather a story filled with love and knowledge that sheds light on the things in life that really matter.

Summary: The best book I have ever read...
Review: Oh my God. I just read the best book I have ever had the opportunity to read. The Notebook, by Nicholas Sparks, is undoubtedly a book I will never forget for the rest of my life. It's a love story, but so much more than that. This book goes beyond when they were young and first in love... it deals with the aftermath, what happens to the couple, and the painful reality of Alzheimer's. It is by far the saddest book I have ever read, but it is also the most romantic and beautiful and... I can't even explain. Just read it.

Summary: LOVE
Review: If you remember "The Love Story" with fondness this is the book for you. Nicholas Sparks proves that there are still some publishers that will take a chance on newcomers. "The Notebook" is a love story that exemplifies what that word means. Every one who picks up this book is bound to envy the forever kind of love portrayed by the author. Set the box of tissue by your chair as you read.

Summary: Which book to read by Nicholas Sparks? THIS ONE!
Review: I really enjoyed reading this book. Very sweet! This is a very quick and easy read. I actually cried during parts of this book. How often do you find a book that actually makes you cry or laugh out loud? It is very rare for me to experience that kind of emotion while reading a book. I highly recommend reading this book. In my opinion this is the best book by Nicholas Sparks. If you are trying to decide which one of his books to read - choose this one.

Summary: Touched my heart!
Review: This was so much more than a love story. It gave the reader a glimpse of the miracle that is so often attached to true love, transcending all obstacles. The richness in the relationship of two people overcoming infirmity sends a message that there is more to life than what meets the eye. I work in a dementia unit and recommend this book to everyone!

Summary: Beautiful Real Love Story
Review: I couldn't wait to get home and finish this delightful, wonderful book. It's a beautiful book. Nicholas Sparks writes with great emotion, yet not too gooey. This book is a reflection of "perfect love" meant to be! Every couple should share a piece of this kind of love sometime in their lives'. The world would be a much better place if they did.

Summary: A Wonderful Love Story
Review: The Notebook was a very good book and I really enjoyed it. The book kept me interested, I couldn't put it down, and it was very moving. The Notebook is the kind of book that touches many people. I know almost every girl dreams about finding the perfect man and falling in love. This book makes it seem possible.
At the beginning the book was kind of slow. It just tells about the life of Noah and the back round information. The information in necessary though. You need to know because it tells about the wonderful love story of two teenagers one summer. Once I heard about the main part of the book and heard about the summer Noah and Allie fell in love, I got hooked. That is what made the book appealing. I am a teenager and love stories are the kind of thing that most teenage girls like to read about. It is what teenagers dream about.
I really enjoyed this book and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. Just remember that the beginning came get boring at times but it becomes better, much better.

Summary: The end is better then the beginning
Review: Even though "The Notebook" is Nicholas Sparks first book, I read it after "A Walk to Remember" and "Message in a Bottle". This is a nice creative love story taking place in the late 1940's (post WWII). Noah has never forgotten his first love, Allie, and can't seem to get over her, and then she suddenly comes back into his life again. The problem? She is engaged to another man. About halfway through the book we skip forward to the 1990's. Allie is now confined to a nursing home and suffering from Alzheimer's. Her husband reads her love story from a notebook everyday in the hopes of helping her remember who she is and who she loves. The identity of who her husband has been all these years is kept a secret until the very near the end of the book, and while it is quite obvious who he is, it really could have gone either way and still been a good book. It's a story about true and long lasting love, apparently based on the author's own grandparents story. However, I found the sex scene grossly inappropriate for a story even loosly about his loved ones (really, do we need that many details? It's mainly gratuitous sex in a book...badly done). I found the rest of the story pretty good and mostly believable, although the end kind of lays in on a bit thick. For the most part, the second half of the story is far superior to the beginning, although the beginning is more romantic...or is it? You can decide that yourself. This book is better then "Message in a Bottle" but I prefered "A Walk to Remember". However, I am still in search of good romance minus the smut that Sparks and many other authors find necessary. I'll just have to keep looking.
