Rating: Summary: Speechless...... Review: I have to admit when I first began to read this book I thought it would be one of those books that you could never get into. I could have not been more wrong. Although the introduction is not the best, the rest of the book makes up for it. The love described in this book and the idea of Soul Mates was so unbelievablely well put together. I rooted for Noah the whole way and at times felt myself choking back some tears. The love described in this book is too great for words. I would highly recommend this book to anyone needing a soul-deep love story.
Rating: Summary: My "The Notebook" review Review: I had to wait a while after reading this book to write this review. Just enough time to get my composure, you understand. "The Notebook" by Nicholas Sparks was chosen by my library book review group to read and review for the month of April. This is my third book written by Sparks to read. The other two being "Message In A Bottle" and "A Walk To Remember". Both were very good books and both were made into motion pictures. I don't know if "The Notebook" has been made into a motion picture, but if not, I think it should be. I can just picture Paul Newman as the senior Noah, talking about his love for Allie. I might add that I've donated four boxes of Kleen-X to Sparks' books, two boxes on "The Notebook". I'm a romantic. I love to read romance. And anyone who thinks romance is just for the young will have a change of heart after reading this novel. Although "Message In A Bottle" and "A Walk To Remember" were both sweet reads, this book by far was much sweeter. Why? Very simple. Because it lasted through a lifetime. In the beginning, I thought the book started slowely. Too much detail for me. And it was almost obvious Sparks was still a little "green". However, I almost knew he wouldn't let me down. So I read on. The more I read, the better the writting and the story. Sparks writes from the heart, and therefore, he manages to touch the heart of the reader. Something any really good writer should thrive to learn. His loves scenes describing the physical act of two people coming together as one is as well written and heart warming as any I've ever read. I hate a love scene written in SMUT, and Sparks knows how to evade that all together. This makes him special with his ability to let the reader know what the characters are feeling and still keep it beautiful. That, my friend, takes talent. My hat is off to Sparks on this novel. A wonderful read for anyone of any age.
Rating: Summary: It does exist!! Review: True love of course. This book is absolutely amazing! There is something about an old couple still in love after so many years of being together, something so special, unique and so pure, that I can't wait to grow old with my soon to be husband! The way this man loves his wife in this story will leave you feeling a sense of comfort, that it can happen. I think every human-being should read this book, it touches on something we all crave, true, unconditional love.This book made me realize how precious true love is, to never settle for less and not to take it forgranted! I am more sure now than I have ever been! Thank you Nicholas Sparks for your inspirational and well written novel.
Rating: Summary: What the heck did I just read? Review: This was very weird written book. It seemed all over the place, yet only in one place, I don't know I'm still like .... ok? However, despite that there were a few passages that had me on the verge of tears. I wish he (Mr. Sparks) wrote the whole book in the poetic way he wrote some of the letters the characters had written to one another. I could've done without the minute detailing of each and every movement, it dragged the story out and oftentimes I was like "come on". What saved this book for me was his idea of Soul Mate love. That made up for a lot of the nuances the book had. All in all it seemed rush.
Rating: Summary: Romantic Review: True love can happen at any age ... true love can last a lifetime!!! What a great book!!! Only took me 2 days to finish!
Rating: Summary: Great Read for Teenagers Review: I read a review once that said this book was "Not your average trashy beach novel." I found this sentance perfectly suitable for the book. It is sweet and Romantic beyond belief. Though it's kind of predictable (especially if you've ever read any other Sparks books) but It's none the less enjoyable and I think everyone can relate. Though there are a few parts that arent exactly G rated, this book is amazing and touching. All of my teachers have read it and say that they cried all the way through the end. Though I didnt, It's touching and I highly reccomend you buy it here along with "A walk to Remember" and "Message in a Bottle."
Rating: Summary: i love this book Review: this book is so good i love nicholas sparks. but i must warn u have a box of tissues because u will need it.
Rating: Summary: Absolutely Loved it Review: Nicholas Sparks never fails to write wonderful love stories. He writes with such passion that I found myself laughing along one minute and crying the next. Really a great book, I was very shocked to learn it was based on his Grandparent's lives because it was very, very sad, but the book was excellent and I would definitely reccomend it.
Rating: Summary: a tear-jerker! Review: Both times that I have read this book, I could not put it down if my life depended on it. At some points I couldn't even see the pages through my blurry vision. It is beautifully written, and Nicholas Sparks describes the characters so vividly, that you would think that you were right there, experiencing and seeing everything take shape. It was realistic too, not like some super sappy, fake book that would never take place in real life. If you are looking for something wonderful to read, pick this up. I would highly recommend it!
Rating: Summary: The Notebook - A MUST Read For 12- up Review: Im 12 and just recently read The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks. There is only 1 word to describe this book and that is amazing! Its a story about love, the most powerful thing in the world. A woman, Allie, spent a summer w/ Noah. They loved each other deeply. After the summer was over she moved away. 14 years later she gets engaged and goes back to tell him. She goes back and they spend a lot of time together and she starts to love him again. Does she pick Noah or her fiance? I leave that up to you to find out! I recomend this book for girls mostly. Hope you read it!
