Summary: A Rare Gem!!!
Review: The love described in this book doesn't come along too often, and only to the lucky. When these two people meet, they find they were meant to be together, and battle many different odds to be united. The book's present time is the golden years, and
memories of the love they shared, as is implied in the title of the book.was kept in a notebook. Whenever they need a quick pick-me-up they go back to this notebook. A fast read read for me, this book held my interest at every page. It was sweet, it was romantic, and I'd recommend this anyone:)

Summary: A Magical Love Story: "The Notebook"
Review: Nicholas Sparks' "The Notebook" is a wonderful story of never ending love and passion between two people. It is a story of two teenagers who fall in love one summer and how that summer changes them forever. As the reader, I related to this story because of the desire to have a love like these two people share. Their companionship, friendship, and loyalty is evident throughout the entire book and nothing is able to destroy it; not time, not distance, not even tragedy. This book is written for people of all ages, from teenagers to seniors. It is a very easy read and the story just flows from one page to the next, making it a very pleasant read. Make sure to have a box of Kleenex near by, however, because this book touched my heart like no other book I have read, and will probably do the same to you! If you are looking for a quick read and a true love story, this is the book for you!

Summary: Excellent Book
Review: I bought this book because the movie is coming out this summer and I like to read books before I see the actual movies, this was a wonderful book. I couldn't put it down and ended up finishing it in one afternoon. The way Nicholas Sparks creates a scene and conveys characters' feelings. Everything is so vivid, you can feel every single emotion, as if you're the one who is experiencing the plot of the book, not the characters. I can't wait to see how they convey Noah and Allie's love on screen, but somehow I know that it will not measure up to the way Nicholas Sparks created their love. It's a love that you only wish you could experience.

Summary: Spark's Best!
Review: This is absolutely Nicholas Spark's best. It is a read that I simply could not put down. He has a way of pulling you into the story as if you are right there with the characters. You feel what they feel and grow to care about each one. A must read!

Summary: Warm & fuzzy, like dryer lint (apologies to the lint)
Review: I had never read anything by Nicholas Sparks but was intrigued by a preview for the movie version of "The Notebook." I eagerly read and read, hoping for some semblance of characterization and some sort of plot beyond the tired cliche of (1) Summer of Love, (2) Circumstances Intervene, and (3) True Love Prevails. In better hands, the cliche can be mindless, innocuous fluff - beach reading. In these, it left me worried for the dumbing down of my own language skills. I don't know that I've ever read writing more hokey, and I am including Hallmark cards in that group. This book offers *nothing* - the plot is color-by-numbers, the characters undeveloped and unclear (who are these people? and why do they talk like the diaries of 12-year-old girls?), and it doesn't even provide you with the standard "colorful Southern characters" that could have made this lifeless journey at least a little more entertaining. I do think there could have been more to this story in different hands, especially the treatment of the current day storyline about a relationship dealing with Alzheimer's. However, "The Notebook" took a situation that could have added real depth and nuance to the characters and instead, ended it pat, simple, and trite. If I could, I would return this book for a refund, but then that would mean that someone else could buy it. Better to throw it out and hope it goes out of print.

Summary: AH, LOVE
Review: Love is only the most wonderful thing on the planet, and what is more refreshing and uplifting than the blossoms of love among youth? Nothing, in my opinion. Personally, I will never become tired of a good love story and The Notebook is just that. In fact, it is somewhat hard to grasp that a man actually wrote it. The vivid descriptions play a major role in the novel. The places, people, dreams, hopes come alive on the pages. It is almost like poetry. Of course, the love between the youngsters is lost for a while because family members don't approve of the lads social status and therefore think that he is not good enough for their daughter. Each of them moves on in life and she winds up engaged to another fellow several years later...only to entertain the idea of her first love and what it would have been like with him. I cried seventeen times when I read this novel for the first time. It ranks as the second best love story I have read so far this year. (The first is "Lucky Monkeys In The Sky")
