Rating: Summary: INSPIRING!!! Review: This is the most amazing book I've ever read. I've actually read it several times now and it never ceases to touch me in my very soul. As a writer, I adore how Sparks shows great admiration for the art of poetry and how it is shown in such an amazing light. Poetry is not something to be overanalyzed...it should be allowed to seep in and affect you in ways that you cannot comprehend. But poetry is not the main focus of this book. This book tells a timeless story of love...but not everyday love, and this is not an everyday book.
Rating: Summary: Incredible book! Review: This is a great book. I recommend it highly!
Rating: Summary: The Notebook Review: Spark's has delivered another sweet and touching love story, wrought with the complications of life. Obstacles such as family, time and disease must be overcome to unite these two lovers.The Notebook is a lovely story. I was particularly touched by the ending, while the two are now in a nursing home. I think sparks shows an amazing understanding of alzheimer disease and demonstrates wonderfully the extreme difficulty in surviving a spouse who suffers from it. A wonderful book to curl up with on a Sunday afternoon.
Rating: Summary: The Notebook Review: This was a wonderful book. I've read a couple of other by the same author and I found The Notebook a lot better. I considered it somewhat of a classic. I borrowed the book and am considering purchasing it. The author has such a way with words, its truley amazing to me. I loved his style of writting and would treasure some of his written words. This book is definately something to reread again, at maybe another point in your life. The ending was wonderful. I cried a lot at the end. I reread it to my husband when I was finished, he thought it was touching also. This is a love story everyone should read. It truley is what real love i all about. It give us some faith that true soul mates do exist.
Rating: Summary: Hopeless romantics only..... Review: I came to Amazon to buy my second copy of 'The Notebook.' I loaned my first one out, and it is still being passed around. I was curious to read the reader reviews and surprised to find that people either loved it (higher percentage it seems) or hated it. I think it comes down to this. If you are a hopeless romantic that loves or has been loved deeply, this is a wonderful read. If not, you would be better served to spend your money elsewhere. Noah and Allie's story spans a lifetime and is as tender as any I've ever read. Critique the writing, or writing style if you will, but you can't knock this tender love story. It's one for the ages. Everyone should be so lucky as to know the kind of love that Noah had for Allie. I'm thankful that Sparks took the time to share it with the world.
Rating: Summary: Mingle of Love and Beautiful Romance Review: A very well written story, it contain a huge amount of beautiful feelings and love. A real romance which could be hard to find in reality or even in other romantic stories. The writer has a magic of letting you - as a reader- feel, sence even get hurted with every single events on the story. You would have this feeling of striking the story's event somhow and beg Allie not to leave Noah again specially after those long years of separation ( which is going to happened any way later on). Personaly, i found myself deeply involved on this story, i found my self crying specially when the writer was describing the relation between Noah and Allie when she got sick with Al Zahaimer, and how Noah feelings towards her never changed a bit. I should realy congratulate the writer on this amazing story which makes you enjoy and live for a short time the real romance & love that has disapeared from our real world to find it only on his books.
Rating: Summary: Ah, young love! Review: A bodice-ripper sans ripped bodices (ha, she unbuttons *his* shirt). Personally, I'd have thought she'd opt for a shower before going back to meet Lon. No wonder he disappeared. In short, about as plausible as Love Story, and serves the same purpose: makes the ladies sigh and look askance at the guy snoring next to 'em. Stick with "How We Met" in Ann Landers. At least they're real.
Rating: Summary: It's so sweet! Review: I started reading this book after a friend recommended it to me. It starts off well. Noah ( the main character) gets reunited with his old girlfriend after 15 or so years. Then it junps ahead like 50 years and starts to get confusing. In the end it all works out. This book is very touching and romantic. I heard alot about the ending being a tearjerker, so I guess overestimated it. So I didn't cry at all because I kept waiting for something really sad. But still, it's a good book.
Rating: Summary: You have GOT to read this book!!! Review: I don't know whether anyone will ever read this review, but I had to write it. "The Notebook" is one of the sweetest love stories that I have ever read. Nicholas Sparks seems to know just how to hit the right chord, at least with me anyway, and I've never thought of myself as a hopeless romantic. This story is much deeper than "Message in a Bottle", which was a nice story, but didn't have nearly the uplifting quality that "The Notebook" does. I usually don't cry when I read books, but I cried BUCKETS with this one, mainly because of the tenderness that Sparks gives his characters, and the beautiful pictures that he paints with words. I think that one of the most attractive things about the way that he writes is that I think we all want to be loved this way. Sparks has a tremendous gift that he graciously shares, and I am thankful to have read this book.
