Summary: The Notebook
Review: I read Nicholas Spark's Message in a Bottle and decided I wanted to read more of his books. I loved Message in a Bottle but I enjoyed The Notebook even more. This is a heartwarming story about how love works in mysterious ways. Noah and Allie fall in love as kids and many years later they find there way back to one another. Allie found Noah in the paper and wanted to visit him one more time before she got married. When she saw him though, she feel in love all over again and it didn't even feel like many years had gone by. The end of the book has a dramatic twist and made me cry. This book seriously moved me and made me believe in having a soul mate. The moral of the story is no matter what obstical life puts in your way, true love will always find its way in. I loved how this book made me feel and if you like love stories, this is the ultimate one. Read The Notebook for a powerful love story.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing Love Story
Review: A friend had told me that her husband and her read this book on a road trip and loved it. She said both her AND her husband even cried!! Once I got a chance to read it, I absolutely fell into this book from the second I started reading. I am the same age as Allie, and feel like I could totally relate with both Allie and Noah. My husband and I are completely and totally in love, and with the way Sparks describes them being in love and having that connection, it made me fall in love with my husband all over again realizing what a good thing I had. I even caught myself crying several times just because I could feel their love for each other so much.
This book is definitely one that will be difficult to put down until you're finished!
I've read A Walk to Remember and the Wedding by Nicholas Sparks. So far, I've loved ALL of his books and look forward to reading the next.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Nice - Quick read
Review: The book for me was a nice escape. A quick read in a hectic time(the holiday's). I was taken away by Sparks delightful story of a "true love". I read the book in 2 days time and thought it relaxing. Sparks description of the surroundings and his lover were wonderful. Enjoy!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Love Story
Review: My mother in law told me about "The Notebook" by Nicholas Sparks, and I just had to read it because I love to read love stories. Let me tell you, I only picked up the book twice and within those two times I finished the whole book. It was so good that I could not put it down for a second. The book is so real even after you finish reading it you can't stop thinking about it. Warning: you will need a box of tissues towards the end so that you can continue to read. To me it is one of the best love stories I have read so far. I think that anyone would enjoy this book and if not something is definitely wrong, or you read the last chapter first which would mess up the whole book for you. Great beginning, great ending, and great book. Don't miss out on reading it. Also I was told that there is another book called "The Wedding" by Sparks, that is added on to "The Notebook." But you have to read "The Notebook" first. Hope this review is helpful to you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: So Romantic
Review: I read this book a couple of years ago, but I haven't forgotten how romantic it is. It started my love for Mr. Spark's novels. They're mostly short, but very sweet love stories. Sure to bring a tear to your eye.

Summary: My Favorite
Review: This is my favorite book of all time. I worked in a nursing home for years and have seen so much of what Sparks describes here. The book brought tears to my eyes more than once. He does a wonderful job of bringing these characters to life. This books speaks volumes about love and life in a limited amount of pages. I recommend this book with all my heart. Happy reading!

Summary: Yikes!
Review: Umm...

Wow.
Okay - I'm a seventeen year old girl and I absolutely adored "A Walk to Remember" - I thought the book was charming and could hardly put it down - So when I discovered my mom had a copy of "The Notebook" - another book by Mr. Sparks - I was ecstatic! I immediately picked it up and began to read.

Wow was that a mistake.
___

Up until after reading "The Notebook" - I can't say I've ever been... embarrassed by a book. But this one definitely "sparked" bashfulness. I have never read a book that was so... blatantly graphic in it's portrayal of "love making" - So graphic that it went from a sweet, innocent tale of childhood love rekindled... to a harlequin romance novel under guise of a love story. It was as if I were watching a couple exact their love from a tree outside their window. Now, excuse me if you disagree here... but I rather don't like the whole "peeping-tom" feeling. And the ending (which generated a rather mordant "Ew" from it's reader) brought no ease to my... well, frankly, disgust from the previous chapters.

If I wanted to read about "s-e-x", I would have picked up a Fabio-encased H.R.N. But such eroticism from a Nicolas Sparks book? Not at all what I had expected, nor hoped.

(and unfortunately... not the only gratuitous sketching from this author... I'll stick with "A Walk to Remember" and leave the others on the shelf... thank you.)
