Summary: Are we really this dumb?
Review: I can't believe this guy's books are selling. I'm no damned genius, but I could have told you what was about to happen on the next page with 100% accuracy. And the writing, damnation! I've never seen so many cliches in one place since the last time I heard a gradution speech. This could be an excerpt: "A penny saved is a penny earned, actions speak louder than words, and all you need is love." This is a terrible book. But you know what, this guy may know that. I have a sneaking suspicion this guy is smart enough to know that his stuff has the literary content of a hooked on phonics brochure, but is able to make millions of people take him seriously while he laughs all the way to the bank. He can't write at all, but he knows how to make a buck. More power to him.

Summary: Fate will always bring soulmates together
Review: I was told to read this book by my grandmother who said the book was written for my soulmate and I. We are both still young and have not come together yet because of circumstances beyond our control. This book made me believe that it will happen when the time is right. Anyone who believes true love prevails should read this book.

Summary: Touching and a good story
Review: The story line was really good and I loved it alot. Nicolas Sparks really knows how to choose a good story. I loved the mystery in the begining and the resolution of the long sought over problem in the end... all around great.

Summary: Garbage.
Review: I'm embarrassed for all the people who liked this book. I agree with the reader from northeast PA (July 11) that reading it was a complete waste of time. It doesn't entertain, enlighten, inspire, or make you feel anything except complete disgust with yourself for having bought the book in the first place. I'd recommend something of true literary quality, but most of the reviewers of The Notebook would never appreciate or understand it if I did.

Summary: One book I MUST share!
Review: Began reading this book on a family overnight camping trip-absolutely couldn't put it down. I read by the fire, inside my tent with a flashlight while my husband and kids told ghost stories, and then finished at 7:30 the next morning. Haven't cried this much in a long time. NOah and Allie had a truly remarkable love that any of us would be blessed to find...READ IT-it's great. I can't wait to share my copy!

Summary: Don't waste your time.
Review: I can't believe how many people liked this book--they must not do much reading or they'd know how completely unremarkable this is. The characters are cardboard and the story is 100% unoriginal. The numerous descriptive and explanatory passages are unimaginative and try the patience. Somebody in my book group selected this; what a joke--there was absolutely nothing to discuss. Plus, the ending was completely manipulative, pouring on the sentiment to try to get you to care about characters that are completely unreal. I guess Nicholas Sparks is laughing all the way to the bank, but as a writer he has no talent. The only kind of book I can't stand is the kind that insults my intelligence, and this one does. To the people who loved this: please, browse around amazon.com and expand your horizons a bit. If you do more reading, maybe your taste will improve.

Summary: An instant favorite
Review: This book captured my heart and soul from its first paragraph to its last. Never before have I been so swept away by a story. Sparks wrote a novel that read like poetry. His story was a simple one but one that people can relate to universally...either because they have experienced a love so pure and true or because they are still looking for that love. It's a book to be read over and over and treasured for life. Reccommend it to friends of yours but don't lend it out for you will surely want it back!!!!!

Summary: One of the best books I've ever read!!!
