Summary: Incredible
Review: This book was truly a work of art. I could not put it down. I cried, I laughed and I hurt for the characters. I am a North Carolina Native and I could see everything he was talking about and I felt as if I were home even though I am hundreds of miles away. The emotional rollercoaster you are on while you are entranced in the book is unbelieveable. I have read 5 books by Nicholas Sparks and I intend to read everything he has out and pray he continues to share his gifts with us. Thank you Mr Sparks for a truly heartwarming and endearing storyline.

Summary: Tissues a prerequisite.
Review: There should be a warning on this book informing the reader that tissue and the probability of reading the book in one sitting would be required. Through flashback, Sparks keeps the reader guessing until the end. The love cherished by Noah and Allie became tangible, a love that many have or want to experience. Share the book with others, because the love captured is similar to watching a couple in real life.

Summary: AMAZING

Summary: Still with me after 1 year ago
Review: Well, I read this book a year ago at the hospital where I was a PCW caring for the elderly. When I read this book I couldn't help but look around and compare the couple in this book to real live couples in the home-hospital that I was working in. I want to be like Noah and have a love so strong in my marriage like he had with Allie in his someday. I hope to make it 60 years plus like these guys. I cried during this book. It really touched my heart. The love between a man and a woman so many years into it. Just touching.

Summary: A True Romance
Review: "The Notebook" is the best love story. A North Carolina man named Noah Calhoun and his wife Allie live in an extended care facility called Creekside. Allie suffers from Alzheimer's disease. Each day Noah reads to his wife from a notebook he composed himself about their love for one another. For just a glimmer of time Allie becomes lucid although not for long. Through the notebook, Noah does what he enjoys the most in life... falling in love with his wife...over and over again.

Summary: It just doesn't get any better than this
Review: If perfection can be achieved in 50,000 words of prose, then this well might be perfection. Although, I am not a fan of Sparks' subsequent novels, The Notebook is truly an inspiring story. My husband read this aloud to me through his tears. We both laughed and cried and loved Noah and Allie. A beautiful, beautiful story.

Summary: You only get a chance once in a lifetime...
Review: The love of my life gave me this book to read after he had read it. What a gift! I wept all the way through it. I can only hope that someday the two of us can be together and find just a fraction of happiness that Noah and Allie found. Thanks, Mr. Sparks, for capturing the wonder of love and sharing it.

Summary: The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks
Review: Wow! This is a great book! If you are looking for a novel with literary merit, this is not it, but a good heart wrenching story, this is the one! The Notebook is a classic fairy-tale, love overcomes all. The majority of the book takes place in the past and is being read out of a notebook. After Noah and Allie fell in love, they were separated for fourteen years. Upon meeting again, Allie (engaged to an attorney) and Noah's love was rekindled. Falling in love with Noah was a complete "no, no" for Allie because of societal pressure put on her by her family and friends to marry for "class." Allie loves both Lon and Noah, thus she is faced with the ultimate decision of who to pick, the stable sensible one or the laid back anything goes man. Sparks keeps the reader wondering until the very last chapter. Personally I cried, but tears do not always imply sorrow. This novel is a true romance novel, full of tragedy and hope that love will and does concur all.

Summary: The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks
Review: I loved the book and found it very inspirational. The way it starts off in the present, and then goes back into time and leads up to the future in the form of story was creative and helped the mystery of the book. Sparks shows Noah's passion and love for Allie by letting us know everything though Noah is feeling or thinking. It makes one feel like they are there actually witnessing the love story and feeling what Noah and Allie are. Once you start the book, you can't put it down. It's addicting! It makes you want to know what is really going to happen between Allie and Noah. You just want them to be together so bad that you keep telling Allie to tell Noah that she still loves him. The first two quarters lead you up to the climax of Noah and Allie making love. You can actually feel what they are feeling because they pour their hearts out to one another and release all the feelings they have been building up in the first half of the book. It is such a passionate scene, that it makes you step back and wonder how to people can be so profoundly in love after so many years. You get all happy because you think they will be the perfect couple for forever, and then the story takes you for another surprise. This book is just so powerful and heart wrenching, that you can not help but love it. There is never a dull moment; it's full of passion, heart ache, depression and love. All these combined make the book mysterious and great. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves love stories because this is one of the all time greatest love stories. This is the second Nicholas Sparks book I have read and it won't be the last. All his books are worth reading, trust me, you won't regret it!

Summary: Hurry and Read!!
Review: The Notebook was the most inspirational love story I have read in a long time. As a first time reader of Spark's literature, I am completely excited about reading more of his works and discovering his techniques. The story depicts the life of two lovers, Allie and Noah, separated fourteen years beyond their control. Later in life, the star crossed lovers meet again, rekindling the flame from their past. Through many obstacles, the two realize the world is not complete without the other despite the hardships and consequences of their love affair... As readers, we are drawn heavily into their life stories full of deceit, happiness and pain actually told in the form of foreshadowing. Later, we realize that the protagonist, Noah is reading to us the actual "notebook" which represents the struggle of finding true love, discovering that love can happen at any age, and showing that "miracles" do come true. I would highly recommend this novel to anyone that is willing to have an open heart and shed a few tears. The writing style of Sparks is amazing; he gives out just enough imagery, yet he leaves the reader constantly wanting more. The simultaneous thoughts of Allie and Noah add to the suspense Spark uses to evoke the climax of his story. Constantly, you will wonder what's next and only hope for the best in this twisting love triangle. The Notebook is an excellent novel for anyone, man or woman who is willing to discover the possibilities of life and romance and just to appreciate an outstanding piece of fiction.
