Rating: Summary: If you want a tear jerker then this is the book to read!! Review: I watched the film 'Message in a Bottle' yesterday and wanted to get the book. Speaking to my future mother in law the next day I found out that she owned the book 'Message in a Bottle' and 'The Notebook'. Today I have read the whole book 'The Notebook'. Subsequently I have not stopped crying. This is the best book I have read this year. I am a very keen Danielle Steele fan and have a copy of all her published books and this book has topped the best of her's. Highly recommended - but make sure you have a loving partner afterwards so that s/he gets a big cuddle - it make's you feel better. So now I written my review of this book. I will be buying my own copies of all Nicolas Sparks books tomorrow.
Rating: Summary: I cried buckets! Review: What a BEAUTIFUL love story! Other reviewers have said that they wish to be loved like this - I agree. My grandmother suffered with Alzheimers Disease before her death a few years ago, and this book let me come to terms with and to understand better the disease. I do think, though, that her husband was rather too patient to be true.
Rating: Summary: An incredibly touching and heartwrenching story Review: I don't think anyone should miss this book. This was the best romance book that I have read. The story was not one of those happily ever after type of love stories, but one of true love, uncertainty and passion. I would recommend this to anyone.
Rating: Summary: The best love story I've ever read! Review: I bought and read this book last summer. Barely halfway through the book, I started crying until it was over. The love letters to one another are perfect. I want to be loved like that. I'm a big fan of writers such as Stephen King and Michael Crighton, so this book didn't exactly match the style that I'm used to. But, I would recommend this book to anyone who loves to read.
Rating: Summary: Please make it a movie... Review: It has only been two days sent I sat down and read this materpiece. My mind drifts to Noah and Allie quite often during the day and each time it does, I grow to appreciate my own husband more and more. "The Notebook" truly gives the perfect example of "in sickness and in health" and shows what true love is made of. I'm sure that I will never forget this novel, unless I should happen to be dealt the same hand in the end as Allie, in which I would hope that the same miracle could happen to me and my husband. Thanks Mr. Sparks for sharing your talent. I am now a fan and truly look forward to reading your other works.
Rating: Summary: The most beautiful love story I know Review: I bought the book yesterday and finished it... yesterday. It is, I repeat, the most beautiful love story I know, and also the most complete. I find it unfair to rate it as having no literature, or being the Harlequin kind of book. Nor do I think it has the Hollywood kind of love-conquers-all, very, very weak story you just don't buy. This is the story, not only of the beginnings of love, but of one of the possible endings it may have, and surely not the easiest one. This is how I want to be loved.
Rating: Summary: Excellent piece of storytelling. Review: The best expression of the emotion of love I've come across. The Notebook is to be enjoyed by generations to come for its strong emotional power.
Rating: Summary: Perfect disclosure of the power of love. Review: The number of times I have read this book are begining to be uncountable. In it is an excellent display of the power of the only emotion that matters the most in life-love. I know no author who has been able to better express love in such a unique way. The Notebook is like no other book I have ever read. Whenever I feel down and need spiritual uplifment I pick up my copy of the Notebook and it sure does its job. To me this book is very spiritual and touches the very soul of any serious romantic. I think it is a classic that derseves more praise than it has received. The story is timeless and transcends the limtations of time and space through its ability to lift the heart to the highest state of being possible. It is a must for those who love romance.
Rating: Summary: Heart-breakingly beautiful! Review: I've read this book 3 times, and I still cried. Simple, sweet, heart-renderingly beautiful. A true love story. This one is for keeps.
Rating: Summary: An enjoyable winters read. Review: Sad to say, I have not yet finished reading the book, but I came across this website and thought I had to give my oppinion. I'm only 13 and I enjoy reading books, but only if I find them interesting, otherwise I just forget about the book. At first because I'm young I didn't know whether it was the book for me and whether it would be too confusing for me as I'm younger than what the book was writen for but I found that these are the type of novels I enjoy to read. I know I'm definantely going to recomend it to my friends in the hope that they enjoy and understand it as much as I am. Also just reading through all the responses I got affended when people sad how porly they thought of the book. I understand that we are all different and have our own oppinions and that's what makes us all unuiqe and special but to the people who didn't like it, I think it's unfair to dudge 'The Notebook' so porly just because it might not be the type of story you enjoy.
